My Role

How We're Disrupting/Improving the Engaging Industry
Did You attend an event with a boring stand that has only business cards and some pens and keychains?
We do, but when we attend events, we bring with us our NFT distributors and let visitors interact with it, to get exclusive NFTs, tokenized physical goods (books, EVO oil bottle, wine bottle), discounts, and more.
All thanks to our innovative portable NFT distributors, that create a new way to engage visitors with an unforgettable experience with our products and services, generating “de facto“ genuine word-of-mouth marketing.
Standing Out from The Crowd
The outstanding product of Hoken Tech is the portable NFT distributors, a simple mechanical tool that has incredible technology behind it, using the carbon-neutral EOS blockchain to bring amazing NFTs that can be claimed in a physical way.
NFTs are more than simple images, but a way to connect people, of all around the world, with products and services, for example selling EVO oil directly and internationally, with an NFT liked to it, and in more combining these NFTs with our portable NFT distributor, let people enjoying a fantastic experience.
Our Predictions/Thoughts on the NFT Industry in 2023
The NFT space is just scratching the surface of what can be made with it, and in different sectors, for example:
- Gaming, more games will be decentralized letting users own in-game assets that have been paid for, and developers can rely on costless decentralized servers.
- Ticketing, the scalping issue that hit this sector can be solved and mitigated, issuing non-transferable NFTs
- Tourism, new promotion tools can be developed to bring tourists like NFT postcards, NFT city game
But the sector can become more because blockchain technology and the features of NFTs, can unlock great potential that can be applied across the board, and more startups and innovation will emerge in the future.
What word defines the state of NFT in 2023?
Ownership!
The centralized world has a good opponent in the blockchain space, and with NFTs, people can finally own what they pay for, and finally are free from being always linked to suffocating terms, that disable people's rights only for the profit of God.
Did you know? The closure of the game "Megaman X Diva" by Capcom and the subsequent shutdown of its servers can indeed result in players losing their progress and invested resources in the game. On the other hand, blockchain-based video games that utilize Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) as game assets offer a different paradigm. With NFTs, players have true ownership of their in-game assets, which are stored securely in their digital wallets. This ownership grants players the freedom to use, trade, or transfer their NFT assets as they wish, without the risk
Why we decided to participate in HackerNoon's Startup of the Year awards

This increased exposure to an international audience will not only demonstrate the products or services you are developing but also highlight the fact that Italy has noteworthy startups that are worthy of investment. This visibility can help attract potential investors and partners while putting your startup on the map as a competitive player in the global market.
Final Thoughts
Ignorance is a state that hampers our potential for growth and understanding of the world around us. It can arise from various factors such as insufficient information, inadequate education, or a reluctance to learn. When we allow ignorance to prevail, it can result in prejudices, stereotypes, and hasty judgments. These limitations hinder our capacity to comprehend and value the diversity among individuals. By actively seeking knowledge, fostering open-mindedness, and embracing continuous learning, we can overcome ignorance and foster personal growth and a more inclusive worldview.
As the philosopher Socrates said,
The only true knowledge is to know that you don't know.
Only by acknowledging one's ignorance can one begin to seek the knowledge and learning needed to grow as an individual and as a society.
