What is an NFT?

An NFT is a digital certificate of ownership that acts as a unique identifier which cannot be copied, substituted or subdivided. They are recorded on a blockchain and used as certificates of authenticity as well as ownership. An NFT can be an image, video, sound or any other creative digital form as well as tickets and membership passes.

To enable the universal participation of all Skoda India enthusiasts, the Skodaverse India NFT platform will enable the purchase of NFTs through cryptocurrencies as well as through INR, USD, Euro and other currencies. The platform is built on a sharded, proof-of-stake, layer-one blockchain designed for usability. Each NFT collection will be curated to ensure a high-quality and engaging experience, enabling users to receive unique collectables, unlock exclusive experiences, and forge a deeper bond with the brand.

Mr. Christian Cahn von Seelen, Executive Director, Sales, Marketing and Digital, Škoda Auto Volkswagen India said, “Škodaverse India signifies the brands leap into uncharted digital territory.
