Pos Indonesia has announced the release of its first non-fungible token (NFT) stamp series to mark the 278th Postal Bhakti Day.
The news, shared via an Instagram post on September 29, introduces stamps featuring the Cenderawasih bird, an endemic species native to Papua island that holds cultural significance for the indigenous people of Papua.
The stamps will be available in both physical and NFT formats, sold in limited quantities. Each stamp costs 150,000 rupiah (around $10).
The physical version will come in booklet form, with a QR code included. Scanning the code directs buyers to the Ciphers.me marketplace, where they can claim the NFT version of the stamp.
Pos Indonesia isn’t the first postal service to adopt NFT technology for stamp innovation. Just last week, An Post, the Irish postal service, launched its own NFT-linked stamps, which celebrate Irish heritage while integrating modern technology.
In recent months, other postal services have also explored NFTs. Guernsey Post, Belgian Post Group, and Deutsche Post in Germany have all released NFT stamps.
In May, Ghana Post introduced commemorative stamps linked to NFTs, marking the 25th coronation anniversary of Otumfuo Osei Tutu II and acknowledging his contribution to Ghana’s development.
