■ Get a NFT with a simple touch
Aiming to give users who have never had NFTs in their hands before an easy way to experience obtaining NFTs, a unit was installed at the SIW venue where NFTs can be obtained by simply touching the unit with a smartphone. The need to actually touch the unit on site is also a measurement to encourage visitors to come to the SIW venue.
The unit is a collaboration with mobile battery sharing company “ChargeSPOT”, and NFTs can be obtained for free by touching the sticker with Callback's developed NFC tag attached to the upper POP of the unit with a smartphone. The NFTs available are randomly selected from four different types.
The NFTs obtained will also be exchangeable for tickets to the “INTERNATIONAL SHIBUYA TOKYO NFT FESTIVAL”, which is scheduled to be held next year.
