So you want to know about the HANA GACHA!!
Simply, for a bit of SOL (price equivalent around whatever is generally USDC 10-15), you get to spin on this machine to win either physical gifts or digital collectibles.
I’m all about creating phydigital art/creative works & experiences, so I bring this tabletop machine with me to IRL events for just that. One of my goals as a creator is exploring the ways that the physical & digital could be, or should be, interacting with each other. I’m excited to no end being able to experiment with combining physical, IRL goodies with emerging web3 digital tech & tooling.
But most importantly, the point of this gacha is to create fun memories & forge connections with friends. I think we have a responsibility to shape the landscape on which we want to see creativity & innovation to flourish.
The “Gacha-pon” (ガチャポン) is originally a trademark of Bandai but has since evolved into being synonymous with the Japanese capsule-toy vending machines broadly. This is my spin on the Gacha. Thank you for being part of this journey, and here’s to many more fun, cool stuff & experiences together.

Okay you got me hooked.. what can i win?
The prize menu is event-exclusive, but there are usually some mainstay ones:
The Hana Favour Tokens
Although the favour token could just be redeemed as is for physical stuff, you could also convert it into “petal” tokens for NFT art pieces “Tokenomics” of hana’s greenhouse giftshop is still being set up but thinking it would look like this:
“hanabira” or “flower petal” is a fun experimental fictional (NON-LP TOKEN!!!) currency I want to try rolling out (TBD)
1 normal HANA favour token = 1 petal
1 IRL-event exclusive HANA favour tokens = 2 petals
1 pNFT = 0.5 petal
Favour tokens can be redeemed for physical merch or perks (tbd) while Petal tokens can be redeemed for NFT art pieces from a “menu” of items (flower banners, personalised poetry card…)
IRL Favour Tokens are worth 2X petals because that’s the alpha/utility of hanging with hana IRL
“But hana, why make it complicated & have favour tokens vs petals?”
Not sure, it seemed fun in my head.. I wanted to separate the physical perks w the NFT perks but have the supply of each redemption opportunity be separated so that folks don’t weigh one more than the other.
Hana Physical Random Mix
An outlet for me to share my passions of random homemade crafts & goodies from another life.
