Aroundz transforms physical assets including artworks into digital form, building a virtual asset ecosystem where anyone can invest and own assets safely and transparently.
Since its founding in 2019, Aroundz has established its presence in the art digital archive market, building on experience with digital archive construction for various institutions and corporations including the National Assembly Library.
In 2021, Aroundz entered the NFT field by collaborating with major corporations such as LG Display, YTN, and Shinsegae Food. Since 2022, it has been an official partner through a business cooperation agreement with Upbit NFT.
In 2023, Aroundz co-developed a trust-based art service with Hana Bank, and in March 2024, issued the world's first trust-based art NFT, presenting new investment opportunities converging finance, art, and blockchain.
Physical artworks are safely stored in Hana Bank's art trust, and a 「Physical Return Claim Right」 is issued as a title certificate NFT with 1:1 correspondence to each physical asset.
