Aura Blockchain Consortium Operation 

The nonprofit initiative sets the standard for luxury brands’ digital transformation by offering blockchain solutions to its members. The rivals Cartier, Prada, and LV formed the consortium Aura to leverage shared blockchain solutions for the luxury brands in 2021. 

The consortium comprises more than twenty-five brands, which helps them cruise seamlessly from the manufacturer to the direct consumer. Aura provides authentification functionality to all its members, Saas and NFT minting on a blockchain compatible with Ethereum, advancing their customer experience to unimaginable levels. 

Some popular use cases of a Saas solution include a Christian Dior token-based sneakers collection where the shoe owners could collect their shoes’ authenticity certificate and learn about the manufacturing process. Louis Vuitton also applied Auras NFT mint service via Treasure Trunks.

Aura Consortium recently partnered with Coinhouse, a digital asset solutions provider, to broaden its services to its members by offering digital currency solutions that would enable an automated conversion of crypto to Euros. The consortium can now, through this partnership, support its member company’s wallets by executing a know-your-transaction analysis to counter money laundering. 

Regardless of the NFT and blockchain community’s challenges, the consortium has pursued its vision for a luxury blockchain. The former CEO stated that they had already implemented their plan to leverage blockchain technology’s immutability to help luxury brands combat counterfeit products and track their products by logging in millions of products and issuing digital replicas along with their physical products to ensure authenticity. 

Member brands have previously stated that they would add information on the brand’s heritage, enabling them to tell a story of their products to their customers. Aura is open to all brands, stating that it would be much more beneficial when all stakeholders get a standardized operation system.
