One of the hottest trends in the crypto industry, Non-Fungible
Tokens (NFTs) have ushered in a new wave of crypto adoption. As
nascent class created for the digital world, NFTs are yet to
exhaust their use cases. The sports entertainment sector has been
particularly keen to embrace this new technology supported by the
blockchain. In this outlook, with an increasing demand for NFTs and
a generation of people eager to own digital assets, SporsIcon
offers users a way to experience the sports they love on a whole
new level. Designed to be the best platform for sports NFTs, the
project will work with the greatest athletes of several disciplines
to provide fans with a unique look into their careers and their
most important moments. Developed with support from Dapper Lands,
its CEO Roham Haregozlou, and recently deployed on the Flow
network, the blockchain supported by NBA Top Shot. SportsIcon has
been created with the objective of becoming the main hub for sports
NFTs. Its gasless and low-cost transactions make it a perfect place
for big players and especially retail investors looking to access
never before seen and high-quality content about top athletes.
These legendary sports figures have joined forces with SportsIcon
to curate a collection that will look upon their lives and careers
as no other production has done it before. Filmed with cinematic
standards with a team of directors and professionals from the
entertainment industry. In addition, SportsIcon will let teams,
athletes, and sporting organizations design, create, and drop their
own collections to commemorate a milestone or celebrate a sporting
event. Chris Worsey, Founder of SportsIcon claimed, The coming
decade will be remembered as the Age of Digitization, and as if
often the case with technological innovations, it will be led by
the sports industry. NFTs provides the most passionate fans (the
ability) to own a unique piece of sporting history in a manner
previously unavailable. Connecting Fans To Their Sport Heroes Upon
its launch, fans will have access to a collection comprised of 27
NFTs, each divisible into 9 different chapters. They will tell the
story of key sports figures and will have more rarity as the
chapters are launched on the platform. As Worsey said in an
interview for TechCrunch, SportsIcon stands out from the
competition because it “invest in the content”. It has the
objective of providing fans with real value while developing a
relationship with athletes and the platform’s community for the
long run. SportsIcon has received support from major figures in the
sports industry, such as former NBA stars like Nihal Mehta and
Andrew Bogut. Other investors include legendary rapper Nas, very
well known for his multi-million profits as an earlier investor in
companies such as Coinbase, FOX Sports’ Mike Vick, Romelu Lukaku,
Mexican soccer team Pumas. In the future, SportsIcon will work to
bring more athletes and organizations from all over the world to
offer their NFTs on the platform. In addition, the team behind the
project has announced the launch of an IDO, more details and the Q4
specific rollout date will be revealed via their official channels.
SportsIcon seems poised to increase the utility of this nascent
asset class in an attempt to definitely cement it into the
mainstream.
