Summary
This case study will explore the collaboration between Unique Network, the Sovereign Nature Initiative (SNI), and WalletConnect – bringing event attendees worldwide to learn about biodiversity restoration via interactive, dynamic DOTphin NFTs.
Launched during Polkadot Decoded, 2024 in Brussels, these eco-evolving DOTphin NFTs travel from one event to another, enabling participants from various countries to experience this new gamification of Proof of Presence NFTs – connecting audiences with a meaningful ecological narrative.
The Opportunity
Focusing on sustainability and eco-friendliness, Unique Network has collaborated with the Sovereign Nature Initiative (SNI) to bring unique and dynamic dolphin NFTs to selected high-profile events.
Unique Network saw this opportunity to bring to life dynamic, DOTphin (Dolphin) avatars with a gamified concept as a Proof of Presence (PoP) token for participants attending selected Web3 and tech events around the world.
Each dynamic PoP evolves the more community events you participate in.
Challenges: How We Helped
The Sovereign Nature Initiative (SNI) harnesses Web3 technology to promote better sustainability and encourages participation at selected events worldwide to join the environmental movement.
However, it’s increasingly becoming more difficult to create unique experiences for people attending events, and often at major events, there is a lack of community involvement and incentives for participation.
Like SNI, more projects, brands, and franchises ranging from fashion, technology, or ecological backgrounds require more thoughtful and meaningful interactive technology that enables them to connect far and wide with their audiences. And Web3 solves this.
The Solution
As the tech partner in this collaboration, Unique Network focuses on the dynamic and evolution aspect of the DOTphin NFTs, enabling SNI to have verifiable dynamic data updates on-chain.
Each Proof of Presence token evolves based on active user engagement — creating personalized and interactive experiences for each attendee at selective events.
The Unique team streamlined the claiming process, ensuring participants could claim instantly, without delays or friction.
The goal: To foster community engagement and promote sustainability within the Polkadot ecosystem.

The Results
