KnownOrigin is one of the leading digital art marketplaces powered by the Ethereum blockchain. As an artist-driven platform, it offers an easy approach for digital creators to authenticate, showcase and sell the artwork they produce. The marketplace wants to empower digital creatives the world over to monetize their crafts and to involve with their fan base and collectors on a transparent, meaningful, and fair basis. With a major goal to develop and deploy a community-run and own platform, encouraging artists and collectors by offering a core pillar for the future of Web3.0.    David Moore, James Morgan, and Andy Gray are the Co-Founders of one of the earliest and most rapidly growing Ethereum art platforms within Web3.0., launched KnownOrigin with a POP-up gallery event in Manchester, in 2020. At present, the team has grown to 40+ employees, 1000+ artists with over 7000 editions and more than 11K digital artworks sold totaling $1.3 million in sales to date. The firm has raised a total of $4.69 million from  10 investors including MetaCartel Ventures and Colborn.    Collectors have an exceptional opportunity to buy and sell artworks tokenized as NFTs minted through the KnownOrigin smart contract. As a commission-based platform, there is no need for any middleman, hence artists will immediately receive commissions for their artwork. The platform allows artists to submit limited-edition artwork that is backed by blockchain technology, whereas the combination of smart contracts and ERC721 (NFT) compliance adds a higher level of transparency and security that has never been seen.
