In an unprecedented convergence of blockchain technology and consumer goods, Ultra Milk, part of the PT Ultrajaya Milk Industry & Trading Company, and one of Indonesia’s leading dairy product manufacturers, has joined forces with Tezos ecosystem builder TZ APAC and creative NFT launchpad Gaspack to unveil a groundbreaking digital collectible — the ‘Icownic Patch‘.
This unique NFT, minted exclusively on the Tezos blockchain, represents an innovative fusion of art, storytelling, and cutting-edge blockchain technology.
The launch of the ‘Icownic Patch’ on the Gaspack platform signals a pivotal milestone in the expansion of the Tezos community. As expressed in a recent tweet by TZ APAC:

However, the ‘Icownic Patch’ is more than just a digital collectible. According to the official announcement on the Icownic Patch website, it is a token that unlocks a plethora of perks and benefits for its holders.
Rooted in a mythical story set on the planet of Cowverse, the ‘Icownic Patch’ offers its holders numerous unique experiences, such as capturing ghosts with free Ghostival tickets, enjoying cinematic adventures with free CGV tickets, and reliving the past with free tickets to the 90s Festival, among other exclusivities.
In this unprecedented venture, Gaspack’s role as an NFT launchpad empowering creators, artists, and brands to transition their IP into NFT projects is indisputable.
They recently broadcasted the launch of the project, tweeting:
“Introducing the all-new digital collectible: #IcownicPatch by Ultra Milk minted exclusively on @Tezos! Claim now on Gaspack App and embark on a journey of unforgettable experiences.”
The collaboration further highlights the inherent capabilities of the Tezos blockchain.

With such an infrastructure in place, members of the Gaspack App can enjoy quick transaction confirmations and low fees, effectively sidestepping congestion and delays.
Moreover, this partnership has brought the vibrant community of TZ APAC’s Asian Champions to the Gaspack App.
Users can now access a wide range of projects, digital collectibles, and decentralized applications (dApps) built on the Tezos blockchain.
This unique collaboration underlines the potential of blockchain technology to reach beyond traditional financial transactions and provide innovative, immersive experiences for consumers.
Ultra Milk’s ‘Icownic Patch’ NFT serves as a significant leap forward in integrating traditional business operations with the burgeoning NFT and blockchain sphere.
It embodies the transformative potential of Web3.0 to redefine business-customer engagement, offering a one-of-a-kind, decentralized, and interactive experience.
As an exemplification of the innovation and interactivity that Web3.0 can offer, the ‘Icownic Patch’ promises a unique customer experience that raises the concept of brand engagement to new, decentralized heights.
It heralds a new era in consumer interaction and engagement, powered by the robust Tezos blockchain.
