About Digital NFT Benefits
Media Do and Tohan together refer to digital content with an asset value that can be obtained as a benefit from publications purchased by users using NFT (non-fungible token) based on blockchain technology. We call them digital benefits . To get the “NFT Digital Reward”, users scan the 16-digit gift code on the card attached to the publication with their device. As a result, NFTs will be published directly on the “FanTop” website, and you will be able to acquire digital content that you can prove you own.
