You share your shipping address, and soon enough, the physical artwork arrives at your door, ready to be displayed.
You find the perfect spot for it in your home and hang it up, admiring the blend of colors and textures. But there’s something even more exciting—this artwork comes with an augmented reality feature. When you look at it through your phone, the art comes alive, adding layers of depth and interaction that make it feel like it’s leaping off the wall.
Later, you’re at a party, and the conversation turns to what’s new in your world. Naturally, you start talking about your new Maxximillian Pepavaggio art piece. But instead of just showing a picture on your phone, you do something unexpected. You open the AR app, point your phone at a blank wall, and project the artwork onto it in real-time. Everyone around you can see it, as if you had brought the physical piece from your home and hung it right there at the party. It’s a far richer experience than scrolling through Instagram photos—a true fusion of digital and physical worlds.
And the best part? Some of these artworks may develop even more dynamic augmented reality features in the future, making them interactive in ways you can’t yet imagine. But even if they don’t, you’re already enjoying a cutting-edge piece of art that transcends traditional boundaries.
Each of these tokens represents a unique digital art masterpiece, securely transferred with provenance, transfer and chain of ownership recorded on an immutable public ledger on one of the fastest growing global networks should you wish to sell or trade your digital art asset; anyone at a glance can guarantee its authenticity and rarity.
▼Explore the key concepts that make this possible
Each of these digital artworks is represented by what we call a token. In this context each token has a unique number and represents a unique work of art, unlike any other. To understand why this matters, let’s explore the key concepts that make this possible.
These tokens are stored on a blockchain—a secure, decentralized ledger. Think of the blockchain as a vast, unchangeable record book that exists across countless computers around the world.
▼So, these digital artworks are assets called tokens, and they are stored on a blockchain—a secure publicly viewable ledger of transactions?
Let's clarify this. The digital assets are not actually "stored" on the blockchain. Instead, what the blockchain does is act as a highly secure, decentralized ledger that records the ownership and transaction history of these assets. Think of it as an indestructible digital record book that keeps track of who owns what and ensures that no one can tamper with the details. This is crucial for proving the authenticity and ownership of each piece, which is where the value of these assets truly lies.
Now, moving forward, each of these digital assets carries a unique identifier—a kind of serial number—that’s inscribed on this public ledger. This ensures that every piece is one-of-a-kind, with its authenticity and provenance verifiable by anyone, even though the ledger itself is anonymous by default. This balance of transparency and privacy is part of what makes the blockchain so powerful in the world of digital art and collectibles.
▼Digital Fine Art Transfer of Ownership and Self-custody
Now, let’s delve into self-custody. When you own a piece of tokenized art on the blockchain, you control it directly through something called a digital wallet. This wallet is secured by cryptography, a sophisticated form of code that protects your ownership rights. The phrase “not your keys, not your crypto” is crucial here. It means that unless you hold the private keys to your wallet, you don’t truly control the art or any other digital assets in it. The private key is like a password that allows you to access your art and proves that it belongs to you.
Maxximillian Pepavaggio digital fine art on Base is securely transferred and presented by Transient Labs, the files are stored on AR Weave—today's highest standard in permanent digital storage. There is something like a signpost leading to the media file—the art itself. It’s existence permanently inscribed on the blockchain, linked to a specific token—think of a token like a digital package within it: a map to the media, contextual details about the life and past owners of the artwork that carries a unique serial number. This serial number is like a fingerprint—no two tokens are the same, making each piece of art singular in its existence. The public ledger records every transaction involving each work of Maxximillian Pepavaggio art, from its creation to any future sales. While this ledger is public—anyone can view the history of the token—it remains anonymous by default. Your identity as the owner isn’t revealed unless you choose to disclose it, ensuring privacy while maintaining transparency.
▼About Maxximillan Pepavaggio art provenance
Every time a piece of digital art is created and assigned a token, it’s recorded on this ledger. This process ensures provenance, the detailed history of the artwork, making it clear where the art came from and verifying that it’s genuine—its authenticity is beyond question.
Acquiring digital art onchain means you’re literally securing a piece of art history, with its authenticity and provenance meticulously documented and protected on a system that is both secure and decentralized. This is the future of art, where the value is not just in the aesthetic but in the security and certainty of its existence and ownership.

This print is not just any reproduction; it is a signed, numbered, archival print guaranteed to remain bright and intact for a very long time, and guaranteed to be Print Number One—a collector’s dream.
