Two types of NFTs will be distributed to participants of Kansai University’s Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan (hereinafter referred to as “the Expo”) related events and the “KANDAI Expo Club,” a student community inspired by the Expo. The university will also hold a permanent exhibition of the “MYAKU-MYAKU Key Visual NFT” on campus, helping to build momentum for the Expo among the students through the Digital Wallet.
