How can NFTs revolutionise loyalty and reward programs?
We have already developed applications for exactly this use case. If you want to experience the innovative functionalities of these Web3 applications, you are welcome to visit us at our booth at the Blockchain Expo.
What advice would you give to any companies that are thinking about utlising NFTs but aren’t sure how to get started and make it a success?
Of course, a sensible use of Web3 technology always depends on the individual starting situation of a company or business model and the respective added value that the company wants to offer its customers or achieve within the company. However, it does not hurt any company to take a close look at the technical differentiating features of Web3 compared to Web 2.0 or to have them explained, and to think through potential use cases for its own business model and try them out in a prototype.
What do you think the future holds for Web3, blockchain and NFT technologies?
At KURZ Digital, we are convinced that Web3 technology will very soon make the leap from the experimental phase and the ideas of a “metaverse” to practical application examples for the mainstream. The advantages and differentiation potential of this technology compared to platform-based Web 2.0 solutions still need to be better communicated to the market. As soon as the first practice-oriented Web 3 applications will be successful in the market, the technology will be able to expand rapidly.
