Frequently asked questions
What is provenance in NFTs?
It's the complete, transparent record of an NFT's creation and every owner since, all provable on-chain.
Why does provenance matter for NFTs?
It proves authenticity and a clean chain of ownership automatically, a key advantage over traditional art where provenance can be forged or lost.
Can NFT provenance be faked?
The on-chain transfer history itself can't be faked, though buyers should still verify the original minting contract is the genuine project.
