Digital art should outlast the platform it was sold on. Anchor stores your artworks locally and keeps them available on IPFS and Arweave, so they don’t disappear when a platform does.
Add a wallet address and Anchor finds the images, video and code behind each token, on Ethereum, other EVM chains and Tezos.
Your artworks are stored on a device you own and kept available on IPFS. Works that live on Arweave are cached too.
For every work, Anchor shows how many other places hold it, so you can see which pieces depend on a single host.
Anchor is free to use and its code is open for anyone to read, run and improve. There is no account and no subscription.
The beta version is on our GitLab page and is currently being tested.
A first group of collectors and artists runs Anchor on their own computers and tells us what breaks.
The first NFT collections that lost their files have been flagged and restored through Anchor.
Artists run their own Anchor and choose which works to keep. Their selection is public, so other nodes can help hold the work.
Ready-made devices you plug in and forget. First a hard disk with Anchor already installed, then a small computer that runs day and night.
A neutral home for Anchor, with museums, universities, collectors and others at the table, so no single company or chain controls it.
Plans change as we learn from testers.

Anchor stays free because people chip in. Donations pay for testing, hardware trials and the work of making installation simple.
