A Treasure Chest of Premium Fashion and Web3 Rewards

At the heart of the 9dcc Black Box is ITERATION-04, a limited-edition collectible that marks the latest addition to the brand’s ecosystem. The new creation—a premium PVC collectible character keychain—is more than just an accessory. It embodies 9dcc’s ethos of creating seamlessly integrated physical and digital experiences. Each keychain is powered by Networked Product technology, making it interactive, portable, and connected to the broader 9dcc ecosystem.

“From day one, 9dcc has been about creating a deeper connection between people and the products they own. ITERATION-04 is the perfect representation of that ethos—it’s not just something you carry, it’s something you experience and a conversation starter,” says gmoney.

Buyers of the 9dcc Black Box will also find a mystery curated piece from COLLECTION-01, 9dcc’s foundational fashion line. These pieces, ranging from the popular Essential Baseball Cap to the luxurious Japanese Satin Bomber Jacket, reflect 9dcc’s commitment to quality, design, and utility. Crafted with premium materials and authenticated onchain, these items epitomize luxury tailored for a digital-first generation. Sports stars and celebrities—from the red carpet to the NBA and NFL tunnels—have already embraced 9dcc’s fits, signaling its growing consumer adoption as a symbol of statement-making style.

But the value doesn’t end there. Each 9dcc Black Box also includes:

Network Points: Marking a big opportunity to earn points in Season 1, unlocking access to exclusive products, events, and experiences.
