Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Postal Administration (Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵPA) is pleased to announce the launch of Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Crypto Stamps ¨C connecting a new generation of United Nations stamps with blockchain technology.
Designed by Sergio Baradat of Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵPA, the stamps support the Secretary-General¡¯s strategy on new technologies, and were developed in conjunction with the United Nations Office of Information and Communications Technology.
The stamps in the denominations of $7.75, CHF 8 and €7 feature a unique design of the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Headquarters Buildings in New York, Geneva and Vienna, and were printed by Royal Joh. Ensched¨¦ of The Netherlands.
The total print quantity is 90,000 stamps or 30,000 per each denomination.
Each stamp sheet includes a unique secret code hidden behind a scratch-off area which enables its owner to activate exactly one counterpart of that stamp on the block chain as a digital collectible.
The creation, ownership, exchange, and trading of the digital stamps is managed through a smart contract deployed on the Ethereum blockchain. There are 51 variations of the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Crypto Stamps, as each sheet features one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
You are encouraged to find and collect all 51 variations! To learn more about how Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Crypto Stamps work, please visit .
