AELIG Secures Patent for Blockchain-Integrated E-Ink Digital Frame

At AELIG, we believe that art should be experienced with depth, and ownership should mean something. That’s why we’ve designed a digital frame that’s not just a screen, but a native extension of the blockchain.

We’re proud to announce that we’ve been granted a European and International patent (Publication as WO2024188886A1) for our e-paper frame technology, which allows collectors to display their NFT art with guaranteed authenticity, even offline.

Most frames simply show an image. Ours verifies the NFT artwork on-chain and ensures that what you see is what you truly own. This is a game-changer for digital artists, collectors, and galleries looking to showcase NFT digital art in a timeless, tamper-proof, and elegant way using e-paper technology.

Unlike traditional screens, our patented solution leverages low-energy E Ink technology to ensure permanence, clarity, and minimal environmental impact. The integration with the blockchain happens at the device level: the frame independently certifies authenticity and ownership, ensuring that only the true owner of the NFT digital art can display it. With no cable and no workaround.

How does it work, technically?

AELIG frames are equipped with a secure embedded system that directly connects to public blockchain networks like Ethereum or Tezos. Thanks to a custom-designed lightweight and fully decentralized verification protocol, the frame embeds a NFC chip that validates token ownership linking the artwork and frame metadata directly on-chain. This means that the digital frame to display NFT art requires no other intervention to prove authenticity.
