Pin Club Tokenized NFTs

Pin Club launched in 2021 on Solana. It was designed to be a tokenized NFT where owners of a Pin Club NFT would receive a physical pin of their NFT with an NFC chip embedded. The Pin World location-based app allowed pin owners to complete tasks in the real world to earn tokens that could be spent at Solana Pay merchants.

Pin World location based app. User holds their phone against the physical pin to 'check in' to their location.

Pin World was a gamification layer on top of the real world. Users earned points that converted into tokens. Tokenomics were designed to convert tokens into USDC during transactions at Solana Pay merchants.

Pin World had hidden easter eggs 😉

In-app easter eggs were really partnership opportunities where we could create additional revenue streams and give brands access to the web3 audience.
