Pastel Network is an open-source, decentralized system that allows artists to register "provably rare" assets on a bitcoin-like blockchain. The company is based in New York, NY. The platform enables art collectors to purchase these artworks and "trustlessly" trade them among themselves without reliance on a central authority. The team behind Pastel Network is made up of an entrepreneurial team of developers, creators, marketers, and fund managers. The mission of the team is to develop the underlying infrastructure for a fully decentralized digital art platform to better democratize the digital art world. Pastel has built a secure system that solves the major problems of existing blockchain art projects, including high fees, poor scalability, no internal native network file storage, and no means of preventing near-duplicate images from being registered on the network, which introduces a new standard of digital scarcity for NFTs. The company was founded by Anthony Georgiades, Alexey Kireyev, Jeff Emanuel. Jeff Emanuel has been the CEO since incorporation.
