How DrawADraw works

01The artwork enters custody first

Before any campaign opens, the original work is authenticated (certificate of authenticity + the artist's attestation that it is hand-executed), condition-reported, appraised, insured, and placed in a bonded freeport vault. Its provenance certificate is minted as a unique NFT whose metadata pins those documents — the token that will ultimately belong to the winner.

02Collect editions, or enter free

Each $10 purchase (USDC or ETH, on Ethereum) mints a numbered digital edition of the artwork, signed by the artist — yours to keep and trade regardless of the draw. Entries into the draw come as a promotional bonus with each edition, or free by mail with identical odds. Both routes land in one append-only, hash-chained entry ledger with the same shared entry pool, with identical odds per entry.

03A fixed window, a frozen list, a provable draw

Every campaign has a hard end date published in its Official Rules; selling out closes entry early, and nothing ever extends. At close, the complete entry list is frozen and its Merkle root committed on-chain. Chainlink VRF then supplies verifiable randomness, and the winning entry follows a published deterministic rule anyone can recompute.

04The winner takes the NFT — and chooses

After identity, eligibility, and sanctions verification, the escrow releases the artwork NFT to the winner behind a visible on-chain delay. The physical work: keep it vaulted and insured (first year included), have it shipped by fine-art logistics with the platform covering transport and import costs up to the amount stated in the rules, or consign it for sale without it ever leaving the vault. At any physical handover, the piece is NFC-paired to its token and the custody record updates on-chain — the NFT remains its permanent provenance.
