   WISeKey has joining forces with CasperLabs, the developer of Casper, the 
most reliable and secure blockchain for businesses, in a strategic 
partnership to bring trust to the hype around Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT) 
with the launch of

TrustedNFT.io. This strategic partnership will provide a dedicated, 
secure marketplace on the Casper Network for buying and selling NFTs, 
including artwork and luxury goods. The first major auction will occur 
in Summer 2021, with more information to come soon. 
 
   "By combining our Root of Trust with the Casper blockchain, we have 
created an innovative Trust Protocol that enables a wide range of use 
cases and business models, simply not possible with current 
blockchain-based solutions on their own," said Carlos Moreira, Founder 
and CEO of WISeKey. "The first application of this collaboration will be 
the auctioning of digital twins of artwork and luxury collectibles, 
which we indisputably move into the virtual world, yet make their 
illegal use impossible." 
 
   The marketplace combines the strengths of WISeKey and Ocean. WISeKey has 
developed specialized chips to link physical items with NFTs, and 
world-class blockchain identity technology. Ocean has developed powerful 
decentralized marketplace technology, battle-hardened in the domain of 
data. Combined with WISeKey's NFTs, this marketplace technology readily 
ports to the domain of physical art and offers other benefits given the 
Ocean team's pioneering experience in blockchain art platforms. 
 
   Purchasing an exclusive piece of art is always a matter of great joy, 
but this purchase comes with the concern that the work may be stolen, 
the art itself may not be an original, or its provenance might not be 
verifiable. While most high-end art collectors find it difficult to stop 
such acts, WISeKey's WISeART technology takes steps to protect exclusive 
pieces of artwork. It combines cutting-edge authentication 
microprocessors with identity blockchain technology, which together with 
on-the-ground measures can ensure the authenticity of the artwork (see

traced, making it difficult to be traded on the secondary market. This 
control is possible to practice because each artwork's identity is 
stored on an immutable ledger (blockchain) in the implemented system.
