Fantasy Football (soccer) on the Blockchain — with a twist
Build your fantasy player portfolio on the first Blockchain powered football trading game.
Hello world.
Football is a beautiful game, nothing grabs you quite like a last gasp goal or a missed penalty in injury time, and that’s why fantasy sports are so popular, it couples the beautiful game with an extra dosage of interest. Suddenly that game you wouldn’t watch in a million years means you’re glued to the TV, praying that Peter Crouch will be donning that robot celebration.
But times are changing, the conventional format of fantasy sports is changing, and we’re here to embrace that.
Introducing Fantasy Football Fund — a fantasy trading game with a difference, launching on the 15th June 2018 🚀.
A completely different model — trade virtual shares of players and build the most profitable portfolio
WHAT? How does that work? The aim is simple, build the most profitable portfolio of players. You can invest how you want, focus on young guns who might reap rewards in future (because they’re nice and cheap right now) or stick to a small stack of bankers who you know will keep their value. You can invest how you want, and the trading market (which is on the blockchain as transparent and fair Smart Contract) dictates the value of the players, there’s no Games Master or CEO setting the value of Kevin De Bruyne, it’s all based on transparent and un-editable supply and demand.
It’s on the blockchain — and you rack up crypto for playing
Along with being able to rack up portfolio points with buy and sell fluctuations, every day shareholders of top performing players earn crypto dividends based on player performance. Will you use it as the perfect time to sell (sorry Mr Salah), or pray that they hit the limelight again and HODL?
Why crypto/blockchain?
Blockchain. Crypto. Bullish. Bearish. FOMO. Bitcoin. ICOs. Ethereum. Hype aside, the technology behind crypto (blockchain) is important, and embracing it to build new types of platforms and DApps (Decentralized apps) that are consumer focused is important to making sure it reaches wide-scale appeal.
Fundamentally the decentralized nature of the blockchain means you own real crypto tokens (ERC20 tokens) representing your player shares, we think this is super important for a game like this. These shares (tokens) are yours to hold and keep forever, unless you choose to sell them! Let them take pride of place in your wallet.
One final thought — while ERC20 and blockchain all sounds a bit mechanicals, we prefer to just call them shares, or Collectable Tokens for PLAY — coined by Parker Thompson.
These may be good investments, but the right litmus test for these is still probably “do I find this fun?”, which conveniently is something that doesn’t require a finance background to model or PhD in distributed systems to understand.
We don’t think you’ll need any kind of degree to play this. So come and grab some shares and come and play virtual football trader. The perfect combination of fun, skill and maybe a touch of luck.
No signup required. Just a MetaMask wallet and some Ether.
