Company mission

To build an inspiring, innovative and transparent world for both the art industry and our people.

Our take

Pioneering a new, fairer vision for the art world, Arcual addresses the unique needs of the art ecosystem, unlocking value at every step of an artwork’s journey for artists, galleries, and collectors alike. Its platform supports royalty sharing, digital authenticity, and verified provenance.

As the first blockchain ecosystem for the art community, the company actively promotes participation, authenticity, and traceability to connect and reward everyone in the ecosystem. Its product enables users to create customisable smart contracts, generate digital provenance, enable automatic payments and transactions, and more, all from its comprehensive platform.

Born from decades of experience and expertise, the company was founded by the Luma Foundation, M.CH, Art Basel, and BCG Digital Ventures. Arcual is well positioned to see growth as its innovative solution builds the future of the art world.
