Some systems such are focusing on the registration in blockchain of a high-definition 2D image of the asset: from a technological point of view AEC has a large competitive advantage based on the fact that it operates on 3D - which adds a metric identification of the physical micro-characteristics (difficult to reproduce) that 2D images cannot collect - and that it natively adopts AI algorithms, to operate on a large scale. Working on the analysis of 3D images today requires a set of technical skills and algorithms not easily available on the market, which AerariumChain has equipped itself with and continues to do so, with a focus on this area of application. Several companies are developing blockchain in the art world and in this case too we are the only actor who applies different technologies capable of making information unique and reliable
