ATLAS Vending, a leading vending solutions provider has once again made a mark with the launch of its latest innovation and first-of-its-kind non-fungible token (NFT) vending machine! Being the first vending machine provider to dispense NFTs in Malaysia to commemorate Malaysia Day, ATLAS took this opportunity to create a platform for 13 local NFT artists to showcase their unique artworks that incorporate local art and culture.
Crowd gathered at REXKL on Malaysia Day to witness the first-ever NFT Vending machine by ATLAS Vending.
ATLAS received a phenomenal response with hundreds seen crowding REXKL to get their hands on these exclusive NFTs. To encourage all to join in the excitement, 13 prominently branded vending machines were placed at REXKL, with each vending machine representing a Malaysian state and an NFT artist from the state.
These vending machines will be available from 16 September – 16 December 2022 and each vending machine contains a total of 300 rare NFT artworks out of which 50 of them are rare platinum NFTs which will be dispensed randomly. Check out some of the platinum NFTs below:
Roachpunk Collectibles (Selangor)
The Shah Alam Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium located in Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia. It is used mostly for football matches but also has facilities for athletics. The stadium is the officially home of Red Giants, Selangor F.C. since 16 July 1994, and has a capacity of 80,372.
Pelempunk (Penang)
As we all know, Penang people are very proud of our local food and cuisine. And we only acknowledge the facts that we have the best food in all of Malaysia. This is why Penang is also known as Malaysia’s food paradise. Spreading love & joy thru the art of pelempang. One NFT at a time.
Her: Huminodun (Sabah)
Every Year the Kadazandusun people will celebrate the harvest festival to give thanks to her, the one who saved the people from hunger and famine. The daughter of the Kadazandusun God, she is called Huminodun. She sacrificed herself for the people on earth. Her celestial body turned into plants and her spirit turned into nature. Truly only those with pure heart, mind and soul would do, leaving paradise behind and incarnated into nature… this piece is depicting her descent, where she slowly fades and all her rubies, pearls & diamonds come off of her.
Tigerpunks Mak Yong (Kelantan)
Tigerpunks Mak Yong is a platinum NFT and depicts a female tiger wearing a traditional Mak Yong costume. It represents the unique culture of Kelantan. The tiger also symbolizes the strength of women empowerment. The Mak Yong theatre was acknowledged as a cultural heritage by the global community.
In celebration of the 59th Anniversary of Malaysia Day, each NFT is available for only RM59 through cashless payments.
Additionally, those who purchase these NFTs will have the chance to win some exciting rewards from a pool of 59 prizes that will be distributed randomly, including 13 Nintendo Switch and 46 small ticket prizes of limited-edition merchandise. All winners will be announced on 9 December 2022 at REXKL during ATLAS’ giveaway ceremony, which will be joined by the NFT artists.
Kalithasan Sothinathan, Senior Manager, Marketing & Ancillary Sales of ATLAS Vending shared that after the success of the Sapot SME campaign last year that was initiated to help SMEs recover, ATLAS is now aiming to generate the economy through art and culture by creating a platform that will uplift Malaysian artists to make their distinctive artwork more accessible and giving them the recognition they deserve.

“As a vending solutions provider, we are committed to delighting our customers with our creativity and innovation to fulfil their evolving needs. NFTs have surged in popularity in recent years and have completely revolutionised the blockchain sector. Hence, we wanted to bring all 13 local NFT artists together to appreciate their work and draw Malaysians’ attention to the NFTs,” said Kalithasan.
This initiative also aims to elevate local artists through a profit-sharing model in which the total sales generated by these NFTs will be shared among all artists involved in this project. Let’s join in the celebration and make a difference in the lives of these artists with every purchase!
ATLAS Vending placed 13 NFT vending machines at REXKL – each representing a state in Malaysia.
“Vending machines are typically designed to dispense refreshments. Our initiative stands as a testimony that we’re capable of going beyond the ordinary.
