Near Field Circuit

A self-authenticating artifact, precision-machined from solid brass. NFC tags have traditionally been used to link physical objects to the digital world. To create a truly phygital object, we have made the NFC tag an artifact in its own right—its brass form functioning as the antenna. Each scan verifies authenticity and records its interaction count on the LUKSO blockchain, embedding its history both physically, as a developing patina, and digitally, as an immutable record.

Edition: Genesis
Items: TBD
Materials: brass antenna and screws, resin enclosure, electronic components
Dimensions: 45mm × 8mm
Weight: 44g
Technology: ARX Halo chip, LSP8 Digital Asset
Blockchain: LUKSO
Interaction: Each scan records an on-chain authentication.

Every Circuit is individually machined and hand-assembled. The spiral grooves are not decorative but form the functional NFC antenna—an object where authentication is inseparable from its form.
