Swiss Post Unveils Cutting Edge AI-Powered Crypto Stamp for Secure Digital Transactions

Thursday, 20 April, 2023

The Swiss Post will release its third edition of the Swiss Crypto Stamp on May 2, 2023, following the success of its previous two launches. This new digital stamp aims to bridge the gap between traditional stamp enthusiasts and NFT collectors. Like its predecessors, the Swiss Crypto Stamp 3.0 comprises two parts: a physical stamp worth 9 francs and a unique digital version, known as a Non-Fungible Token (NFT), that is recorded in a blockchain and can be collected, traded, and sold online.

The Swiss Post now released the initial designs and pricing information for the Swiss Crypto Stamp 3.0, which has been highly anticipated. The introduction of the themes for this third edition of crypto-stamps has started gradually, one month prior to the official launch.

Bella, Emmy, and Rocky are three variations of the latest Swiss Crypto Stamp 3.0 that showcase St. Bernard, the famous Swiss dog. Recently, the Swiss Post revealed the new collection of crypto-stamps, which is the third edition with a theme of artificial intelligence. The AI is responsible for creating the artwork featured on the new Crypto Stamps.

The remaining stamps will be unveiled in stages over the coming weeks leading up to the official release on May 2, 2023, at 7:30 am. The Swiss Crypto Stamp 3.0 will have a limited edition of 225,000 copies, available in 14 different versions. The circulation numbers for each version range from 50 to 65,000 copies, meaning that some versions will be rarer than others. Additionally, there will be a new NFT-free version of the crypto-stamp available for those who want it solely as a paper collector's item. The prices for the third crypto-stamp will vary depending on the motif and print run, based on the rarity of the NFT.

How Does Swiss Crypto Stamp 3.0 Differ from 1.0 and 2.0?
