Visitors to TOKEN2049 in Singapore will have the chance to collect digital avatars through the DOTphin project, a collaboration between the Sovereign Nature Initiative (SNI), Unique Network, and WalletConnect.
Attendees at the Polkadot booth can claim Proof of Presence (PoP) tokens, which unlock stages in the evolution of their DOTphin avatars. These unique digital collectibles are influenced by real-time ecological data and linked to marine conservation efforts.
DOTphin, powered by dynamic NFTs, aims to enhance event engagement while driving ecological impact, transforming participation into an interactive experience. Supported by the Polkadot community via OpenGov, the project debuted at Polkadot Decoded 2024.
The initiative blends blockchain technology with environmental conservation, enabling users to engage with NFTs while supporting real-world ecological efforts. By interacting with their DOTphin avatars, participants contribute to marine preservation through data provided by SNI’s partner, Aquasearch.
Catherine Bischoff, CEO of SNI, stated, “Through DOTphin, we have pioneered a groundbreaking approach to merge community engagement and the protection of our natural world by connecting digital collectibles with living entities. We add meaning to virtual realms by distributing dynamic assets that are verifiably making real-world impact.”
Attendees can claim their avatars by visiting the SNI website or scanning QR codes at the event. Avatars can evolve through the REAL portal, where collected PoPs influence their growth and appearance.
The avatars feature designs inspired by Japanese anime, fostering a deeper connection between users and their digital companions.
Polkadot Decoded Asia was held on September 16-17, 2024, during TOKEN2049 Week in Singapore, showcasing the Polkadot ecosystem and key developments in the Web 3.0 space.
Despite market challenges, developer activity in the Polkadot ecosystem remains robust, with 29,917 repositories and over 5,500 weekly commits. Around 900 developers actively contribute each week, maintaining the network’s strong momentum.
