About Boson Protocol

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.

In March of 2021, Boson completed a $25.8m public sale, having also successfully raised $10 million USD in private investment rounds. V2 of the Boson Protocol launched in late 2022 and has been lauded as a foundational piece of Web3 infrastructure, with Boson being awarded World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer status for the potential of this technology to democratise and transform global commerce.
