Product Features
1.What is the difference between SMARTHOLDER CONTAINER and Conventional Digital Signage? SMARTHOLDER CONTAINER is not just digital signage; it's a smart device capable of storing digital art, essentially functioning as a hardware wallet*. In contrast to typical digital signage, which solely offers display functionality, SMARTHOLDER CONTAINER is equipped with a chip featuring financial-grade secure storage capabilities. This allows users to not only store digital art pieces on the device but also physically exhibit the artwork in real spaces. The main screen of the device showcases the artwork, while the sub-screen located at the bottom right simultaneously displays the electronic signature (Token ID) of the artwork, providing assurance of its authenticity and uniqueness. *A hardware wallet is a device used for managing cryptocurrency.
2.What does "a SMARTHOLDR Container is the artwork itself" mean? SMARTHOLDER CONTAINER is not merely projecting artworks, but rather, the artwork and the device are seamlessly integrated.
3.Can I project my own images/ artworks? SMARTHOLDER CONTAINER features artworks generated on the blockchain and displays artworks stored on the device, thus does not allow projecting your own images/artworks like conventional display devices.
4.Is it easy to use without knowledge of Wallets or blockchain? If you purchase a SMARTHOLDER CONTAINER with integrated artwork(s), you can use it easily since the artwork(s) is already stored on the device. Plus, even if you're not familiar with Wallets or blockchain, the device supports easy secondary transactions.
5. What file formats does SMARTHOLDER CONTAINER support? In general, images are compatible with all formats, while videos are available in the MP4 format.
Security
1. How is the security of SMARTHOLDER CONTAINER ensured as a hardware Wallet? Security is guaranteed by utilizing a financial-grade crypto chip that is difficult to crack. Additionally, the adoption of multi-signature technology during transactions enhances security by binding them to the user's Wallet. *Multi-signature: In the world of cryptocurrencies, this refers to a condition that requires multiple digital signatures for the transfer of assets.
2.Can SMARTHOLDER CONTAINER be bound to multiple Wallets? One device can only be bound to one Wallet. Note: When binding, be cautious not to expose the displayed QR code to others, as there is a potential risk of theft of your artworks or assets if it is scanned and bound by someone else.
3.What should I do if SMARTHOLDER CONTAINER malfunctions? Within 5 years from the date of purchase, we offer free repair or replacement in the event of device faults, excluding malfunctions caused by improper use or unauthorized repair/modification. For more details, please refer to the Product Instruction Manual on the support page (only available in Japanese) located at the top of this page.
4.What should I do if SMARTHOLDER CONTAINER is stolen? Similar to when a wallet, cell phone, or valuables are stolen, if the device is stolen, it means both the device and the inside stored assets are stolen. While attempting to trace the flow of artworks (assets) using blockchain technology is possible, recovering them is extremely challenging. Therefore, exercise caution in storing the device securely.
