The new service will turn historical artifacts into NFTs as a method for tracking ownership and provenance.
Computer scientist Adel Khelifi, of the University of Abu Dhabi, and archaeologist Mark Altaweel, from University College London, recentlythe development of a Web3-based verification-as-a-service model for determining and recording the authenticity and provenance of cultural artifacts.
In an email interview with Cointelegraph, Altaweel said Salsal would be offered specifically to “cultural heritage organisations.”There currently exists no official globally recognized registry for items of historical significance. Despite this, most territories have laws governing the procurement, collection, trade, buying and selling of artifacts of cultural significance, especially when they’re discovered on public or protected land.
The team behind Salsal hopes to address some of these concerns by creating what’s essentially a protocol for identifying, grading and recording information about specific artifacts using a suite of technology tools. Ultimately, the researchers hope to see mass adoption of their service. They envision a paradigm where curators aspire to have their collections validated via Salsal as a matter of verification — something that might be akin to having a rare collectible such as a comic book graded by a commercial validator.
