ArtisanFlow: Tokenized Royalty Protocol ArtisanFlow is a decentralized platform that empowers local artisans by tokenizing their physical creations. By leveraging blockchain technology, we ensure that creators receive automated royalties every time their work is resold, solving the issue of secondary market exploitation.

🚀 The Problem Traditional artisans often sell their work once and never benefit from its increasing value in the secondary market. Current royalty systems are manual, opaque, and easily bypassed.

💡 Our Solution We use a Token-Based Royalty Protocol where each physical product is linked to a unique digital asset (NFT/Token).

Provenance: A permanent record of the artisan's authorship.

Smart Royalties: A coded agreement that automatically triggers a % payout to the artisan's wallet upon every secondary sale.

Transparency: All transactions are verifiable on-chain.

🛠 Tech Stack Blockchain: Ethereum / Polygon / Google Cloud Blockchain Node

Smart Contracts: Solidity (ERC-721 / ERC-2981 for Royalties)

Frontend: React.js / Next.js

Backend/Database: Firebase / Google Cloud Functions

Storage: IPFS (for metadata)

Artisan Dashboard: Track earnings, total sales, and active tokens in real-time.

QR-Code Integration: Physical products include a QR code that links directly to the digital proof of authenticity.
