The print is only one part of what an RFT is.
A fine art print gives a collector a physical expression of a photograph.
A Real Fungible Token can give the collector substantially more.
The finished print is part of the RFT. It is joined by the singular physical master, documented provenance, defined transferable rights and a continuing record of ownership.
The print can be reproduced. The complete RFT cannot.
That scarcity creates an entirely different ownership proposition.

A collector who acquires a print owns that physical print.
A collector who acquires a Real Fungible Token can acquire something fundamentally different: the finished work together with the singular physical master from which the photograph originates.
The RFT can also establish documented provenance, defined economic rights, conditions governing reproduction and licensing, and a record that follows the work through future transfers.
The photograph remains the art.
What changes is what is owned with the print.
The singular physical source. An original negative, transparency or other qualifying photographic master that cannot be duplicated as another original.
A finished photographic print representing the work as the creator intended it to be seen.
Defined rights associated with the work, including the economic rights specifically conveyed by the transfer agreement.
Real Fungible Token is not a replacement for galleries, dealers, advisors, auction houses or other established participants in the photographic art market.
It creates another way for exceptional photographic works to be represented, transferred and collected.
A qualifying work can combine the photograph, its singular physical master, documented provenance and defined transferable rights into one ownership structure.
Only the creator can mint a Real Fungible Token.
That distinction matters.
The creator establishes the RFT. You bring it to the collector.
For galleries, dealers, advisors and other art professionals, this creates an opportunity to offer something beyond another print while preserving the relationships you have built with creators, collectors and the professionals who serve them.
Creators do not compete for your collector.
They create the work and mint the RFT.
You create the opportunity for collectors and participate in the value that creates.
Collectors want meaningful ownership.
Creators want to be adequately compensated for exceptional work and to participate when that work succeeds in the future.
Galleries, dealers and advisors want to create greater value from the photographic works they represent.
Those interests do not have to compete.
A Real Fungible Token creates a vehicle through which they can come together.
The collector can acquire the work, its singular physical master and the defined rights conveyed with it.
The creator can receive appropriate compensation at the original transfer and retain participation in qualifying future transfers.
The art professional can offer a substantially different ownership proposition and participate in the additional value created by the transaction.
RealFungibleToken.org exists to establish the contractual structure through which those interests can be aligned.
