FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 global partner, Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart), is offering subscribers more opportunities to own a piece of sports history as it launches an exclusive digital collectible, called Shinys, which is its version of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) available at tournament venues.
This marks the first NFT raffle of its kind in the Philippines, featuring FREE Shinys showcasing the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 mascot, JIP.
What’s even more enticing is that each minted Shiny immediately grants subscribers a raffle entry, giving them a chance to win a FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 Finals Pass, as well as Gilas Art Prints created by the renowned artist and basketball advocate, Mike Swift, also known as Mr. Pinoy Hoops. Mike Swift gained worldwide recognition in 2020 for his massive art tribute to Kobe and Gianna Bryant at the Tenement Court in Taguig City.
Additionally, Smart and Gilas shirts, as well as limited-edition Gilas-themed Smart Prepaid load cards, are up for grabs.
