The Dawn of the Physical Backed Token: How NFC and Secure Chips are Bringing IRL Assets On-chain

The Dawn of the Physical Backed Token: How NFC and Secure Chips are Brining IRL Assets Onchain via EIP5791 While NFTs and tokens have been locked purely in the virtual domain for much of the life of Ethereum, novel secure chips and NFC tags are enabling projects to link physical art, collectables and merchandise on chain using standards like EIP5791 -- the Physical Backed Token or PBT. This panel brings together both those who have pioneered NFC solutions that link physical and digital as well as creators who are working on the cutting edge of turning high-end fashion into crypto and will explore both the technical challenges of creating trustless physical crypto assets as well as the possibilities of chip based ticketing, claims, real world token gating and more.
