Polish Crypto Stamp & Crypto Postcard

The Crypto Stamp was created by the National Postal Operator – Poczta Polska S.A. An engaged community has been created around the project, which co-determines the development of the entire concept of the collection of Crypto Stamps within this innovative project.

The first Polish Crypto Stamp project was inaugurated by the “Poland in Space” collection created in cooperation with the Polish Space Agency and the Polish Security Printing Works. Crypto Stamp 2.0 “In the skies” presents surrealistic paintings of balloons.

In addition to the main collections, Poczta Polska S.A. issues limited edition special collections that began with the “Battle of Vienna” Crypto Stamp. Another limited special issue of the Polish Crypto Stamp is the “350th Anniversary of the Battle of Chocim” issue. The latest special collection of the Crypto Stamp “230th Anniversary of the Kościuszko Insurrection”. This Crypto Stamp will be issued for the first time in both perforated and unperforated versions. Additional elements of the collection are hand-stamped CryptoCover and Cryptofolders with animated versions of tokens. In addition, the project issues collections created almost exclusively by the community itself.

The Polish Crypto Stamp consists of a traditional postage stamp and an associated digital counterpart. The counterpart is an NFT token represented by an image (graphic or multimedia file) that can be collected, exchanged and sold. The traditional stamp, on the other hand, is a collector’s value that can be used to pay for the delivery of a letter or postcard. Selected categories of Crypto Stamp’s main collection have interesting print enhancements: micro print, UV ink, metallic ink.

Polish Crypto Stamp is a project which, in contrast to its counterparts, has gone far beyond the realm of cryptophilately, aiming at a full adoption of Web3 technology based on the Polygon network.
Our goal is to combine the best ideas among passion-aligned crypto stamps collectors that leads to a new era of philately.
