Kocai Ltd

The Kocai project creates a new contribution model aimed at preserving cultural and social assets. Kocai's platform allows the manager of the asset to be preserved to concretize, and personalize,'what' the donor receives in return for participating in preservation. The individualization of the donation is the result of the development of two operational interactions. The first, the digitization of the asset in 2 / 3D and the subdivision of the digital representation into different and non-fungible parts: each contributor receives, in exchange for the donation,'his part' through an NFT. The second, by granting the donor diversified rights, based on the type of donation, to use the work governed by smart-contracts. The whole process involves that 'never' ownership of the digital representation is transferred. The intent, with reference to the concept of 'donors care' and through the direct connection between donor and work, is to create new value in the restoration campaigns through innovation. The interactions between the adopted technologies, DLT (NFT and blockchain), AI and 2D/3D digitization, also make it possible to automate and make transparent, qualitatively and quantitatively, the preservation action; to offer, along with the images, the historical and social data that complete the work; and to protect, from a developmental perspective, the enjoyment of the asset in the metaverses and VR/MR platforms, being able to regulate its use from the outset.
