Description
Flowertokens is an experimental project centered around the tokenization and verification of natural commodities, and a first attempt at creating a combined crypto-collectible physical asset.Users will be able to buy, trade, and speculate on tokenized Freesias (familie Iridaceae) via an online marketplace. The state of the individual tokens will be automatically updated according to the different phases of their corresponding plant’s growth.Flowertokens further marks the beginning of a series of projects oriented around these themes from terra0 – a group of developers and researchers involved in the planning and creation of hybrid ecosystems.
