November 10th, 2021 - The Algorand Foundation welcomes Blocsport.one to the Algorand ecosystem as our latest grant recipient. Blocsport.one has been awarded a grant to create an NFT marketplace launchpad on Algorand.
Blocsport.one are the leading pioneers in blockchain and biometrics implementations. Blocsport.one offers solutions for clubs, players and sports fans including NFT collectibles portal, smart sports money on blockchain, sports DeFi, player IDs and scouting, crypto transfers and assets tokenization. Blocsport.one will build the NFT 2.0 sports oriented marketplace to offer collectibles of emerging high potential star athletes of the future when they are just promising rookies.
Blockchain-based solutions enable crowdfunding at scale and sharing career success and profits with a community in a transparent and secure way. The typical process starts from athlete authentication through our Blockchain of People (TM) solution. Blocsport.one want to be sure that registered people are real and IPs are real. Athletes are then ready to create their GENESIS tokens that reflect the name, image and likeness as well as access NFTs that enable fans to interact with the athlete depending on engagement levels with access to content, VIP voting, meet and greet, collectibles and much more.
GENESIS tokens are important because they form the Athlete Power Index, one of its kind tool to measure athlete potential and future upside. It allows athletes to build communities around them.
“The Algorand experience is amazing so far. Great team, fast communication, fantastic professional approach.” says blocsport.one CEO, Tomasz Krzystek and adds laughing “If Algorand blockchain is just partially as fast as the communication with the team, and we know it’s lightning fast, we are sure to create something superb together.”
“We believe both companies have amazing products and we are able to completely revamp the sports market together” adds Aleksey Ermolov, blocsport.one CMO “Sports space is very traditional in doing business and there is a huge opportunity with new technologies and implementation of blockchain and NFTs”
“Algorand will give us an access to strong community, the newest technology and of course, we are very thankful for the grant opportunity through the Foundation which will speed up the development process” says Klemen Gradisar, COO of blocsport.one
