LAGR is ArtAttest’s worldwide registry that assigns each artwork and design object a unique, blockchain-based identity, serving as a reliable “common language” for cataloging, safeguarding, and tracking assets across different markets and legal regions.
Each registered work is assigned a unique 15-character alphanumeric ID, formatted as: AAA.1A.0123456789.
LAGR ID serves as a reliable reference for tracking the object’s lifecycle, covering ownership, provenance, and verifiable documentation over time.
Using the structure AAA 1 A 0123456789:
AAA block: max 258 possibilities (given)
1 digit (1–9): 9 possibilities
1 letter (A–Z): 26 possibilities
10-digit block (0000000000–9999999999): 10¹⁰ = 10,000,000,000 possibilities (leading zeros allowed, as in your example)
Total combinations:
258×9×26×1010=603,720,000,000,000258 \times 9 \times 26 \times 10^{10} = 603{,}720{,}000{,}000{,}000
258×9×26×1010=603,720,000,000,000
603,720,000,000,000 combinations (about 6.0372 × 10¹⁴)
The art world is shifting towards a universal parent identifier usable across various platforms, with established rules for ID creation and sharing, similar to how ISBNs standardized publishing identification.
The LutinX Artwork Global Repository (LAGR) envisions a governance framework that develops protocols for unique identifiers, stored on blockchain, designed to be interoperable and openly accessible as a “parent” ID.
In line with this, LAGR is intended to serve as a lightweight, resilient marker: an identifier anchored in an immutable ledger, linked to structured metadata and evidence that can be public or restricted.
Enhanced documentation: provides a single reference to ensure consistent records of authenticity, provenance, and ownership history.
Global recognition & compatibility: an ID that moves with the object across borders, owners, and platforms, reducing duplication and fragmentation.
Basis for verifiable credentials: Blockchain anchoring can facilitate verifiable credentials for authentication and provenance as the ecosystem evolves; Artificial Intelligence supports advanced research even before obtaining the LAGR ID.
In summary: LAGR is ArtAttest’s proposal for a next-generation, globally applicable identification standard, simple in design, durable in persistence, and designed to support a transparent, scalable art and design marketplace based on the latest innovative technologies.
THE MAIN USE CASES
Artists
Assign a LAGR ID to each artwork to create a persistent digital identity from the start, enhancing credibility and deterring copying or misattribution.
It also helps manage editions, series, and releases with consistent references over time.
Collectors
Use LAGR as a long-term anchor for your collection files: ownership records, provenance, condition history, and key documents stay linked to a stable identifier.
This facilitates smoother resale, inheritance planning, and cross-border moves by maintaining organized, verifiable records.
Wealth managers
Use LAGR to improve “asset-grade” documentation for art and design holdings in private wealth portfolios, supporting due diligence and risk controls.
A single ID helps coordinate lenders, insurers, advisors, and custodians around the same verified reference.
Commercial galleries
Use LAGR IDs to standardize inventory records and dossiers for each work, enabling faster, more defensible consignments and sales.
A single global ID reduces friction when sharing documentation with buyers, insurers, shippers, and foreign partners.
Museum registrars
Use LAGR to consolidate registration, loan records, movement logs, and condition reports under a single persistent identifier for each object.
This approach streamlines inter-institutional loans and long-term collection management, while minimizing record fragmentation.
Regulators
Utilize LAGR as a practical guide to improve transparency in documentation processes. It supports risk-based verifications while avoiding the need to disclose sensitive data publicly.
Additionally, it can enhance audit trails for provenance, title transfer, and compliance reporting when necessary.
For the first time in history, artists worldwide can easily protect, share, and sell their artwork.
With ArtAttest, you can be verified as an artist and, most importantly, offer your client the option to verify the Artwork you sold, whether from you or through the Art Gallery!
