FAQ's

What's behind our crypto stamp?

Our crypto stamp is a post-valid stamp, i.e. you can use it for mailing like all other stamps. There is a Secure QR code (SQR code) integrated into these crypto stamps. When the SQR code is scanned with the associated app, the stamp becomes visible as a digital twin in your collection in the app. Once the crypto stamp is scanned, its digital CV starts in the blockchain. In the digital CV, events of the crypto stamp, such as a successful verification, are stored in the blockchain. These innovations make our crypto stamps forgery-proof, interactive, and exciting.

What can I do in the app?

Our crypto stamps app has versatile features.

All about collecting love:

  • You can create a digital collection in the app. Your scanned stamp is automatically added and displayed as a digital twin.
  • Check your crypto stamp for authenticity and verify your original. For this, you need a suitable smartphone with a macro lens.
  • As soon as the crypto stamp has been scanned, its digital CV starts, which is stored tamper-proof in the blockchain.

Fun to play:
  • Themed puzzles can be solved in the app. Learn more about the Principality of Liechtenstein!
