03 — Digital-art custody since 2022
Curation.

What we mean by "digital art"
Digital art is not a trend; it is a consequent extension of art history. Cave paintings, oil, photography — every era had its medium. In the digital era the medium is digital. On-chain storage documents authenticity, provenance, and ownership transparently and tamper-resistantly. We respect the depth of traditional art and see the digital form not as a replacement but as a complement.
What sets us apart from crypto speculation: every work is appraised individually on artistic grounds — concept, execution, artist record, interplay within the collection. Market momentum is one data point, not the rail.
Custody as a discipline
Custody of digital-art access — in practice, of private keys — is where most collectors get stuck. Cold storage, multi-sig, geographically distributed backups, secure facilities with physical access control: Eternalyst operates this with a Swiss logistics partner whose standards come from the classical securities and precious-metals context.
