The evolution of digital stamps collecting continues on Stampsdaq

ABIJAN, TALLIN, September 22, 2022. Following the strategy, adopted in 2021, La Poste de Côte d'Ivoire in partnership with Stampsdaq continues to digitize in NFT format its historic postage stamps targeting to promote globally county’s rich, diverse and distinctive culture and history via use of new technologies. Taking a step further in materializing a common vision, all collectors of Côte d'Ivoire’s NFT stamps are now entitled to benefits from the lifetime Travel Benefits program, exclusively available on Stampsdaq.

On October 14th, 2022 a new NFT stamps collection of 9 stamps drops on stampsdaq.com marketplace featuring digital variations of the “Native Masks” postage stamps set, originally issued in 1960, the year of Côte d'Ivoire’s independence.

These masks display the diversity of the indigenous people around which the new country of Côte d'Ivoire was formed. A mask of the Bété people, a mask of the Guere people, a mask of the Baoulé people, a mask of the Senufo people and a mask of the Gouro people can tell a lot of history and help to understand the foundations of what brought over 60 ethnic groups together into a beautiful country of Côte d'Ivoire. The “Native Masks” NFT series will be available on Stampsdaq in limited edition format with 5 digital art variations for each of the 9 motifs, ranging from Common (10000 stamps) to Unique 1/1. More rare variations come with animated designs aiming to deepen the perception of the original stamp motif.

The vision which these guys have for the future of the philately is really fascinating! In addition to well-known colleting and trading experience of a stamp collector, with NFT stamps you can have a transparent Global Ranking for your collection, play different rewarding games and now get regular chances to travel to different countries. That’s what technically impossible to offer only with traditional stamps.”
