### Welcome to Swapnice!
In this demo, we’ll show you how the **Swapnice Swap Badge** works.
Let’s say you’re a manufacturer and you’ve just produced a product. For this example, we’re using a **Funko Pop** (not the plushie in front of us). We’ve already attached an **NFC tag** under the chin—hidden from view. You can use any shape of NFC tag: circle, rectangle, etc.
Now, we’ll pretend this Funko Pop has just been manufactured with the NFC tag embedded. Using the **Swapnice app**, we’ll program the tag to serialize the item in our database—making it uniquely identifiable.
Open the **Swapnice app**, go to the **hamburger menu**, then tap **Inventory**. Under the **Switems** tab, create a new **Switem** and fill in the product details. Once submitted, it’s time to activate the **Swap Badge** by following the on-screen steps.
With the badge already attached, we’ll now link it. Hold your phone to the item for at least **two seconds** to complete the scan. The item is now registered as a **Switem**.
To interact with it, tap the **heart tab** at the bottom of the app, then the heart icon inside the box. Scan your Switem to view its details—such as creation date, serialization number, and owner.
A real-world example is the brand **Fearzu**. When you tap a Fearzu card, character info appears, including creation date, ownership, and even a chat with an animated character.
This is just a glimpse of what’s possible with **Swap Badges** and **Swapnice technology**.
