Klaytn-based Service Spotlight: WITH ⚽
Project WITH is a new type of sports platform that assists athletes’ career development, provides information for teams to help scout players and offers a novel way for fans to interact and communicate with one another — all this using the blockchain technology.
WITH was developed to let average athletes that comprise the vast majority of the whole to have a chance to stand out, and to counterbalance the polarization in the sports industry, where only a handful of professional players receive the attention.
The services managed by the WITH application include the athlete’s profile, information for scouting, and his or her evaluation. These data are collected, distributed and utilized using the blockchain technology.
In short, WITH aims to leverage blockchain to help not only the top professional athletes with their career management, but also the semi-professionals, elites and amateurs that are outside the limelight but comprise 99% of the whole.
