Moreover, NEWAVE aimed to bridge the physical and digital realms seamlessly, offering consumers a novel ownership experience while safeguarding their purchases from fraudulent activities.
Solution

With a unique identity and serial number assigned to every product, NEWAVE empowers consumers to claim ownership securely, unlocking exclusive digital content and privileges. By merging the physical and digital realms, NEWAVE pioneers a new era of phygital authenticity and ownership.
