Test the Claim Process
Check the issued NFTs on the "Token list" screen. For unclaimed NFTs, the copy button copies a claim URL; the save button downloads a QR code.
Become the first NFT holder yourself and try the claim flow!
#Distribution
07
List the reward on a Furusato-Nozei portal
List the NFT artwork on a Furusato-Nozei portal as a reward. No integration with T&T systems is required here. Mind the listed stock count against the number of NFTs issued. (You can issue more NFTs later.)
#External
08
Distribute Claim Links or QR Codes to Donors
Deliver the NFT to donors by email/SNS message with the URL, or by printing the QR code and attaching it to the reward shipment.
Each URL/QR is unique to one NFT — never share the same URL/QR with multiple recipients.
Claim status is visible on the "Token list" screen.

FAQ
6 ITEMS
Q.01 Do donors need to prepare a wallet to receive the NFT? −
No. With T&T, donors don't need an external wallet — A wallet is automatically generated upon sign-in, requiring no prior setup. Of course, donors who already have a wallet can use that too.
Q.02 Who owns the NFT contract — T&T or the project owner? +
You can set any wallet address as the owner, but if you don't have one ready, T&T can be the owner so you can start issuing NFTs immediately.
Q.03 Are gas fees required to issue or claim NFTs? +
No. The T&T platform covers gas fees, so neither project operators nor NFT users need to prepare any.
Q.04 Can I choose the blockchain to issue NFTs on? +
The default is the Polygon chain. On the Advanced plan, Ethereum and Astar Network are also available — please contact us.
Q.05 Can the NFT admin screen be used by a team? +
Yes. On the Advanced plan, up to 10 members can be added to the NFT admin screen (World Builder).
Q.06 Are NFT rewards compliant with government regulations? +
Yes. As long as the design follows the Ministry's "local product standards" and "recruitment fairness standards", NFTs can be used as Furusato-Nozei rewards. In fact, many municipalities across Japan have already adopted NFTs as rewards.
