The platform was created in partnership with OnePercent and will offset the carbon footprint of minting non-fungible tokens.
Volkswagen, in partnership with OnePercent, created a platform of NFTs, called Digital Garage VW.
The platform will feature exclusive digital content for the public, with series involving Volkswagen cars and collectible packs.
“OnePercent has a trajectory marked by participating in disruptive projects for the market, and this partnership with Volkswagen reinforces our positioning of creating bridges for people and companies when joining the web3”, highlighted Fausto Vanin, co-founder of the startup, who will be responsible for the process of “mining” the non-fungible tokens.
The novelty was released this Monday (11), during a live held on Volkswagen’s Youtube channel. “We are launching more than 60 digital cards representing renowned models and Volkswagen icons,” said Ciro Possobom, COO of Volkswagen Brazil and Vice President of Finance and IT for Brazil and the SAM Region.
The platform created by OnePercent will offset the carbon footprint of minting the tokens, in addition to allowing payments to be made by credit card, pix and cryptocurrencies.
According to Vanin, the minting of the NFTs will be done by the Polygon network due to the consensus model called proof of stake (PoS), which is more favorable to the environment and is supported by the security of the Etherum network.
Developed by VW Design Studio, the NFTs will be available in packs with three random options, but will also have the option of packs with five cards, increasing the chances of acquiring rarer items.
“We are excited to have the OnePercent NFTs marketplace making it easier to use the tokens in different contexts such as the automotive sector. This project helps us make blockchain even more democratic”, concluded Fausto Vanin.
