About Startrail - https://startbahn.io/startrail

Startrail is a sustainable and scalable blockchain infrastructure that assures the reliability, authenticity, and traceability of works and supports the long-term inheritance of their value. NFT issued on Startrail permanently records a wealth of data that protects the value of your work, including information on the NFT issuer and a comprehensive history of the work's provenance. Also, it seamlessly manages a collection of works across services, by setting Terms & Conditions for secondary distribution and use of works in advance. Due to the nature of blockchain, this information cannot be deleted, tampered with, or duplicated. It can be issued for a variety of art forms, including along with physical works such as paintings, sculptures, and installations, and digital works based on data such as images, video, and audio.
