ArtChain: GUHIT Pinas' Centralized Art Management System with Blockchain Technology

GUHIT Pinas art community is also suffering from some serious problems such as literary theft, limited ways to monetize their art, and unproductive feedback system. The researchers tried to help by proposing ArtChain: GUHIT Pinas' Centralized Art Management System with Blockchain Technology. The main feature of the bundle is the use of both blockchain and Non-Fungible Token (NFT) to provide a secure ledger and smooth transactions. The platform has the functionalities for Google Lens Application Programming Interface (API), which can scan for plagiarism, InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) a decentralized storage system, and the possibility of direct sale and online auctions. Based on a survey filled in by 50 GUHIT Pinas members, it was found out that 96% were mainly approved, 98% were in favor of blockchain-based solutions. The system was also checked with a model provided by ISO 25010, and this also testified about the highest level of functionality, usability, and security, increasing the system new potential. The new reality led to artist gain more efficiency in their workflow, better interaction, and more exposure of their work to the public. This study was conducted in order to show the capability of blockchains when it comes to art management, it can be very transparent, trustworthy. Thus, artists can also earn and be protected from unauthorized third-party utilization of their creative work. As a pioneering digital art landscape in the Philippines and in the art management system, ArtChain has set a new benchmark.
