Introducing the CodeCraft Winners!

We’re thrilled to announce the long-awaited CodeCraft winners from the CodeCraft program! We started this program at the beginning of this year and have seen over 100 submissions from projects, developer teams, and NFT enthusiasts.

Make way for our current winners, with more to be announced by the end of the year:

  • ChessOnChain Polkadot: Unique’s collaboration with ChessOnChain brings extraordinary digital art chess pieces to life. Forget boring, collectible items; these Chess NFTs act as your special key to entering the ChessOnChain world — powered by Unique and secured by Polkadot!
  • Softlaw: Combines NFT technology with legal frameworks to tokenize intellectual property (IP), providing secure and transparent registries for ideas, patents, memes, music, designs, and anything you want. The platform’s MVP will be tailored to diverse use cases, ensuring legal protection for digital assets.
  • Kooponcraft: Kooponcraft is a digital coupon platform, that provides digital coupons leveraging them in the form of NFTs. Businesses can reward their customers with specially created coupons, and customers can receive or trade their coupons (e.g., you can receive a coupon for a pizza but later change this for your daily coffee!)
  • More coming soon!
