In the rapidly evolving world of NFTs, innovation is key. SNPIT, led by Ani Mohan, Head of Growth, is taking a unique approach by integrating photography with blockchain technology. During a recent episode of the SGM Podcast, Mohan discussed SNPIT's groundbreaking project, which has quickly gained traction in Japan and aims to captivate a global audience. A New Approach to NFTs SNPIT isn't just another blockchain game; it's a platform that rewards users for their photographic skills. "SNPIT is really simple," explained Mohan. "It's a snap-to-earn project where you take pictures and earn tokens. We also have NFTs called Camera NFTs." The game’s structure is similar to move-to-earn projects, but with a twist—it's focused on the art of photography rather than physical activity. Mohan emphasized the game’s unique mechanics, which level the playing field by ensuring all users start with the same camera quality, regardless of their device. "Your picture quality is determined depending on your Camera NFT levels," he noted. This means that even if a user has a high-end smartphone, the picture's quality can still be pixelated if their NFT level is low. The objective is to encourage users to engage consistently, upgrading their NFTs to improve their photography skills and earn more tokens. The Community and Technology Behind SNPIT One of the standout features of SNPIT is its community engagement. Users can participate in photo battles where their pictures are voted on by others, creating a competitive yet collaborative environment. "There's a feature where you can battle against other users... whoever gets 10 votes first wins," said Mohan. This gamified approach not only keeps users engaged but also fosters a strong sense of community. On the technical side, SNPIT is built on the Polygon blockchain, ensuring secure and verifiable data for each photo taken. "In terms of on-chain data, we push location and timestamps," Mohan explained. This ensures the authenticity of each photo, creating a database of unaltered, real-world images. Expanding Beyond Japan While SNPIT has seen significant success in Japan, the team is eager to expand globally. Mohan acknowledged the challenges of translating Japanese success into international markets but remains optimistic. "Everyone enjoys taking pictures," he stated, highlighting the universal appeal of SNPIT's concept. The platform's integration with travel agencies and its appeal to the Creator Economy are seen as key strategies for reaching a broader audience. Looking Ahead As SNPIT continues to grow, the focus remains on providing value to its users rather than just capitalizing on the NFT craze. "We are really looking at this from a long-term perspective," Mohan emphasized. The team is committed to building a sustainable platform that rewards users not just with tokens but with a unique experience that bridges the gap between the physical and digital worlds. For those looking to explore the intersection of photography and blockchain technology, SNPIT offers an innovative and engaging entry point into the NFT space.
