Zaiko Inc., which supports the success of creators through technology (headquartered: Minato-ku, Tokyo, CEO: Malek Nasser, https://zaiko.io/), is developing a wide range of products/services in areas such as digital events, video distribution, data analytics, and NFTs, based on the concept of a platform (Direct to Fan = D2F model) that connects creators and fans directly. We are now fully launching the service "Digitama Stubs", which allows the purchase of NFT-ized event tickets (NFTs) that were introduced in some events since last December, for all event organizers.

"Digitama Stubs", which started in December 2021, is Japan's first ticket NFT service with key visuals, schedules, venue names, and serial numbers for events. Fans can purchase NFT-ized half tickets (= Stubs) simultaneously when buying tickets on Zaiko, and can collect them within Digitama ( https://digitama.io/ ) operated by Zaiko. Just as collectors collected paper ticket stubs, fans can use NFTs to collect their purchased ticket stubs online. Additionally, purchased "Digitama Stubs" can be checked anytime by logging into the Digitama account linked to the Zaiko account.

Zaiko continues to support the creation of a new economic sphere by connecting creators and fans directly through the provision of D2F model services centered on a digital platform. In the NFT field, we have been quickly developing products that lead to the expansion of creators' revenues. With the full launch of "Digitama Stubs" for all event organizers, we are also planning further developments through partnerships with ticket play guides and agencies.

■What are Digitama Stubs?
"Digitama Stubs" is an NFT product that allows for the sale of electronic ticket stubs as NFTs. Event organizers can choose the prices for Stubs at 500, 1000, or 2000 yen, and can sell ticket stub NFTs along with regular electronic tickets, which include the event's key visuals, schedules, venue names, and serial numbers. This allows for additional revenue streams from "Digitama Stubs" on top of the ticket sales revenue. Moreover, organizers can enhance the value of "Digitama Stubs" by sending thank-you messages exclusively to purchasers and conducting exclusive ticket sales, thereby utilizing it for communication with new fans. "Digitama Stubs" are compatible with both venue tickets and online tickets sold on Zaiko, and can be used for all event tickets. (Excludes Zaiko Borderless and Zaiko Zero)
Through the use of Digitama Stubs, fans can leave records and memories of their event participation as NFTs.
