    {
      "question": "How does a buyer verify the artwork's authenticity?",
      "answer": "The buyer taps the NFC tag on the artwork with any NFC-enabled smartphone. A mobile web page opens showing the authentication status (verified / unverified), artist name, artwork details, provenance history and a high-resolution image for visual comparison. The NTAG 424 DNA chip generates a unique cryptographic SUN signature with each tap that is verified against the cloud registry — proving the tag is genuine, not a copy."
    },
    {
      "question": "Can the provenance record be updated after the tag is applied?",
      "answer": "Yes. The provenance record is stored in a cloud-based registry, not on the chip itself. The chip provides the unforgeable identity link to the cloud record. Exhibition history, ownership transfers, conservation reports and appraisal values can be added to the record over time by authorised parties (galleries, auction houses, conservators) through the registry's web interface."
    },
    {
      "question": "Is the tag visible on the artwork?",
      "answer": "No. The tag is typically placed on the reverse side of the canvas, inside the frame, on the backing board, or embedded within a sculpture base. It is invisible to viewers from the front and does not affect the artwork's appearance. The tag is less than 0.5 mm thick and weighs under 1 gram."
    },
    {
      "question": "Does the NFC tag integrate with the Art Loss Register, Interpol stolen-works database, Carabinieri TPC and other institutional databases?",
      "answer": "Yes, via the cloud registry middleware. At tap time, our registry performs a cross-reference lookup against: the Art Loss Register (via ALR Commercial API, subscription-based; typical use by auction houses + major galleries); Interpol Works of Art database (public search at www.interpol.int); FBI National Stolen Art File (public search); Italy's Carabinieri TPC database (public search, Italian-language); Germany's Lost Art database (public search); national / regional lost-art registries per jurisdiction. If a match (or partial match) is flagged, the tap UX displays a 'pending verification' state rather than 'authentic', and the registry notifies the designated compliance contact. This satisfies AAMD / ICOM Code of Ethics due-diligence expectations for institutional holders. The Art Loss Register API is a paid commercial service; we pass the subscription cost through to the tag holder or bundle it for large collections; self-hosted search against public databases is included at no additional fee."
    },
    {
      "question": "Can the NFC tag work alongside blockchain art-provenance platforms like Arianee, Verisart or Artory, or does it replace them?",
      "answer": "They are complementary layers, not alternatives. The NFC tag is the physical-to-digital binding (the chip UID is the tamper-evident anchor attached to the artwork); the blockchain is the public, immutable ownership ledger; the cloud registry is the private metadata store (appraisal, conservation reports, high-res condition photos). A typical architecture: Arianee ERC-721 on Polygon holds the canonical on-chain ownership record + transfer history; our NFC chip UID is bound to the Arianee tokenID at mint; tap opens a UX that queries Arianee (on-chain) + our registry (off-chain metadata) and composes a single view. Verisart uses similar Bitcoin + Ethereum timestamping; Artory, Chronicled and Provenance.io each have their own schemas. We are platform-agnostic — give us the blockchain platform and smart-contract address and we bind the chip UID to the platform's tokenID at encoding. For collectors, galleries and museums that want the immutability guarantee of on-chain records plus a tamper-evident physical anchor, the two layers combined give the strongest provenance posture available today."
