German security watchdog Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND) has unveiled an NFT collection to help in attracting new talent. Dubbed Dogs of BND, the collection features 999 generative collectibles which the agency wants to use to power a blockchain game. The game’s players will embark on a treasure hunt to get a chance to lay their hands on one of the NFTs.

Find Hidden Items to Mint an NFT

The treasure hunt is meant to seek hidden items which include a wallet address and a transaction hash. Gamers must be German citizens aged at least 13 years old with the exception of BND employees. Those who find the hidden items will get a chance to mint an NFT on OpenSea.

Reports indicate that BND wishes to use the game and NFT collection to court young talent interested in the blockchain space to increase surveillance in the web3 world. The security agency has also spread the offering to its followers on Instagram to seek out new talent with an interest in both digital collectibles and social media.

Speaking to crypto media BTC Echo, the agency disclosed that the move is meant to recruit talents “in the field of cyber security in the future.”

The Secret Service also has an NFT Collection

BND isn’t the first security agency to launch an NFT collection. Last month, the United States Secret Service revealed that they have their own NFT collection listed on OpenSea. Despite BND’s move, not all government-backed NFT plans see the light of day. 

In March, for example, the U.K. treasury shelved plans to launch the Royal Mint NFT collection which the country’s prime minister believed would portray the U.K. as a global crypto hub.

Although the Dogs by BND NFT collection is yet to report any uptake, it shows an increasing number of government agencies are working to have a presence in the web3 world.
