Okamoto officially announced his entry into the Metaverse on April 11, 2022. It will be Okamoto’s first collection of NFTs, or non-fungible tokens – essentially, digital collectibles with proven authenticity. NFTs act as a blockchain-based certificate of ownership, allowing pieces to be authenticated, bought and collected.
NFTs have been a hot topic since early 2021, when a Beeple NFT sold at auction at Christie’s for a record-breaking $69 million.
Many brands have expressed a strong interest in this field, and Okamoto is also close behind them, as Japan’s largest producer of rubber latex products also wants to catch up with this trend. At press time, the price and the launch date had yet to be determined.
The key to unleashing the Metaverse lies in authentic and genuine socializing experiences. It is said that Okamoto NFT is not simply a provably-rare piece of art, this grants access to members-only benefits and witnesses your metaverse romance. Exclusive benefits and offerings will be unlocked for Okamoto NFT holders after launch.
True to Okamoto’s slogan (“Science Delivers Better Living”), they positioned the launch as a way to engage with fans and join the “the forefront of creativity and technology”. Okamoto plans to build the utility of its NFTs to offer perks for its community over time and fill in the missing piece of the metaverse — love and romance.
This is also considered a way for Okamoto Company to respond to Japan’s web3.0 reform. The Japanese government’s NFT working group is advising the government to hire a “web3 minister,” it is a sign that Japan wants to step up its operations in this upcoming field.
