Chiba City Zoo Unveils NFT Collection
In a groundbreaking move towards integrating digital technology with local attractions, Chiba City and Pacific Consultants, a prominent construction consulting firm, have launched a special website for the newly established "Chiba City Zoo NFT Collection." This initiative derives from an agreement signed on April 24, 2025, which aims to amplify the appeal of Chiba City Zoo while simultaneously generating funds necessary for its ongoing operations through the innovative use of 3D and NFT (Non-Fungible Token) applications.
What is the Chiba City Zoo NFT Collection?
The special website features 3D models of various animals from the Chiba City Zoo, enabling users to collect these digital assets. Once acquired, these NFTs can be viewed on a digital map within the website, immersing visitors in the zoo's atmosphere as they enjoy the thrill of collecting.
To commemorate the launch of the site and attract a wider audience, a promotional campaign allows everyone to obtain one free 3D NFT.
Campaign Details
- - Campaign Period: June 21, 2025 – August 31, 2025
- - How to Obtain: Access the special site, log in with a Google account, and click or tap the "Get your free NFT" option.
- - Special Site Link: Chiba Zoo NFT Collection (a Google account is required for login; campaign terms may change without notice).
Currently, visitors can explore a demo version of the site, while the official sale of the NFTs is expected to commence around July 2025. Updates and additional information will be provided on the special website, which aims to create an engaging and interactive platform based on user feedback.
Background of the Initiative
The rise of NFT technology has made it possible to establish proof of ownership over digital assets, turning them into commodities that can be bought and sold. Motivated by these advancements, Pacific Consultants is collaborating with local governments to implement 3D and NFT projects that encompass public infrastructure and regional resources, including natural landscapes and tourism facilities. This partnership with Chiba City aims to enhance attractions like the zoo while introducing the innovative potential of NFTs to a broader audience.
With this collaboration, the objective is to provide individuals who may not have visited the zoo with an engaging reason to learn more about it. Furthermore, a portion of the proceeds from NFT sales will be directed towards promoting the sustainable growth of Chiba City Zoo.
Understanding NFTs
NFTs, or Non-Fungible Tokens, are unique digital assets created using blockchain technology. Each token is distinct and cannot be exchanged on a one-to-one basis like traditional currencies. This distinctiveness allows for the certification of authenticity and ownership over digital items, including images, videos, and music. NFTs have become increasingly popular across various sectors, including art, gaming, and tourism.
