Startrail, developed and managed primarily by Startbahn, is an infrastructure supporting the development of the arts ecosystem by furthering its trust and credibility with blockchain technology. (https://startrail.io/)
With a design and governance that emphasizes social implementation and public interest, Startrail will provide public infrastructure to everyone, without compromising the trust and value formation processes that the art industry has built up over the years.
The information stored on Startrail can be used for managing ownership, the provenance, and the secondary distribution of the artwork. Furthermore, copyright and edition management on secondary use of the artwork and generation of the royalty-type revenue upon the secondary distribution through an automated contract program using smart contract will be available in the future.
Security of information recorded on the blockchain (Startrail)
In order to enhance the reliability of the information recorded on the (public) blockchain, the information is basically made public and managed in a decentralized manner.
In order to maintain the trustworthiness of the information recorded on the blockchain, while at the same time maintaining the anonymity of users' personal information, Startbahn separates the information recorded and published on Startrail from the information managed only within the services connected to Startrail.
Some Information that needs to be shared across services, such as information about the artwork itself and information about distribution and trading rights, will be recorded and published on Startrail. On the other hand, personal information such as the owner's personal information will be managed only within the service in accordance with the privacy policy and terms of use of each service.
