Abstract
Techniques are described, as implemented by computing devices, to provide digital content to users through use of nonfungible tokens (NFTs). This is performed by leveraging a blockchain such that digital content associated with an item is made available to encourage the user to interact with NFTs on the service provider platform (e.g., discounts, NFT listing functionality, automatic initiation of NFT transfers, and so forth) based on a user's possession of the NFT.
