Ponke Meme Coin Brand Teams With RIPNDIP for Blind Box Collectible Drop
The Ponke x RIPNDIP collaboration introduces a blind box collectible that prioritizes physical retail distribution before integrating blockchain technology. The product, a sealed figure sold through RIPNDIP’s retail and online channels, embeds an NFC chip for post-purchase digital ownership verification using the Base network, without requiring customers to interact with crypto wallets at checkout. Rarity is determined offline, with the rare Lemon Love Bomb figure seeded in approximately one out of every twelve boxes, and higher-tier packs offering improved odds. This approach seeks to onboard mainstream consumers by making blockchain enhancements optional, enhancing provenance and engagement without the complexity or expectations of traditional crypto products. The partnership reflects a broader strategy among crypto brands to enter mainstream retail by keeping blockchain functions in the background, allowing users to claim digital benefits post-purchase without disrupting the familiar shopping experience.
