Calling these &quot;Smart Cards&quot; is misleading, as that is a very well-established term for something else (cards containing an embedded IC used for authorization) [1].<p>The role of &quot;one link&quot; to a page with links to accounts&#x2F;profiles on other sites seems well-served by existing sites including LinkTree [2] and KeyBase [3].<p>Potential customers could already put a LinkTree URL + QR code on a business card; the website doesn&#x27;t do a great job of explaining why NameKard is better (and I have less trust in its website remaining available).<p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Smart_card" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Smart_card</a><p>[2]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;linktr.ee" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;linktr.ee</a><p>[3]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;keybase.io" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;keybase.io</a>

I have no idea what a smart card is. A description would be nice.<p>Does it have NFC? What kind of data can it hold?

Is the fee for just a single card, or do we get a batch?
