Art theft in Web3 is a problem. When DeviantArt Protect launched last year, it kicked off our serious commitment to combating art theft. Now we’re continuing that undertaking by tackling the root of the problem. Here’s what we’re doing next. A while back, we posted about the challenges of Web3 and how it’s not delivering on its promise. We asked for your feedback, and many artists agreed: art theft is a major problem.

Many artists are even bombarded with mass infringements
