NBA Top Shot collectibles can now be purchased from vending machines across Japan, thanks to a partnership with Web3 marketing firm 24karat. Fans can access AIICO smart vending machines located in train stations and shopping areas from Hokkaido to Okinawa, allowing them to add Top Shot NFT moments on the Flow blockchain to their collections using their mobile devices. Flow Chief Architect Dieter Shirley expressed excitement about merging digital and physical ownership, particularly in Tokyo, where vending machines are culturally significant. Users can buy packs without needing crypto knowledge; they simply scan a QR code to create a Flow wallet and complete their purchase via credit card or mobile payment options like Apple Pay. Initially, users can buy a mystery box from the “Climb: Chance Hit Mini” pack for 1,000 yen (about $6.70). Future plans may include crypto payments and gamified experiences, with 24karat aiming to enhance accessibility for all users. Read more AI-generated news on: https://app.chaingpt.org/news
