proof that travels with the piece — not a paper coa
On resale, a paper certificate proves almost nothing — it's easy to copy, lose, or separate from the item. Give each piece a digital record the next owner can hold and check from their phone.

a real example — what your buyer sees when they scan
your first piece, certified in under 2 minutes
register your piece
Add the item — title, maker, materials, photos. Each piece (and each edition) gets its own unique tag.
give it its tag & certificate
authe creates a unique tag plus a digital certificate of ownership. Attach the tag; the certificate stays with the piece's record.
it passes to the next owner
When the piece sells, its record and certificate can transfer to the new owner — who scans to see the full history.
what the next owner sees
Everything you record lands on the next owner. They scan, see ✓ verified, and read the piece's history — who made it, where it's been, who's owned it. That continuity is what a paper certificate can never give them — and what protects the piece's value on every resale. It's not just a nice idea anymore, either: US and UK property law now formally recognizes digital ownership records like these.
made for collectibles makers & resellers
You make or resell limited-run pieces — sneakers, watches, cards, art — where the value lives in provenance. The credible options are enterprise contracts, dedicated scanning hardware, or per-item fees that only make sense for five-figure lots. authe gives each piece a transferable record, self-serve, for cents.

common questions
how is this different from a paper certificate of authenticity?+
A paper COA is easy to copy, lose, or separate from the piece. The authe record is digital, tied to the piece's tag, and transfers with it — the next owner can hold the certificate and check the full history from their phone.
can ownership really transfer on resale?+
Yes — when the piece sells, its record and certificate of ownership can pass to the new owner, and the history stays intact. US and UK property law now formally recognizes digital ownership records like these.
does authe verify that my piece is genuine?+
Straight talk: authe proves a consistent identity and history — it's not a forensic test, and it doesn't verify your attribution, condition, or materials; you provide those, and it records them. A flagged scan means ‘couldn't verify’, not ‘fake’.
do my buyers need an app or a wallet?+
No. Scanning is app-free and account-free — any phone camera opens the piece's verify page. There's no wallet to set up; the record-keeping is secured behind the scenes.
does it work for editions, not just one-offs?+
Yes — each piece in an edition gets its own tag and record, and the edition shares an ownership & history trail, so a buyer sees both the piece and the run it belongs to.
