• Increases trust in the platform through secure and verified transactions.

• Promotes the use of NFTs within the ecosystem, driving further adoption and interaction.

I read now twice this idea and still do not undertsand what a “physical reward claim platform” means.
Can you develop and also clarify problem statement.

Many IP’s and creators on The Sandbox provides physical rewards such as merchandises, tickets for various events, movie tickets, t-shirts, caps etc for their Avatar / NFT holders to promote the collection. At the moment we do not have an established process to do it which is easier for both the IP/Creator and the player. BharatBox is proposing to create a dedicated webpage/platform which can be utilized by TSB and creators to distribute such any kind of rewards to the NFT holders. The platform checks the true ownership of the NFT when a user tries to claim a reward and also prevents the users from claiming multiple times with the same NFT.

Ok, too me this looks like more like a proposal that solve the problem of a downstream process (logistic of reward). I would rather see this manage by the partner as they decided to go that direction. For me the money should be kept to developp the product TSB and increase of players/creators pool. Eg: When I participated in Shin Tae-yong event they were able to connect with me for physical reward without difficulty. But happy to change my mind if other creators/partners are expressing different opinions
