A Web3 Token for Art Exchange
Artum (ARTUM) is a fixed-supply ERC-20 token built on Polygon, created to serve as a medium of exchange within the Web3 art ecosystem — connecting digital artists, collectors, and creative platforms. Artum is not limited to NFTs: it is designed to support the exchange of artworks and creative work more broadly, from commissions and digital pieces to services and collaborations between artists and buyers.
Today, artists and collectors operating in Web3 rely on general-purpose assets (ETH, USDC, or platform-specific credits) that carry no identity tied to the art community itself, and often come with high fees on networks other than Polygon. Artum addresses this by offering:
| Name | Artum |
|---|---|
| Symbol | ARTUM |
| Network | Polygon Mainnet (EVM-compatible) |
| Token Standard | ERC-20 |
| Total Supply | 10,000 ARTUM (fixed) |
| Decimals | 18 |
| Minting | Disabled permanently after initial deployment mint |
| Burning | Enabled — any holder may burn their own tokens |
| Transfer Fees | None |
| Blacklist / Pause | None — contract cannot freeze or block any wallet |
The Artum smart contract follows a minimal, transparent design intended to build trust with holders:
This design intentionally excludes the mechanisms most associated with malicious or high-risk tokens (fee-on-transfer, rebasing, blacklisting, unlimited minting), so that liquidity providers and holders can evaluate the contract's behavior with confidence.
