01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
Reasoned Art was an Italian startup founded in 2019 and based in Genoa — the first Italian company dedicated to crypto art. Its blockchain-based platform (built on Polygon) curated digital artists worldwide, staged physical and virtual exhibitions, and certified the authenticity of works sold as NFTs through smart contracts, bridging the traditional art world and the crypto-art ecosystem. It also ran its own NFT projects, such as Monuverse, a collection of 3D-model artworks of iconic monuments aimed at supporting cultural heritage preservation.
