How Another-1 is using NFC technology to Realize a New Fashion Reality
We are trying to revolutionize the fashion industry by bridging the gap between the digital and physical worlds. We believe that by fostering collaboration between the design, production, and adoption of premium phygital fashion products, we can make cutting-edge fashion accessible anywhere.
Our goal is to create a truly immersive and interactive experience by utilizing the latest and most advanced technology, including blockchain, Web3, Metaverse, and NFC. We aim to push the boundaries of what is possible in the fashion industry and create new and exciting opportunities for industry professionals and consumers.
We understand that the fashion industry can be exclusive and elitist, so we are dedicated to democratizing access to premium phygital fashion products. Everyone should have the opportunity to experience the latest in fashion technology and design, regardless of location or economic situation.
Our NFC / NFT ecosystem
Another-1 fashion items are equipped with unique NFC chips. NFC (near-field communication) are small chips that contain data that links the physical garment to an NFT. NFTs contain information about the item’s history, place of manufacture, authenticity, and ownership certificate, all verified by the blockchain.
These digitally enabled items represent a new way for brands to connect with consumers, providing connectivity and real-world benefits. We have created mobile apps/ scanners that can detect NFC/ NFT clothing worn by retail and therefore offer them rewards that are not possible in traditional fashion. For example:
- Token rewards for users that scan/ collect NFC clothing
- Gated access to IRL events/ communities
- Metaverse access, whereby your metaverse asset will wear the clothing digital twin
This takes the experience of fashion and fashion collection to a new immersive experience.
Using the most advanced NFC technology
We understand that not all NFC tags are created equal, so we have chosen to use more advanced technology, the authentication NFC tags, to ensure optimal authenticity and traceability of our products.
Unlike standard static tags, our authentication NFC tags work differently, using the sophisticated NTAG424 product as a key to generating a unique code on each scan. This unique code can be verified on our servers, providing high confidence in the authenticity of the item scanned.
This established a secure and complete connection between the physical object and its digital certificate, safeguarding the genuineness of our products. We are committed to providing our customers with the best possible experience, and using these advanced authentication tags is just one of the ways we are making it happen.
Why are brands integrating NFC technology into the Fashion world?
NFC technology is perfect for Metaverse initiatives as it allows for creating distinctive digital assets associated with physical ones and creating new experiences for users. This is one of the reasons why more and more companies are turning to NFC technology. As it grows, we anticipate more companies utilizing NFC technology to bridge the gap between the physical and virtual worlds.
The Future
We are currently in the process of designing and developing a revolutionary new mobile dApp. This cutting-edge technology will allow “hype beasts” to experience the true potential of Web3 by seamlessly connecting their physical items and digital assets in a secure and user-friendly way.
One of the critical features of our dApp is the ability for Another-1 real-world item owners & dApp users to scan corresponding NFC tags to make a “Proof of Collection” or “Proof of Flex.” These actions will be rewarded with Another-1 tokens, which can then be used within the Another-1 ecosystem for various digital and IRL perks.
Our ultimate goal is to create a self-encouraging mechanism using NFC+NFT technology and build a community of hype fashion enthusiasts who can connect and benefit from one another. Furthermore, by designing and developing this DAPP, we aim to empower Another-1 item owners to create and shape their fashion circle “by the owners, for the owners.”
We are working hard to bring this innovative technology to life and can’t wait for you to be a part of it. Stay tuned for more updates on the development of our NATIVE MOBILE DAPP and the exciting opportunities it will bring to the world of hype fashion.
NFC technology offers numerous possibilities in the fashion industry, from pairing digital assets with physical clothing items to creating immersive experiences and customizing, personalizing, and building exclusive events based on linked NFC items. As the fashion industry develops and NFC usage increases, more brands will likely adopt this technology to improve their products and generate new ways for buyers to interact and participate. We intend to be a leader in implementing this technology in Another-1.
