The Azuki x Satoshi Nakamoto Enduro Hoodie is a Physical-Backed Token (PBT, EIP-5791), which means that owning this NFT will be proof that you own one of the 98 hoodies. For any transfer, each hoodie requires decentralized on-chain verification, flexing of off-chain ownership, and signature from a physical chip embedded inside the hoodie.

Data compiled by CoinGecko.com, an on-chain crypto market aggregator and a multi-chain non-fungible token explorer, the Azuki floor price jumped from 4.49 ETH in early May 22 to 4.64 ETH shortly after the announcement. At the time of writing, the Azuki floor price is consolidating around 4.42 ETH.
