 According to Mussallem, Loyalty Marketing is expecting up to 10 million mints for its nonfungible token (NFT) program as it targets onboarding its entire user base into a Web3 system. On its website, the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="company" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/company.html">company</a> claims to have around 280,000 partner stores across Japan and 112.6 million users, which is almost 90% of the entire <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="population" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/population.html">population</a> of the East Asian country. He explained:&nbsp; 
 <blockquote>
 “With this deal, they are committed to trying to get the entire user base. They're taking the system that they have right now, and migrating the entire thing over in phases, to a Web3 system that's going to run on their subnet.” 
 </blockquote> 
 Mussallem also highlighted that there are two areas where blockchain makes sense for the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="company" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/company.html">company</a>. The Ava Labs executive explained that there’s a composability aspect for onboarding merchants and an engagement aspect for users.

 According to the executive, merchants being onboarded into the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="company" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/company.html">company</a>’s system could be very tricky as they would have to get into their data systems and “figure out how it works.” However, the case is different for blockchains. 
 “When it's a blockchain, it's just the asset, especially in the way they run on subnets. It's very composable,” Mussallem explained. The executive also highlighted that this takes away the overhead that comes with onboarding new vendors and adding interoperability.&nbsp; 
 When it comes to users, the executive believes that the benefits lie within engagement. Mussallem believes that the move is about giving them something “a bit more interesting.” This includes ownership of assets and the ability to spend their loyalty points across different types of stores.
