Polkadot x Discovery Channel: A Tokenization Story

🎥 A Tokenization Story — Polkadot x Discovery Channel

A rare Australian opal will be mined, set in gold, and sold using $DOT live on Outback Opal Hunters (Discovery Channel), featured in a 10–13 minute jaw-dropping episode reaching 20–30 million viewers across 100+ countries via the following top global streaming platforms and many more.

The opal will be transformed into a Polkadot-themed amulet, tokenized into 100 billion fungible tokens on the Polkadot Asset Hub, and fully owned by the Polkadot Treasury—allowing the entire Polkadot community to own a piece of the story. The amulet will be sold to a Polkadot community member on behalf of the entire Polkadot community. The intellectual property (IP) for the amulet and tokenization process will be fully open-source, enabling community innovation and transparency.

This referendum delivers authentic, high-impact product placement on mainstream TV, paired with a user-friendly token redemption system that enables anyone—regardless of Web3 experience—to participate.

The physical amulet will be available for display at Polkadot events and promoted as "As seen on the Discovery Channel," blending real-world storytelling with immersive blockchain utility.

This marks the first real-world asset (RWA) acquired by the Treasury, signaling a strategic move toward RWA-backed diversification and setting a powerful precedent for community-driven asset ownership on Polkadot.

The Outback Opal Hunters series director is fully on board, excited to democratize opal ownership and showcase fractionalized ownership through blockchain technology.
