The company has also experimented with nonfungible tokens (NFTs), integrating cryptocurrency and creating the Metaverse. A cryptocurrency wallet connected to the NFT marketplace has been created and published by the company.
Telefónica has been using blockchain technology for some time. Previously, it was reported that the company would launch a program to help blockchain and artificial intelligence businesses in 2019. It was intended that traditional ecosystems would be improved through this action.
Telefónica and Deutsche Telekom tested a blockchain system in 2020 to resolve roaming discount contracts. The blockchain-based solution was anticipated to reduce telecom costs and improve business-to-business settlement processes.
