Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) have rapidly changed the crypto economy and art world. One of the larger problems related to NFTs and digital art collecting is the unauthorized usage of another artist’s artwork as the basis for a new NFT. Copyminting refers to stealing the artwork of an NFT on one chain and then minting a new NFT using the stolen artwork on a different chain or even multiple chains.
