    Token 2049 Attendees Can Collect DOTphin Proof of Presence Digital Avatars and Contribute to Real-World Environmental Impact

     Sovereign Nature Initiative (SNI) has joined forces with Unique Network and WalletConnect to launch DOTphin, an innovative Polkadot NFT project for attendees of Token 2049 in Singapore. Attendees are invited to visit the Polkadot booth (Booth #P34 and 42, located on level 5 of the Marina Bay Sands Convention Center) and collect their Proof of Presence (PoP) and begin their journey with DOTphin avatars which evolve through user interaction and contribute to real-world marine conservation efforts.

    By participating in the DOTphin experience, Token 2049 attendees can collect a PoP, unlocking stages in the avatar’s evolution, which is influenced by ecological data from SNI’s marine conservation partner, Aquasearch. This innovative fusion of blockchain and ecological impact empowers users to play a role in preserving marine life while engaging with cutting-edge technology.

    Catherine Bischoff, CEO of SNI shared, “Our goal at Sovereign Nature Initiative is to rethink the economics of biodiversity conservation and restoration. Through DOTphin, we have pioneered a groundbreaking approach to merge community engagement and the protection of our natural world by connecting digital collectibles with living entities. We add meaning to virtual realms by distributing dynamic assets that are verifiably making real world impact.”

    To claim PoPs or other Proofs, users can visit the SNI Website or scan QR codes encountered at events. This will direct attendees to the claim process, which involves logging into an account. For those without an account, it can be created easily using an email address, social profiles, or digital wallets. The process is designed for simplicity and efficiency, making it easy to manage and claim Proofs.

    Once PoPs are collected, the next step is evolving the DOTphin. This can be done by visiting the REAL Evolution page on the REAL portal. The same sign-in credentials used to claim Proofs are required to connect the account. The evolution process begins with the acquisition of the primordial “orbo”, which acts as the starting point; once hatched, it marks the commencement of the DOTphin’s evolution.

    To evolve the DOTphin, other collected PoPs and Proofs are utilized. On the REAL Evolution page, select the evolve option, choose the Proofs to be applied, and the DOTphin will develop accordingly. Each Proof influences the characteristics of the DOTphin, making it a personalized representation of individual engagement and achievements. The selected Proofs will shape the DOTphin’s evolution, creating a unique avatar.

    The DOTphin avatar aesthetic is heavily influenced by the artistic style seen in Japanese anime. This design decision creates a significant and relatable connection between the general audience and the digital companion and promotes the idea of caring for an object as it evolves over time. The acclaimed designer behind the art is Daria Smakhtina, from Ephemera One.
