A TOAT (Tradable Original Art Token) is a blockchain-based digital certificate permanently linked to your physical painting. It provides tamper-proof authentication, ownership history, and enables direct resale without auction house fees.
TOATs are for major original works (£2,000-£1,000,000), while TOAT Sketches are A3-sized original oils with the same blockchain authentication at accessible prices, designed to be regularly traded and flipped. Both use identical technology but target different collector levels.
