What is a crypto stamp?

A crypto stamp is a stamp made up of two parts: a physical stamp and its digital twin. The digital twin is an image that you can collect, exchange and trade on the blockchain2.

Physical stamp

You can collect the physical stamp or use it to send your mail.

Digital twin

Each physical crypto stamp has a QR code that allows you to discover its digital twin. This is your own NFT1 ("non-fungible token").

Limited edition

The second Luxembourg crypto stamp is a limited edition of 15,000 copies.

Are you looking for this information?

The Luxembourg crypto stamps cost the same as a stamp for a registered national format M item, €9.00. So, you can use it for that too.

The Austrian crypto stamps are available online and onchain from 21.10.2024.

The Dutch crypto stamps are available in the online shop from 01.10.2024.

The Belgian crypto stamps are available from 21.10.2024 in the bpost e-shop. Orders placed from a country other than Belgium must be placed by sending an e-mail to philately@bpost.be

The Luxembourg crypto stamp is a stamp made up of two parts: a physical stamp and its associated digital twin. The first Luxembourg crypto stamp was issued in October 2023, before the second was issued in October 2024. For this second crypto stamp, POST Luxembourg collaborated with Österreichische Post, PostNL and bpost.

It is the twin of your physical stamp. You can use it to create your own digital collection. If you do this in the blockchain, you will need cryptocurrency and a wallet3.

With a Luxembourg crypto stamp worth € 9 you have the possibility to send a letter in format M by registered delivery to Luxembourg, which costs € 4 for the stamp and € 5 for registered delivery.

We have chosen Polygon for storing and trading the digital twins. They process transactions using the so-called 'proof-of-stake' principle. This consumes a lot less energy than ‘proof-of-work’, which is what cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin use.

Purchasing the Luxembourg crypto stamp should be done only on our website or in official outlets. The real Luxembourg crypto stamp contains an encrypted NFC chip that can be read with a smartphone. In this way, its authenticity can be verified.

Yes. Please follow the instructions on your packing slip and returns form to return your Luxembourg crypto stamp. Please note that returns will only be accepted in unopened and undamaged packaging.

You can buy the crypto stamp onchain on www.cryptostamp.com. In this case you buy the digital twin first. The physical LU crypto stamp can be requested via the button 'Request shipping'. Don't worry about your address details: they are submitted in encrypted form via the blockchain. You will then receive the physical stamp by post.

Customers can buy a first day cover (FDC) with the Luxembourgish crypto stamp. The Luxembourgish crypto stamp and the first day cover are only available online at postphilately.lu.
