Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart), a global partner of the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023, is taking innovation to the next level by introducing a groundbreaking initiative that allows subscribers to engage with sports history like never before.
The telecom giant is launching its rendition of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) named “Shinys,” giving fans an opportunity to own exclusive digital collectibles and win thrilling prizes.
In a first-of-its-kind move in the Philippines, Smart is rolling out FREE Shinys, captivating digital collectibles highlighting the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 mascot, JIP. Each Shinys token, meticulously crafted to resonate with sports enthusiasts, doubles as a raffle entry for enticing rewards.
The Rewards Await
With every minted Shiny, subscribers are automatically entered into a raffle draw, giving them a chance to secure a coveted FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 Finals Pass. This incredible pass promises an unparalleled live experience of witnessing the pinnacle of basketball competition. Additionally, subscribers can win Gilas Art Prints, envisioned by renowned artist and basketball advocate Mike Swift, who captured global attention with his poignant Kobe and Gianna Bryant tribute artwork.
Smart also has a trove of limited-edition prizes on offer, including exclusive Smart and Gilas shirts and Gilas-themed Smart Prepaid load cards, making it a celebration for basketball enthusiasts.
Acquiring Your Shiny NFTs
Smart has also made it easy for subscribers to get their hands on these exclusive Shinys. Starting August 25, subscribers can obtain a FREE Gilas Shiny every day at Smart Booths located at key venues: the Philippine Arena in Bulacan, Smart-Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City, and the SM Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City. By connecting to Smart’s mobile internet, scanning the QR code, and filling out a simple form on the YEY Platform powered by BlockchainSpace Asia, subscribers can swiftly mint their Shinys. Each QR code is valid for the respective day, ensuring a seamless and exciting experience for fans.
