Introduction to MughalTreasures
MughalTreasures is Pakistan’s first digital collectibles e-commerce platform centered on the artistic heritage of the Mughal Empire, leveraging blockchain technology to enable the digital inheritance and innovation of traditional art. The platform focuses on cultural symbols of the Mughal Dynasty, including miniature paintings, architectural decorations, and royal court costume patterns, transforming them into collectible digital assets. By integrating AR/VR interactions, virtual exhibitions, and other technologies, it builds a "digital+physical" dual-scenario cultural consumption ecosystem. Committed to strict compliance with Pakistani laws, the platform uses alliance blockchain technology (such as AntChain) to ensure the uniqueness, traceability, and copyright protection of collectibles, avoiding financial speculation and striving to become a bridge connecting historical civilization and the digital future.
Mission and Positioning
Founded by a team of technology and art professionals passionate about Pakistani culture, MughalTreasures aims to activate the modern vitality of Mughal art through blockchain technology. Our mission is:
Cultural Heritage Preservation: Reconstruct the essence of Mughal art through digital technology, making millennial civilizations accessible to a global audience via interactive digital collectibles.
Technological Empowerment: Use blockchain, AR/VR, and other technologies to achieve permanent certification and dynamic display of cultural heritage, promoting the creative transformation of traditional art.
Compliant Innovation: Explore a compliant operational model for digital collectibles within Pakistan’s legal framework, creating a "de-financialized" cultural value platform.
Community Co-creation: Connect artists, collectors, cultural institutions, and commercial brands to build a sustainable digital cultural ecosystem.
Core Features and Functions
Digital Art Transformation and Dynamic Presentation
The platform collaborates with the National Museum of Pakistan and independent artists to conduct high-precision 3D scanning and dynamic reconstruction of Mughal miniature paintings, architectural carvings, and other artifacts. For example, users can use AR technology to view 360° dynamic displays of Gandhara Buddha statues on their mobile phones or wear digitally reproduced Mughal court costumes in metaverse social scenarios.
Blockchain Technology Assurance
Using alliance blockchain technologies like AntChain, each digital collectible is assigned a unique blockchain certificate recording the entire process of creation, issuance, and circulation to ensure transparent copyright attribution. Holders can transfer collectibles or receive royalties from secondary creations through smart contracts, with creators guaranteed a revenue share of no less than 50%.
Integration with Physical Rights
Selected digital collectibles are linked to physical benefits, such as redeeming a virtual "Mughal Garden" collectible for an offline guided tour of Lahore’s Shalimar Gardens or gaining priority access to physical art exhibitions, enabling deep integration of virtual and real scenarios.
Educational and Interactive Experiences
The platform features a "Mughal Art Academy" section offering virtual courses, artist interviews, and cultural lectures, where users can unlock limited-edition digital collectibles through learning. Regular "Digital Art Creation Contests" are held to encourage users to create secondary works based on Mughal elements, with outstanding entries receiving official certification and commercial distribution opportunities.
Compliance and Social Responsibility
Legal Compliance
The platform strictly adheres to the Pakistan Trademark Ordinance and relevant regulations on digital assets, having completed trademark registration for "MughalTreasures" in Class 9 (computer software) and Class 41 (online art services). All digital collectibles are issued with written authorization from artists or copyright holders and filed with the Pakistan Intellectual Property Organization (IPO).
Cultural Sensitivity
Religious sensitive symbols are avoided, with a focus on secular cultural elements (e.g., architecture, costumes, natural patterns) to ensure content complies with local social norms. Collaboration with Islamic finance experts explores Sharia-compliant digital collectible issuance models, such as profit-sharing smart contracts as an alternative to traditional financial transactions.
Sustainability
Low-energy alliance blockchain technology is used, with carbon emissions less than 1% of overseas NFTs. 5% of transaction proceeds are donated to the Pakistan Cultural Heritage Protection Fund for the restoration of Mughal-era architectural sites and artworks.
Partners and Technical Support
Cultural Institutions: Strategic partnerships with the National Museum of Pakistan and Lahore Museum to exclusively issue officially certified digital collectibles, such as 3D digital models of the Badshahi Mosque and virtual tour tickets for Jahangir’s Tomb.
Technical Partners: Collaborations with AntChain and Huawei Cloud ensure platform stability and data security. IPFS distributed storage technology is used to guarantee permanent accessibility of digital collectibles.
Legal Team: A compliance team led by Pakistani intellectual property lawyer Farheen Ahmed provides full-process legal services, including trademark registration, copyright agreements, and tax planning.
Vision and Future
MughalTreasures strives to become a global calling card for Pakistani digital culture, rejuvenating Mughal art in the digital age through technological innovation and cultural storytelling. In the future, we will expand cross-chain interoperability to enable free circulation of digital collectibles across platforms, explore a "digital collectibles+cultural tourism" model to promote international dissemination of Pakistan’s cultural heritage, and lower creative barriers through AI tools to build a participatory digital art ecosystem for all.
