Mona Lisa on the Blockchain

In a self-described ''prank'', Edent used the Verisart Blockchain to claim that he painted the Mona Lisa[40][41]. As has been noted by several academics publications, this undermines tackling art theft using BlockChain[42], demonstrates that it is impossible to trust the provenance of NFTs[43], makes it difficult to assess the usefulness of digital certificates[44], and weakens the arguments for other uses of IP on the Blockchain[45].
