Why we created Saisho

+1,400%

Contemporary Art has emerged as the art market's primary locomotive, leading the art market, with a turnover growth of +1,400% in 17 years*, reflecting an extremely dynamic market, reaching up to 12,4% of annual profitability**.

Global art sales rose to $63.7 Billion last year...

The art market is characterized by its exclusivity, lack of liquidity, price manipulation, secrecy and lack of transparency. *Source: Art Basel & UBS Report

... However, centuries pass and the art market remains the same. Therefore, there is a big opportunity for exponential grow.

Even though the online art market is in constant growth, there are just few solutions that are able to actually disrupt it. Fundamental issues to address are the lack of price transparency, self-regulation and the lack of funds for artists to produce high value artworks (less than 15%- generate enough income to work as artists).

Opportunities & The Future of the Art Market

Therefore, there is the opportunity to create an organized, decentralized, liquid and stable market ecosystem to connect artists, collectors and patrons.

Meet Saisho, the decentralized art ecosystem

Welcome to Saisho, the new decentralized gallery ecosystem

Saisho is the organized, decentralized, liquid and stable market ecosystem that connects artists, collectors and patrons to facilitate the creation of quality works, artistic patronage and investment in artworks throughout the planet.

In Saisho, anyone can understand the rules and why an artist is more valued than another.

This system allows us to determine which artists (according to the market) have more liquidity and which of them will have more probabilities to succeed in the following years.

The first global quoted art market

That's why we created the first art marketplace in the world in which the artwork's price has a market rational, since prices are based on a proprietary algorithm centered on a competitive market and the dependence on the interaction of supply and demand of artists.

Artworks acquired in Saisho can be re-sold in the platform, turning art lovers into art investors.

We want to turn Saisho into a real-time quoted artistic market that works as a worldwide reference.

Blockchain powered

Our STO will allow you and anyone in the world to invest directly and participate in the future profits of Saisho´s artists. Our goal is to give the possibility to the best global up and coming artists to become a full-time artist and having that art generate a sustainable income.

Thus, you can become their patron and participate in their future profits, obtained based on a regulated, liquid and transparent market ecosystem.

Saisho is governed by a pricing system for each participating artist and the evolution of the art work´s price is based on his or her sales. This allows potential STO investors to estimate the potential returns in the coming years within different scenarios regarding the number of artworks previously sold.

How it works

In order to create this art patronage market ecosystem, Saisho works with two types of tokens with different functionalities and characteristics: 1) Saisho Token (ST) and 2) Artist Token (AT).

  1. Buy Saisho Tokens

    Contribute to our STO and receive Saisho Tokens.

    How it works 1
  2. Vote for your favorite artists

    Our token holders will be the only ones allowed to select the artists to invest.

    We will provide a list of all participating artists in Saisho marketplace.

    You'll be able to access and analyze their performance, appreciate their artworks, and obtain relevant information regarding their career and evolution, in order to help you make a decision on your potential investment.

    How it works 2
  3. Invest in your chosen artists

    According to the votes of our token holders, the artists with most votes will be open to be invested in.

    You'll be then able to exchange your Saisho Tokens (ST) for Artist Tokens (AT). As the exchange rate against AT is fixed, the ST intrinsic value will not change between the STO date and the AT acquisition date.

    How it works 3
  4. Profit

    The AT will provide the token holder the possibility to share with the artist the proceeds earned from the artwork sales in S during a period of 6 years, this is, an annual economic right over the 30% the artist's proceeds earned in Saisho.

    The accumulated proceeds from the artist sales will be valued in fiat currency and will be paid once a year to the AT holder wallet in our platform with cryptocurrencies [Bitcoin, Eter] (it will be applied the daily exchange rate against fiat currency of each cryptocurrency in the moment of the proceeds payment).

    Don't want to wait? No problem. You can exchange your tokens anytime in our platform or in other external exchanges.

    Also, you can exchange these tokens with you selected artist (s) for different services, such as workshops, different artworks or professional consulting services.
