VeChain (VET) Collaborates With Bitcoin Movement and Zuby to Create Limited-Edition Merchandise Collection
VeChain (VET) has collaborated with the Bitcoin Movement (BTCMVMNT) and Zubi, to create a limited-edition merchandise collection named “Take the Power Back.”
Details of Each Collection Will Be Stored on VeChainThor blockchain
According to BTCMVMNT, the blockchain-based limited-edition merchandise collection contains 300 items, such as 125 fully branded T-shirts, 125 caps, and 50 hoodies.
The team also pointed out that all the details of each collection will be permanently stored on the VeChainThor blockchain through NFC chips.
The team also revealed that the scarcity of Bitcoin is the inspiration behind the use of number 21 as its design feature, as it is widely known that 21 million BTC can ever be mined.
The BTCMVMNT said:
“BTCMVMNT has developed a bespoke app for iOS and Android devices. It will be used as a tool by our customers to verify the authenticity of the product they purchased from the BTCMVMNT x Zuby Collection. The NFC chips in our garments come with unique transaction IDs that can only be retrieved using The Bitcoin Movement app to read the data stored on the VeChainThor blockchain.”
