Startbahn careers

Startbahn is a company that aims to realize a richer society by providing the technology needed by artists and people involved in art all over the world. We are promoting the development of Startrail, a blockchain infrastructure for art distribution and evaluation. We are also developing Startbahn Cert., a service using Startrail, and working on joint projects with other companies.

Startrail, an infrastructure for the distribution and evaluation of artworks, for a thriving fine arts ecosystem by furthering its trust and credibility.

This infrastructure provides an environment which actors around the world can access and where they can manage provenance of artworks and comply with the rules together.

The traditional certificate management system has many risks, such as tampering, copying, counterfeiting, and losing. These risks are detrimental to the credibility of the art market and the value of an art piece that depends on the evaluation in the secondary distribution. Players involved in the secondary art market often spend a considerable amount of time and money on background checks and rights management of an art piece to secure its credibility.

Startrail, the blockchain network for art, can solve issues like the above in the art market.

By issuing a Startrail Registry Record (SRR) for an artwork, every time it is bought, sold, given, displayed, stored, or restored, such information will be automatically recorded on SRR. The tamper-resistant and transparent nature of the blockchain ensures the authenticity of those pieces of information, thus protecting the true value of the artwork.

The white paper of Startrail was released in 2019 to give a full picture of the project including its vision and specifications.
