HEXA, one of Japan's largest NFT marketplaces, will issue the NFTs for the trading card NFT project of Nishikawa Town, Yamagata Prefecture. A trading card NFT of rarity ★1 will be issued to every entrant.
HEXA, one of Japan's largest NFT marketplaces, is launching Nishikawa Town's trading card NFT project in partnership with Nishikawa Town, Yamagata Prefecture, and Tobu Top Tours Co., Ltd.!
Issuing trading card NFTs will raise awareness of Nishikawa Town and, through people holding them, help expand the town's related population — people who maintain an ongoing connection to a region without living there. In the first series, rarity is divided into ★1 to ★5, and 36 types will be issued in all. The first series features "Gassan," Nishikawa Town's mascot character, and releases with a variety of other content are planned. This time, a ★1 trading card NFT from the first series will be given to every entrant. This is the first case in Japan* of a campaign in which a municipality's official trading card NFTs are distributed to every entrant.
In addition, those who hold the complete set of first-series trading card NFTs by 2024/3/31 and visit Nishikawa Town will be presented with a letter of appreciation by the town mayor.
*An internet survey of NFTs issued by municipalities, conducted by Media Equity Inc. on October 25, 2023, confirmed that, among trading card NFTs issued by Japanese municipalities, this is the only case in which they are given to every entrant.
