Presented in May 2023, CHO.earth introduced a digital ownership platform using NFTs called vCards—digital representations of real cultural, historical, and tourist sites around the world. Unlike traditional board games, these digital cards represent actual locations and hold genuine monetary value.
How vCards Work
Each vCard functions as a unique digital certificate representing a specific place, such as a park, monument, or historic building. Upon purchase, owners gain exclusive digital ownership and can manage their vCard, update information, and add data about the location. Owners may rent their digital properties for events hosted by other users or activate a marketplace within the vCard to increase its appeal to visitors. Like Monopoly, vCards can be sold, traded, or newly created by users. Each vCard includes informational content similar to museum plaques—featuring GPS coordinates, historical details, and other relevant information about the location it represents.
Earning Potential
Unlike board game properties, vCards on CHO.earth have real financial value. Users can earn actual money through their digital holdings. Popular and sought-after vCards representing well-known locations have reportedly sold for thousands of dollars. The platform offers a 5 percent discount for new purchases using the code CHO-2757-E, and users who create new vCards assume no shipping costs but retain the opportunity to earn significant returns if their vCard proves valuable.
