# TL/DR

**We're growing a collection of crypto art NFTs and we're backing them with physical art.**<br>

* All art in the collection is human-created and crypto-aligned. No AI.
* Holders can "pair" (redeem) their NFT to receive a [physical](https://cryptoart.com/collections/all), limited edition art piece shipped from [Cryptoart.com](https://cryptoart.com).
* Holders can "unpair" (un-redeem) their NFT by "destroying" the physical piece. This allows the holder to sell the NFT in a redeemable state, enabling future holders to pair it with the same physical numbered art piece. The process removes risks and authentication concerns normally associated with collector-to-collector shipment of physical art.
* [Stories](/cryptoart/the-art/stories.md) can be added to NFTs to evolve the cultural chain of provenance as NFTs pass between collectors.
* We use light scarcity mechanics to incentivize the [burn](/cryptoart/the-art/scarcity.md) of weaker images for stronger images.  Supply expansion has [required floor price](/cryptoart/the-art/scarcity.md) achievements.&#x20;
* Holders have clear [IP usage rights](/cryptoart/the-project/terms.md).
* The collection is seeded by tokenizing the original Cryptoart physicals created from 2013 to 2020. &#x20;
* We're building non-tribal; Ethereum for the contract, IPFS/Bitcoin for media permanence. All web3 for subject matter source and vaults.

{% hint style="info" %}
Holders don't literally destroy their physical art piece to unpair it. Instead, they destroy the validity and authentication mechanism rendering the art piece visibly unsellable.&#x20;
