A Place Where Professional Sports Players Can Mint & Sell NFTs, This Could Be A Game-Changer For Australia’s Digital Collectible Space.
Stadium Launch is a first-of-its-kind digital stadium that puts the athlete – not the sporting organisation behind them – in the spotlight.
In other words, professional players visit a digital sporting oval, where they’ll be able to create their own moments. These moments are minted as NFTs with a limited number of copies available, and sports fans can then buy these moments directly from the player.
This is a shift from what we knew about digital sports collectibles before. The NBA Top Shot platform, for example, enables minting by the actual NBA brand. In the case of Stadium Launch, the actual athlete – whether they’re a boxer, cyclist, olympian or something else – is able to sell their own moments.
Stadium Launch will take the form of a metaverse. A metaverse, in the NFT space, is an interactive virtual world that users can access via a computer, smartphone or VR headset. Blockchain technology continues to facilitate exciting and profitable developments in the space, with some notable platforms such as Decentraland and The Sandbox gaining increasing popularity worldwide.
eplays is currently putting the final touches to the build of Stadium Launch. It’s expected that in October, the digital stadium will be open for athletes and sports clubs to carry out the NFT minting and selling process.
