FAQ
How do I start?
- The first step on your journey is minting your TOKYO23 NFT, which is your personal record of your travels. When you hold a TOKYO23 NFT, you can use the web app to submit your coordinates and receive feedback about how close you are to a goal. When you have reached a goal, it is added to your unlocks.
What locations will I travel to?
- The 23 goal locations include a mix of well known and hidden spots in Tokyo. You will travel outside typical sightseeing areas and get a taste of the more quiet side of the city - but you will also see plenty of impressive sights along the way.
How do I know where to go?
- Signing your current location within the web app will return the distance to your nearest undiscovered loccation. In addition, the app displays some hints about what to look for at each location.
Does checking my location cost gas?
- No! You will only have to pay gas fees when applying your collected unlocks to your token.
I unlocked a location, but it doesn't appear on my NFT!
- To apply your unlocks to your NFT, submit an upgrade transaction by clicking the "Update NFT" button on the interface. Your cumulative unlocks will all be applied when you submit a transaction, so you can wait until you have unlocked multiple locations if you wish to save on the cost of gas.
I reached a goal but don't see anything interesting!
- Some locations are quieter and more subdued in their appeal - we hope you enjoy the many faces of Tokyo both simple and bold.
The web app won't let me submit a location!
- HTML5 geolocation is required to submit locations from within the web app - make sure you approve any requests for location permissions. Note that this means that some in app browsers such as the Coinbase wallet browser will not be able to submit locations. In addition, inaccurate location readings may be rejected. If you are using a mobile device with GPS enabled and still experience problems, reach out to @TOKYO23_NFT for help.
What wallets work best for interacting with TOKYO23?
- As of the time of writing, injected browser wallets such as the brave wallet work best, followed by the metamask app connected through wallet connect. However, as the wallet ecosystem is evolving rapidly this is subject to change. We will continue updating the app to strive for the smoothest experience and are also interested in pushing mobile usability for the space forward more generally - stay tuned for updates!
How decentralized is TOKYO23? How does it work?
- The TOKYO23 token metadata is constructed entirely from smart contract code on ethereum - there are no assets stored on external hosts, IPFS, or any non-blockchain source. Your image will always be accessible as long as the ethereum network is active.
- A centralized service is used to verify submitted locations against goal locations and provide signed proofs of progress. This service is operated by the TOKYO23 team in order to provide a pleasant user experience.
How is TOKYO23 different to other NFT collections?

- TOKYO23 is limited to 1 token per address. The single token acts as a personal record of your accomplishments.
- TOKYO23 has evolving metadata constructed completely on chain.
- TOKYO23 is not a financial investment or community pass - it is a gateway to a personal experience, and an everlasting digital memento.
What do I get for finding all locations?
