Engaging Users with Technology
The partnership’s unique offering includes the ability to record daily habits, generating NFTs that authenticate and preserve this information. This initiative not only promotes sustainable actions but also provides a tangible reward mechanism, thereby motivating users towards eco-friendliness.

This feature allows them to calculate their CO2 emissions and receive personalized advice on reducing their carbon footprint. Additionally, engaging in this experience rewards users with exclusive NFTs.
The Nitto ATP Finals 2023 provide the perfect stage to introduce the collaboration between AWorld and vechain in our shared mission to promote tangible actions for sustainability. The integration of blockchain technology represents a significant step forward for the AWorld platform, which, while rooted in Italy, has gained global recognition. We aim to continue motivating and guiding people towards sustainable choices using the tools that state-of-the-art technologies can offer,
stated Marco Armellino, AWorld.
A Gamified Approach to Sustainability
Beyond the ATP Finals, the partnership extends to online challenges valid until December 20, 2023. Participants can join teams, record daily sustainable actions, and ascend a leaderboard to win unique prizes. The top 8 participants stand a chance to win Phygital Tennis rackets, a blend of physical and digital worlds, equipped with NFC chips and corresponding NFTs.
Moreover, if the community completes 50,000 sustainable activities, VeChain will contribute to the recovery of 625 kg of plastic from the oceans, in collaboration with the ReSea Project. This initiative demonstrates how individual digital actions can collectively lead to significant environmental benefits.
Leaders from both VeChain and AWorld express their commitment to leveraging advanced technologies for ecological betterment. This partnership not only advances the application of blockchain for sustainability but also offers a model for other organizations to follow in promoting environmentally responsible behavior.
