The German intelligence agency Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND) has started a series of dog-themed NFTs in an effort to draw in potential cyber talent from the general population. The NFT collection of the BND will serve as a key to access a blockchain-based treasure hunt. Those who succeed in this challenging virtual exam may be granted access to cyber services. It has been determined that 999 NFTs in all will take part in this project.
The NFTs in this collection, which is titled “Dogs of BND,” were all inspired by the guard and security canines used by BND. According to the official BND website, each NFT will also include a variety of intelligence roles, giving these digital artefacts their own distinctiveness.
The ‘Dogs of BND’ collectibles won’t be available for purchase on any NFT marketplace, in contrast to typical NFT collections. These NFTs, which can only be found by searching for a character string uploaded on Instagram, will only be used as collections.
The participants will be able to mint an NFT by connecting these strings at some point to an Ethereum address.
“Any person who has a cryptocurrency digital wallet (crypto-wallet / digital wallet / e-wallet) that supports Ethereum-based tokens has the opportunity to secure an NFT image. Since the external platform used does not allow NFTs to be offered completely free of charge, the NFT images have a symbolic price of 0.000001 ETH or $0.0019 (roughly Rs. 0.16),” the website noted.
“The Federal Intelligence Service reserves the right to disqualify participants who manipulate or attempt to manipulate the competition or otherwise violate these conditions of participation,” the website added.
