Physical & Real World

NFTs Tied to Physical Assets

Users own NFTs cryptographically tied to physical IoT devices — the device itself has an Ethereum address and must authenticate with the owner before it can be used. Design implications: show device authentication status (waitingForOwner → engagedWithOwner → engagedWithUser), design pairing flow UI, display physical asset address alongside owner address, show timeout warnings if device hasn't checked in. Design decisions: how technical to make the key exchange UI, whether to visualize the mutual authentication handshake, handling authentication failures gracefully, UX for transferring ownership (requires re-authentication).

Digital Receipt NFTs

Users receive NFT receipts for purchases containing structured transaction data — vendor info, line items, prices, tax, serial numbers — all on-chain and parseable by financial software. Design implications: render receipt metadata as formatted document view, show vendor branding (logo, contact), display itemized list with quantities/prices/tax, provide print/export functionality, show digital signature verification. Design decisions: how receipt-like vs NFT-like to make the display, handling PII privacy (encryption indicators), whether to integrate with accounting software exports, mobile-friendly receipt viewing.

Multi-redeemable NFTs

Users can redeem the same NFT for multiple different perks across different campaigns — a concert ticket NFT might be redeemable for entry, merchandise, and a meet-and-greet separately. Design implications: show list of available redemptions per NFT with status (available/redeemed/shipping), display operator-specific redemption flows, design redemption history view, show which campaigns/operators have active redemptions. Design decisions: how to organize multiple redemptions visually, whether to show redemption status progression (redeemed → paid → shipping), handling operator-specific metadata display, UX for discovering new redemption opportunities.

Physical Asset Redemption

Users holding physical-asset-backed NFTs can see verified real-world details: who issued it, who holds the physical item, where it's stored, legal terms, and declared value. Design implications: display token issuer, asset holder, storage location as structured fields, link to legal terms (IPFS), show jurisdiction and declared value prominently, design verification badges for issuer reputation. Design decisions: how much legal info to surface upfront vs expandable sections, whether to show issuer verification status, formatting currency/value display, handling missing optional fields gracefully.
