# Buyout Mechanism: Closing the Loop

Token holders can vote to sell an asset or trigger redemption if one party accumulates 100% of the supply. If a buyout happens, smart contracts release the asset from custody and distribute sale proceeds to token holders automatically.

This gives every holder a clear exit path—whether through a group sale or full redemption. The system closes the loop: from physical to digital, and back again.

**A Smarter Way to Own Cultural Capital**

LiveArt’s tokenization ecosystem blends the physical and digital—making culture liquid, programmable, and accessible.

**A Picasso doesn’t just sit in a vault…**

* It moves **onchain**.
* It earns **yield**.
* It responds to the market.
* And when the time is right—it can sell.

That’s the power of tokenized cultural assets. That’s the LiveArt protocol.
