Japanese electronics giant Casio has joined forces with Polygon Labs, a prominent Layer-2 scalability solution of the Ethereum blockchain network, to <a href="https://www.casio.com/intl/news/2023/0905-virtual-gshock/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">unveil virtual G-SHOCK watches </a>utilizing Polygon’s protocols. 
In addition to the virtual watches, Casio is gearing up to unveil a collection of community access passes anchored on the NFT (Non-Fungible Token) technology. Starting Sep. 23, enthusiasts can claim one of the 15,000 NFT-based G-SHOCK creator passes that are up for grabs. 
This initiative also grants users exclusive access to a dedicated Discord channel created explicitly for this project.

Casio has outlined a two-phase distribution plan for these passes. Initially, individuals registered for a CASIO ID on the official membership site are eligible to participate in the pre-distribution phase, slated for Sep. 23-26. Following this, the public distribution phase will kick off from Sept. 26-29. 
This move comes after Casio’s recent trademark application with the US Patent and Trademark Office on Aug. 22. The application encompasses various domains, including virtual clothing, NFT-backed media, watches, and virtual goods storefronts. 
Casio’s G-SHOCK range, known for its shock-resistant properties, has been a flagship product for the company. The introduction of NFT-based creator passes seems to be a strategic move to capitalize on the existing popularity of the G-SHOCK series.

Casio is inviting users to contribute design concepts for the G-SHOCK creator pass as part of this community initiative. Furthermore, users can vote for their favorite design, with the winning concept being integrated into a variant of the NFT pass at a later stage. 
Casio’s choice of Polygon as the launchpad for its Web3 venture stems from the platform’s ability to support swift transactions, facilitating a seamless and efficient process for the creation and management of NFTs, all the while adhering to a carbon-neutral approach.
