Gaining Momentum

Hoken Tech is a verified early-stage startup based in Italy offering a 'portable NFT distributor' (physical vending machine). While the hardware exists and has been demonstrated at local events (e.g., Crypto Expo Milan), the submission's claim that 'most people have used my product' is demonstrably false and heavily penalized. Actual traction is minimal (<1,000 interactions), and revenue is undisclosed but likely negligible. The project offers a novel but niche physical-digital bridge in a cooled market environment.
