In a bold move, Casio, the renowned electronics giant, has entered the world of NFTs with its iconic G-Shock watch. They’ve introduced ‘VIRTUAL G-SHOCK,’ an innovative community-based program designed to foster co-creation and interaction among enthusiasts. This groundbreaking initiative seeks to unite people in one dynamic space where they can connect, collaborate, and embark on exciting adventures, all while crafting new stories hand-in-hand with G-SHOCK.
To access VIRTUAL G-SHOCK, head over to Discord and secure one of the 15,000 G-SHOCK creator passes available for free on the Polygon blockchain since September 26th. CASIO ID members are in for a treat with advance distribution, starting on September 23rd. You can find a step-by-step guide on how to mint your pass via the provided link. As a member, you’ll enjoy a plethora of perks, including participation in a variety of experiential projects.
Takahashi Oh, senior general manager of Casio’s timepiece division, envisions a metaverse where avatars sport wristwatches and G-Shocks, mirroring the real world. To achieve this vision, they aim to cultivate virtual fans through co-creation and collaboration within the Virtual G-Shock community. Active participation comes with rewards, with privileges increasing based on activity levels, including priority access to new projects and NFT purchases.
Casio invites community members to participate in the G-SHOCK Creator Pass Color Design Contest, offering a unique opportunity to influence pass design elements such as colors, materials, and patterns. The winning design will become the official look of the G-SHOCK Creator Pass, making it a truly community-inspired creation.
Casio's Virtual G-Shock is a bridge to the metaverse, where imagination knows no bounds. Join us on this journey of co-creation and adventure, where wristwatches become symbols of virtual friendship.
The next stages of the VIRTUAL G-SHOCK program involve community members collaborating with each other to design wearable accessories alongside the company. Additionally, the release and sale of 3D model G-SHOCK NFTs (tentatively named) are scheduled for December, promising an array of new and meaningful experiences for the entire community.
