Family art NFTs: keep and sell your children's art safely

1 min read · Updated 2026-10-30

Children make a lot of art, and most of it ends up in a box. ChainChum lets parents keep all of it in a private Art Vault, sell the favourites in a Family art section and give each sold piece an NFT certificate that records it forever.

ChainChum is for adults only. The parent is the seller, and the child never has an account.

How it works for families

  1. Snap every piece into your private Art Vault. Nothing there is public.
  2. Pick favourites to sell and tag them Family art. You can say "painted by my 7-year-old", but never the child's name, photo or birth date.
  3. Certify it when you publish. ChainChum mints the drawing's NFT certificate, a permanent, verifiable record of the work. The one-time $1 certificate fee comes out of its first sale.
  4. Buyers pay by card, often grandparents and family friends, and you receive 95%. The certificate transfers to them with the piece.

Rolling out: the Art Vault and family listings are live today. Checkout and NFT certificates switch on with the first pilot sales.

Safety rules we never bend

  • No child accounts, profiles or data.
  • No child names, faces or birth dates in listings, photos or certificates.
  • Reviewers remove any listing that breaks these rules.

The full policy is in Family art and safety.

Questions

Is it safe to make an NFT of my child's drawing?

The NFT records the artwork, the parent's shop and the sale, never the child's identity. That is the same information a family art listing already shows, and nothing more.

Can my child sell their own art?

No. ChainChum is for adults 18 and older. A parent or guardian lists and sells the work as themselves.
