 Sovereign
Nature
Initiative
(SNI)
has
joined
forces
with

Unique
Network
and

WalletConnect
to
launch
DOTphin,
an
innovative

Polkadot
NFT
project
for
attendees
of
Token
2049
in
Singapore.
Attendees
are
invited
to
visit
the
Polkadot
booth
(Booth
#P34
and
42,
located
on
level
5
of
the
Marina
Bay
Sands
Convention
Center)
and
collect
their
Proof
of
Presence
(PoP)
and
begin
their
journey
with
DOTphin
avatars
which
evolve
through
user
interaction
and
contribute
to
real-world
marine
conservation
efforts.

By
participating
in
the
DOTphin
experience,
Token
2049
attendees
can
collect
a
PoP,
unlocking
stages
in
the
avatar’s
evolution,
which
is
influenced
by
ecological
data
from
SNI’s
marine
conservation
partner,
Aquasearch.
This
innovative
fusion
of
blockchain
and
ecological
impact
empowers
users
to
play
a
role
in
preserving
marine
life
while
engaging
with
cutting-edge
technology.

Catherine
Bischoff,
CEO
of
SNI
shared,
“Our
goal
at
Sovereign
Nature
Initiative
is
to
rethink
the
economics
of
biodiversity
conservation
and
restoration.
Through
DOTphin,
we
have
pioneered
a
groundbreaking
approach
to
merge
community
engagement
and
the
protection
of
our
natural
world
by
connecting
digital
collectibles
with
living
entities.
We
add
meaning
to
virtual
realms
by
distributing
dynamic
assets
that
are
verifiably
making
real
world
impact.”

To
claim
PoPs
or
other
Proofs,
users
can

visit
the
SNI
Website
or
scan
QR
codes
encountered
at
events.
This
will
direct
attendees
to
the
claim
process,
which
involves
logging
into
an
account.
For
those
without
an
account,
it
can
be
created
easily
using
an
email
address,
social
profiles,
or
digital
wallets.
The
process
is
designed
for
simplicity
and
efficiency,
making
it
easy
to
manage
and
claim
Proofs.

Once
PoPs
are
collected,
the
next
step
is
evolving
the
DOTphin.
This
can
be
done
by
visiting
the

REAL
Evolution
page
on
the
REAL
portal.
The
same
sign-in
credentials
used
to
claim
Proofs
are
required
to
connect
the
account.
The
evolution
process
begins
with
the
acquisition
of
the
primordial
“orbo”,
which
acts
as
the
starting
point;
once
hatched,
it
marks
the
commencement
of
the
DOTphin’s
evolution.

To
evolve
the
DOTphin,
other
collected
PoPs
and
Proofs
are
utilized.
On
the
REAL
Evolution
page,
select
the
evolve
option,
choose
the
Proofs
to
be
applied,
and
the
DOTphin
will
develop
accordingly.
Each
Proof
influences
the
characteristics
of
the
DOTphin,
making
it
a
personalized
representation
of
individual
engagement
and
achievements.
The
selected
Proofs
will
shape
the
DOTphin’s
evolution,
creating
a
unique
avatar.

The
DOTphin
avatar
aesthetic
is
heavily
influenced
by
the
artistic
style
seen
in
Japanese
anime.
This
design
decision
creates
a
significant
and
relatable
connection
between
the
general
audience
and
the
digital
companion
and
promotes
the
idea
of
caring
for
an
object
as
it
evolves
over
time.
The
acclaimed
designer
behind
the
art
is
Daria
Smakhtina,
from

Ephemera
One.
