Description

Zeitls bridges the physical art world with the digital future by digitizing real, museum-held historical objects and artworks into blockchain-verified 'History-Backed Tokens' (HBTs), each accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity and non-physical ownership rights usable in the metaverse. The company works directly with museums and private collectors (e.g., the Devil Museum in Kaunas and the estate/legacy of Tarsila do Amaral) to acquire non-physical rights to objects, then handles roadmap development, 3D digitization, marketing, smart-contract-based auctions with built-in KYC/AML compliance, and ongoing secondary-market monitoring via proprietary AI tools. Its collections include 'Devils of Kaunas', 'The Joker', and 'The Variations of Tarsila do Amaral' (currently paused pending a legal dispute), showcased through project-specific sites and a virtual gallery on Oncyber. Clients/partners are primarily museums and institutional or private art collectors, while its customers are NFT collectors and metaverse participants seeking authenticated digital ownership of historical artifacts.
