Nothing, the company behind the much talked about Phone (1), and Flipkart have announced a partnership to launch the very first NFT drop at FireDrops, which is a Web3-focussed feature that will go live on Flipkart starting July 22. People who have pre-booked the Nothing Phone (1) on Flipkart will be airdropped ‘Nothing Community Dots', that will unlock special benefits for the phone buyers. These perks include early access to new products and offline events. This particular NFT drop on FireDrops is powered by GuardianLink, an NFT ecosystem company.

Flipkart, with its FireDrops platform, is looking to expand its offerings from physical items to virtual assets as well.

“Innovation and foray in the Web3 space is focused towards driving engagement between brands, businesses, enterprises, and their communities. We are delighted to join hands with Nothing to bring our customers into the Web3 playground with the very first NFT drop at Flipkart FireDrops, hosted on Polygon's blockchain,” Jayandran Venugopal, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Flipkart said in a press release.
