The NFTs backed by redeemable real-world physical assets. Phygital. The term was coined by an Australian agency called Momentum back in 2013. Not the brightest term ever coined. Still, live with it.

🎨 What are they?

They bridge the gap - you can own a piece of the virtual world while still having a tangible, real-world product to show off to your friends.Β You can buy and sell real-world physical goods and experiences.

So, you're at a carnival and you want to play a game. You pay for your game by scanning a QR code on your phone (digital), but the prize you win is a stuffed animal (physical). That's a phygital experience!

Now, let's talk about phygital NFTs - it's like buying an NFT ticket to a concert, but instead of just getting access to the concert online / offline or both, you also get a limited edition print of concert t-shirt mailed to you as a souvenir.Β 

This means that the brick-and-mortar businesses can use them to engage with customers in new ways. Unlike other NFTs that rely on specific blockchain platforms, phygital NFTs can be blockchain agnostic and focus on the brand that people feel an affinity to. When people collect phygital NFTs, they start to identify themselves as part of a community. This community can increase customer retention for the business by creating a loyal customer base.

πŸ‘Ύ How do they work?

Phygital NFTs have three key components, identical to conventional NFTs.

Issuers: The creators who issue NFTs. The NFT is linked to both the digital and physical asset. It's proof of ownership and is transferred to the buyer.

Holders: The buyers who can sell the NFT bought from the creators, in secondary sales. Transfer ownership of both digital and physical asset.

Platforms: Third party that verifies the ownership of the NFT, and helps distribution - sale of NFTs for both primary and secondary sales.

It helps combat counterfeit products, so you know you're getting the real deal.

Authenticity: You can trace the ownership history all the way back to the original issuer - the creator.

Trust: Build trust by verifying the ownership on the platforms and secure blockchain based transactions.

πŸ€” Are they the future?

Classic PFP NFT, the undisputed king of the NFT world vs. Upstart phygital NFT ready to take the throne with its unique blend of digital and physical features.Β Which one is better?

Depends on what you're trying to accomplish. Looking for a straightforward way to prove ownership of a digital asset? Get a regular NFT.
