Authenticity and Collectability
NEWAVE faced the challenge of authenticating its products while amplifying their collectability. The brand sought a solution to tokenize each item, ensuring its unique identity and preventing unauthorized claims of digital twins. 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
NFT-Powered Authenticity Assurance
NEWAVE partnered with ZATAP to tokenize each physical item on the blockchain, guaranteeing its authenticity and traceability. 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.
