proof that travels with the piece
Paper certificates get copied, and they get lost. Give each piece a digital record instead, one the next owner can hold and check from their phone.

your first piece, certified in under 2 minutes
register your piece
Add the piece: title, maker, materials, photos. Each piece (and each edition) gets its own tag.
give it its tag & certificate
authe creates a unique tag and 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. They scan and see the full history.
what the next owner sees
The next owner scans, sees ✓ verified, and reads the piece's history: who made it, who's owned it since. A paper certificate can't carry that, and at resale the history is what the buyer pays for. 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 rides on who owned it before. The alternatives are enterprise contracts, scanning hardware, or fees that only make sense on 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 and easy to lose. The authe record is tied to the piece's tag and transfers with it, so the next owner can 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?+
It proves a consistent identity and history, not that the physical item is genuine. We record your attribution, condition and materials as you give them, and we don't check them. A flagged scan means ‘couldn't verify’, not ‘fake’.
do my buyers need an app or a wallet?+
No. Any phone camera opens the piece's verify page, no app and no account. There's no wallet to set up, and the record-keeping happens 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 one history trail, so a buyer sees both the piece and the run it belongs to.
what does it cost?+
Free to start. We add $100 / €100 of credit to certify your first piece. After that a small fee per piece, pay-as-you-go, no contract.
