About Provenance Check
Verify what you are actually buying before you buy a digital collectible.
What we do
Independent verification. Paste a listing or a contract address and get a full report: whether the artwork is original or a copy of work published elsewhere, verified through reverse image search across the web, whether the contract permits the creator to alter or revoke, transfer restrictions and royalty behaviour, wash trading detection from trade pattern analysis, creator identity verification where it exists, and where the assets are actually stored, since much of the market points at links that will eventually break. Every finding shows its evidence.
Who we built it for
Buyers and holders
People buying or holding digital collectibles and tokenised assets who want to check what they are buying.
Marketplaces and custodians
Platforms that need to screen listings and reduce fraud losses.
The problem
The digital collectible market is thick with counterfeits, copied artwork listed as originals, contracts with hidden transfer restrictions, fake trading volume created to manufacture the appearance of demand, and collections whose creators have disappeared.
Buyers have no practical way to check any of it, and losses are routine.
Try it before anything else

The one promise
The free tool on this site is genuinely free and genuinely useful. It does not withhold the answer behind an email form, it does not degrade after a trial, and it does not exist to harvest your data. If it helps you and you never pay us, that is a fine outcome.
