NON-FUNGIBLE VAULT.NON-FUNGIBLE VAULT.
Designed to withstand natural and man-made disasters, in the safest location on Earth, NFTs stored here will last for centuries.
We're etching NFTs (including the art and provenance information) onto special purpose-built silver-halide film that is designed to last for over 1,000 years. The films are then stored in a decommissioned coal mine in the Svalbard archipelago, known as the Arctic World Archive.

Established in 2017, the Arctic World Archive (AWA) already holds an impressive collection of valuable digital artefacts and irreplaceable information from around the world.
The AWA is home to manuscripts from the Vatican Library, political histories, scientific history from the European Space Agency, masterpieces from different eras (including Rembrandt and Munch), scientific breakthroughs and contemporary cultural treasures from around the world.
And now some of the most influential and culturally significant digital art will become a part of human history.
THE PERMANENCE PROBLEM.THE PERMANENCE PROBLEM.
Traditional art has stood the test of time with pieces created some 45,000 years ago still in existence, yet NFTs minted 45 days ago are already missing.
We truly believe that NFTs are here to stay and will shape a new creator economy to become some of the most influential and culturally significant works of our time. But some of these works are at risk of being lost forever.
That's why we are creating the Non-Fungible Vault—to protect provenance by safely storing these works for generations to come.
Provenance
/ˈprɒv(ə)nəns/ noun
a record of ownership of a work of art or an antique, used as a guide to authenticity or quality.
PROTECTING PROVENANCE.PROTECTING PROVENANCE.
If we were to sum up NFTs in one word it would be that—provenance.
Provenance that saw the birth of the metaverse, that defined an explosion of creative digital expression, and that will be culturally significant in generations to come.
We believe it is important to protect that provenance—from the on-chain records through to the beautiful artwork and creations themselves.
The Non-Fungible Vault will help to communicate the story and creative expression of our world to future generations, much like the golden records of the Voyager 1 and 2 spacecrafts.
INSIDE THE VAULT.INSIDE THE VAULT.
We've partnered with the following projects and artists to form "COHORT ONE" and bring their works to the Non-Fungible Vault. They share our 1,000-year vision and are passionate about protecting their provenance.
The first deposit will take place in early 2022, accompanied by a professional videographer to capture the historical moment.
