About Us
Provenance was built on one belief — every moment deserves proof.
For decades, fans have trusted paper certificates and promises to prove authenticity. Provenance changes that — giving teams, athletes, and collectors a digital trust layer that pairs every authenticated item with an NFC tag and a verifiable blockchain record.
Our mission is to make authenticity transparent, traceable, and transferable — turning every verified collectible into a living connection between teams and fans.
Our vision is a world where every piece of memorabilia — from a rookie’s first jersey to a championship puck — carries an unbreakable record of truth, ownership, and legacy.
“We help teams, athletes, and collectors protect brand value, authenticate every item, and preserve a verifiable record of origin and ownership.”

Advisor and CollaboratorWhat is Provenance?
Provenance gives every collectible a trusted history — showing not just if it’s real, but where it’s been and who owned it.
How does Provenance track an item?
Items are tagged with a secure NFC chip and linked to a blockchain record so every chain of custody is logged.
What makes Provenance different from a paper certificate?
Paper certificates can be lost or forged — Provenance stores a digital, tamper‑proof record tied to the item itself.
Does Provenance help teams?
Teams gain clear visibility into every item’s movement and can potentially generate revenue from resale activity.
Why isn’t traditional authentication enough?
Traditional methods prove authenticity once but don’t track what happens after — Provenance fills that gap with full custody tracking with first sale and resales.
Why do collectors care about provenance?
Because knowing the story behind the item — not just that it’s real — boosts confidence, trust, and long‑term value.
Can fans verify an item themselves?
Yes — with a simple scan or lookup, fans can see the item’s full verified history on their phone.
Can this system help reduce fraud?
Absolutely — transparent tracking and verification make it much harder for counterfeit or misrepresented items to circulate.
What info is stored in the history?
Event details, ownership transfers, sale history, and relevant product details are all part of the recorded chain.
Is history stored forever?
Yes — once it’s recorded on blockchain, the item’s provenance history is permanent and tamper‑proof. Its immutable record.
