What is Optic?

Optic is developing an AI engine that processes the millions of new NFTs minted each day and compares the works to existing NFT collections.

Optic looks for visually similarities, including flipped images, color changes or slight distortions or fuzziness. The monitoring tool informs marketplaces, brands or media companies about potential intellectual property violations. Platform displays a percentage for how much the token matches existing NFT collections with a higher number representing the closest match and the most likely instance of an outright counterfeit. 

Optic’s Marketplace Moderation tool is currently used by NFT giant OpenSea as part of the company's efforts to crack down on fraud.
