WHAT IS SIGN Art?

SIGN Art is a web gallery of Blockchain-Certified Digital Art.

ARTISTS have the option to tokenize their CREATIONS by permanently linking each to a unique Non-Fungible Token or NFT, and sell as a single or in limited editions.

COLLECTORS can use the platform to display their COLLECTIONS of NFTs, transfer or gift to any Waves account, and *sell in the secondary market.

The SIGN Art dApp is built on top of the Waves Protocol which executes instant transactions, with fixed low-cost fees. NFTs are minted on chain at no cost, with every buy request.

The platform requires the $SIGN utility token for Artists to manage profiles and creations. Digital creations can be sold in $SIGN, $WAVES or $USDN.

Here is a list of different options that may resolve the issue:

  • Check your upload speed (Slow upload under 2Mb is often the reason of HTTPError)
  • Clear your browsing data (make sure you save your waves account seed)
