Smart Gilas Shiny NFTs, Launched! FIBA Finals Pass and Gilas Art Prints, Up For Grabs!

Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart), the global partner of the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023, is providing its subscribers with an exciting opportunity to own a unique piece of sports history. They have introduced an exclusive digital collectible called "Shinys," which are their version of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) available for acquisition at tournament venues.

This marks the first-ever NFT raffle of its kind in the Philippines, featuring the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 mascot, JIP, in the FREE Shinys.

Moreover, every minted Shiny offers subscribers a chance to enter a raffle for the possibility of winning a FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 Finals Pass, along with Gilas Art Prints crafted by renowned artist and basketball advocate Mike Swift, also known as Mr. Pinoy Hoops. Mike Swift gained global attention in 2020 for his massive art tribute to Kobe and Gianna Bryant at the Tenement Court in Taguig City.

Additionally, Smart and Gilas shirts, as well as limited-edition Gilas-themed Smart Prepaid load cards, are among the exciting prizes available.
