Computer scientist Adel Khelifi, of the University of Abu Dhabi, and archaeologist Mark Altaweel, from University College London, recently announced the development of a Web3-based verification-as-a-service model for determining and recording the authenticity and provenance of cultural artifacts.

Called Salsal, the big idea behind the service is to bridge the world of historical artifacts with an on-chain validation system that can’t be fudged or cloned.

Prior to Salsal, project co-leads Altaweel and Khelifi worked together on research using AI to identify looting at historically significant sites. Source: Altaweel, et al
