Boson Protocol is Web3’s decentralized commerce Layer, enabling the commercial exchange of any physical thing as redeemable NFTs. Redeemable NFTs (rNFTs) can be thought of as NFT vouchers for things which can be: bundled to create phygitals and digital twins, programmed to enable token-gating to holders of specific NFTs and configured to return royalties on secondary sales. Simply purchase the redeemable NFT and get the physical item or your money back.
