Out of 23 million people who registered their interest in receiving Dubai Police’s first NFT collection, 150 people are now owners after meeting digital wallet requirements and entering the raffle draw.
The biggest interest came from citizens in the UAE, Nigeria, India, USA, and Saudi Arabia, with more than 7,000 direct messages to the Dubai police through social media platforms.
“All participants were contacted to confirm digital wallet addresses, and those who met the requirements were shortlisted in a raffle draw, of which 150 individuals won and received the Dubai Police digital assets for free,” said Brigadier Khalid Nasser Al Razooqi, director of the General Department of Artificial Intelligence at the Dubai Police.
The police will roll out their second collection of NFTs during GITEX 2022.
The Dubai Police are the first government entity in the UAE and the first police force in the world to create their own digital assets. The collection features 150 free digital assets that “symbolise the force’s innovation, security and communication values.”
People from anywhere in the world will have the chance to own the second set of police digital assets for free.
“NFT is a unit of data stored on a type of digital ledger called a blockchain, and every NFT is a unique copy in itself, containing complete information about the date of creation and owner. NFT-related Information documented on a blockchain cannot be falsified or copied,” adds Al Razooqi.
