Crypto art is limited-edition digital art, cryptographically registered with a token on a blockchain. Tokens represent a transparent, auditable origin and provenance for a piece of digital art. Blockchain technologies allow tokens to be held and securely traded without the involvement of third parties. Crypto art draws its origins from conceptual art: sharing the immaterial and distributive nature of artworks, the tight blending of artworks with currency, and the rejection of conventional art markets and institutions. The authors propose a collection of viewpoints on crypto art from different actors of the system: artists, collectors, galleries, art historians and data scientists. A set of emerging themes and open challenges surfaces.

加密艺术：去中心化的观点

加密艺术是限量版数字艺术，在区块链上使用代币进行加密注册。代币代表了一件数字艺术的透明、可审计的起源和出处。区块链技术允许在没有第三方参与的情况下持有和安全交易代币。加密艺术起源于概念艺术：分享艺术品的非物质性和分配性，艺术品与货币的紧密融合，以及对传统艺术市场和机构的排斥。作者提出了一系列来自系统不同参与者的关于加密艺术的观点：艺术家、收藏家、画廊、艺术史学家和数据科学家。一系列新兴主题和开放挑战浮出水面。
