What is a Proof-of-Print Certificate?
Every NFT3D order ships with one. Here is what a Proof-of-Print Certificate actually is, what it records, and why it is a certificate of authenticity rather than a new token.
NFT3D StudioPhysical collectibles have always needed provenance — a way to prove a piece is the genuine article. For a printed NFT, that proof is the Proof-of-Print Certificate. Here's exactly what it is.
A certificate of authenticity, not a new token
We deliberately do not mint a new blockchain token for your print. Minting a duplicate token would only add noise to your collection. Instead, each order gets a signed certificate — physical and digital — that ties the object back to the artwork you already own.
What it records
- The source contract and token ID of the NFT you printed
- A unique serial number for the physical piece
- The material, size and finish you chose
- The print and dispatch dates, and a QC photo of your actual object
The same source contract, token ID and serial number are laser-engraved into the base plaque, so the object carries its own provenance even off the certificate.
Why it matters
If you ever sell or gift the piece, the certificate travels with it — a permanent, verifiable record that this is the authentic edition of your artwork, made by NFT3D. It's the collectible equivalent of a signed, numbered print: honest, durable, and yours.
