DeviantArt has developed a suite of tools aimed at protecting artists in the Web3 space. It launched DeviantArt Protect in August 2021, a service designed to detect potential unauthorized use of artwork as NFTs. Building on that, it announced the Protect Protocol in June 2022, a permissionless communication standard for sharing information about NFT-related infringements, market manipulation, rigged wallets, and malicious smart contracts. Creators can also link their submissions directly to an NFT using its contract address, blockchain, and token ID.
