Digital revolution in philatelic. Poczta Polska presents the first cryptoze
Poczta Polska introduced the first cryptors for sale. Traditional philatelic moves to the Internet and also becomes possible online, on blockchain, changing NFT tokens into digital collector's copies. One of the new stamps was designed by artificial intelligence.
The first Polish edition of cryptoze, in four unique scenes, refers to the traditional qualities, introduced into circulation in December 2022. From February 14, they can be purchased at post offices throughout the country. Sales of cryptors also started in the philatelic online store.
- Cryptozek is an expression of attachment to the traditional role of mail and openness to development in the field of NFT, which is successfully used by Polish and foreign organizations, making their offer more attractive. Poczta Polska is a company that is associated most of us with tradition and a rich, nearly five -year history. However, times are changing and we are going with the times. We adapt our activity to the realities of the digitizing world, which is reflected even in the cryptozna project - says Krzysztof Falkowski, president of Poczta Polska.
- We treat the release of cryptors as an innovative element of the promotion of philatelic, especially among people who prefer more modern forms of entertainment. Through our smartphones, we can do more and more daily matters, and thanks to the development of digital collecting - replace, for example, conventional class. We open to younger customers who are watching technological innovations and follow new trends. Huge interest in our project shows that this is a good decision and the right direction of change - adds Wiesław Włodek, vice president of Poczta Polska.
What is cryptoze?
Cryptozek is a traditional sign of the postal fee, which is accompanied by a label with the public address of the portfolio and the phrase of the private portfolio key containing the cryptozna nFT token. Poczta Polska issued 4 categories of cryptors associated with the December emission "Poland in space" and an additional stamp exclusively in the form of a NFT token.
The traditional version of the cryptoze collector can store in the classor, and the digital version - in the cryptoklaser. In the case of a stamp associated with a dedicated paper portfolio, the purchase is no longer associated with any additional transaction costs on the blockchain side.
Interestingly, an additional stamp only in the form of a NFT token was designed for the first time in history by artificial intelligence. The image used for the stamp project is the interpretation of the slogan "Polish scientific satellite exploring space". The cryptoze is depicted by a computer neural network, which is a completely synthetic data processing system, which is modeled on the function of the human brain. In this way, the graphic effect was additionally subjected to human interference for better adaptation to human perception and the form of the stamp.
The collection of the Polish cryptoze also includes digital philatelic thalers, which are a special type of NFT tokens and enable preferential purchase or exchange for the category 5 (NFT) cryptoze.
The physical version of the category 1-4 cryptors can be purchased at selected Poczta Polska outlets and at philatelistyka.poczta-polska.pl , and then the digital version "activate" on nft.poczta-polska.pl/. The digital version of the cryptoze can be purchased at nft.poczta-polska.pl.
The broadcast partners are the Polish Space Agency and the Polish Security Principal. Roch Stefaniak is the author of the design of all stamps prepared on the basis of a graphic designer Bartosz Morawski. The technical solution was designed and implemented in cooperation with Archxs Dariusz Tyszka.
