Later, you launch a companion Metaverse Gumball Machine in IRL, in the physical world, in District Hall, Boston.  

That's right: it's intergalatic, inter-dimensional.

Let's take a closer look at the physical twin of the Metaverse Gumball Machine. 

Here's what an NFT token looks like dispensed from the Gumball machine in the physical world. 

A laser-cut physical token, burned into baltic birch. (Not from Russia -- a major supplier of this wood. We're boycotting). 

It's dispensed from a machine that looks like this.

The body of the internet-connected gumball machine. Note the stepper motor, the strip of blinky WS2812 LED lights, and the blobs of Sugru.

Here's another view, zoomed-out:

The 9-inch globe is the major feature, after all. 

A QR code on the back of the disc takes you to an online form, where you enter your crypto wallet address. 

That's the only prerequisite: you need a crypto wallet. They are free, and there are many choices. 

Metamask is one that's frequently recommended. That makes it relatively easy.

Once a user submits a wallet address in the form referenced above, a fully minted NFT is transfered to their wallet address, for free. They don't have to do anything else. It will be there, easily verifiable on the blockchain.

Just like the Metaverse-dispensed NFT, the NFT dispensed by the machine in District Hall is on the Polygon blockchain. 

The NFT is too successful.
