# Between Walls and Markets

Own it physically. Trade it digitally. One artwork with two states.

**On the Wall:**  A physical art print exists. There is a corresponding token, but it is vaulted onchain and removed from the market.  Interact with the art by placing your phone next to its NFC chip.  \\

\
**Wall -> Market:**  Want to sell your art? No need to physically ship it.  Convert your art print into a token by accessing a passcode inside the art piece.  This invalidates your art print, but allows the artwork to return to onchain markets.\

\
**Market -> Wall:**  The token is vaulted onchain and removed from the market for at least 150 days. The physical print is shipped directly from Cryptoart.com.\
