2. SSG.COM Issues Luxury Authentication Certificates Using GroundX NFTs 👏

A digital certificate will contain product details, purchase history, warranty period, and security-related information.
These certificates by SSG.COM are issued by Klip Partners, the digital card-minting tool developed by GroundX.
