TECHNICAL ARCHITECTURE AT A GLANCE

Core Smart Contracts

1. Exhibition NFT

   • Stores exhibition metadata & provenance

   • Non-transferable

   • Records complete circulation history

2. License Manager

   • Issues time-bounded exhibition licenses

   • Coordinates with payment distribution

   • Foundation control declines to 0% over 10 years

   • Constitutional protections against mission drift

Technology Stack

• Blockchain: Cosmos SDK, CosmWasm

• Storage: IPFS (decentralized, content-addressed)

• Language: CosmWasm/Rust code, Exhibition Module

• Network: Mainnet deployment after multiple audits
