Finger, Financial Metaverse 'DokdoBus' Surpasses 30,000 Pre-Registrations in One Day..."NFT Interest '↑'"

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunseok Yoo] Fintech specialist Finger announced on the 1st that the pre-registrations for its financial metaverse platform 'Dokdo Bus' have surpassed 30,000.

Pre-registration began on the 30th of last month. Nam Yunho, CEO of Finger's blockchain subsidiary 'MyCreditChain,' said, "We quickly exceeded our initial target and are urgently improving the Dokdo Bus pre-registration UI."

'Dokdo Bus' positions itself as the most entertaining financial metaverse platform. In October, Finger announced plans for 'Dokdo Bus,' the first financial metaverse platform combining metaverse and finance. Dokdo Bus is a financial metaverse platform set against the backdrop of Dokdo implemented in a metaverse environment, where avatars (customers) can play games to accumulate assets and invest or trade them. With gaming elements and the patriotic aspect of Dokdo, it targets a broad customer base ranging from the MZ generation to senior generations.

Within Dokdo Bus, NH Nonghyup Bank has opened a metaverse branch to provide financial services. An NFT (Non-Fungible Token)-based digital asset system is introduced within Dokdo Bus, allowing users not only to spend time playing games but also to link their activities to real-world profits.

Citizenship in Dokdo Bus is issued with NFT application. The NFT-applied citizenship is a "certificate verifying citizenship of Dokdo Bus." Ownership and transaction history are specified. Since this citizenship cannot be forged or duplicated, ownership is securely guaranteed and resale is possible. Users owning Dokdo Bus citizenship can hold land and build structures, which, due to their scarcity, hold value and can be sold. The company expects the value of the limited Dokdo Bus citizenship NFTs to increase over time.

DOS (Dokdo Synchronizer) is the currency used in Dokdo Bus. All users, including Dokdo Bus citizens, can use DOS to purchase items or complete quests to accumulate it. It can also be traded with other users. Additionally, DOS is linked to financial services connected to Dokdo Bus, making it useful in real life beyond the metaverse.

Park Minsu, CEO of Finger, stated, "This Dokdo Bus project brings together Finger, which understands smart finance well, NH Nonghyup Bank with its large customer base, and the blockchain-based startup MyCreditChain. We will lead innovation in metaverse finance, or 'Meta-finance,' through Dokdo Bus going forward."
