Weekly Roundup — July 12th, 2021
Dear Lympo community,
After an active week for Lympo, it’s Animoca Brands and its family of companies that bombarded us with announcements last week. All of which are interesting for Lympo as well, of course. Let’s dive straight in!
Last week’s recap
Q&A with Ada Jonuse and Yat Siu
Curious where Lympo’s exciting journey will take us? Animoca Brands Chairman Yat Siu and Lympo CEO Ada Jonuse took the time to answer the community’s most pressing questions.
It’s an excellent Q&A video, filled with unique insights into Animoca Brands’ competitive advantages as a group of companies, as well as the way Animoca Brands leverages IP rights and how it creates unique value across the entire Animoca Brands universe. Check out the video here.
Joey Logano partners with Animoca Brands
Animoca Brands is excited for Joey Logano — the American NASCAR Champion — to join the REVV Token team as REVV motorsport Global Brand Ambassador! Together, they have big plans for motorsport fans around the world!
Joey Logano will promote REVV Motorsports games and their NFTs in person and via videos featuring him in a REVV-branded driver suit and car, conducting media meet-and-greet sessions, performing virtual live streams, providing autographed products, and more. Animoca Brands will create NFTs based on Joey Logano, including his driver helmet and logo, iconic racing moments, and special car liveries.
Check out the partnership details in the official press release here.
REVV Racing blockchain game launches August 11th, 2021
The public alpha of Animoca Brands’ new arcade simulation car racing blockchain game “REVV Racing” will launch on August 11th, 2021. At the same time, Alpha Inaugural — a 7-day competitive racing event from August 11th–17th with a total of US$150,000 in prizes — will be organized!
Level 1 REVV Racing car NFTs will be distributed via liquidity and staking events organized by Animoca Brands and its subsidiaries and partners. Liquidity events will be held by The Sandbox (SAND), GAMEE (GMEE), and the Tower Token (TOWER), and staking events will be held by Lympo (LMT) and SuperFarm (SUPER). With regards to the Lympo staking event, stay tuned for more details!
“REVV Racing” is yet another awesome example of NFT gamification and Play-To-Earn model, which is exactly what you can expect from Lympo in the second stage of our platform development.

OliveX signs up RCFC to be the 1st Asian NFT
As many of you know, OliveX — of which Animoca Brands is a founding shareholder — builds products to engage and motivate fitness consumers on the crossroads of premium content, AI, gamification and analytics.
Last week, OliveX and Resources Capital Football Club (RCFC) announced that they will develop and launch NFTs based on the popular Hong Kong football team. Sets of limited-edition collectibles will be put up for auction later in the year, in time for the launch of the 2021–2022 football season. This makes for Asia’s first football NFT collectibles deal!
This RCFC deal comes soon after Animoca Brands announced digital assets rights deals with Manchester City men’s and women’s teams, Melbourne City FC and Queens Park Rangers FC. Things are looking good for sports-related NFTs in the Animoca Brands family, and Lympo is proud to be part of it!
Behind the scenes
Over the last 7 weeks, we’ve introduced you to the core Lympo team members via the “Behind The Scenes” section of our Weekly Roundup articles. Let’s line them all up once more, so you can go ahead and read the interviews if you haven’t already! Here are the people that make it all happen:
- Ada Jonuse, Chief Executive Officer
- Tadas Maurukas, Chief Strategy Officer
- Arvydas Tumalavičius, Head of Community
- Vilius Jastremskas, Chief Partnership Officer
- Vytautas Ugianskis, Head Designer & Creative Lead
- Matt Jalincas, Partnership Manager
- Roman Holovay, Technical Lead
Plenty more people work tirelessly on growing Lympo to become the #1 sports-related NFT ecosystem out there. Crazy to think that we’ve launched the NFT platform only 2 months ago, and there’s so much news to unpack!
Next week we’ll have yet another interview with a Lympo team member.
Looking ahead
We would love to update you on weekly basis, but sometimes we simply have to wait for the official announcements to happen, while our mid-term goals haven’t changed.
So as you probably remember, we will hold Lympo NFTs Auctions on the Binance NFT marketplace. We aim to complete Lympo NFT minting platform migration to Binance Smart Chain as soon as possible, after which we will release new NFTs sets. You can also expect new blockchain integrations, as we aim to become a multi-chain platform. Have you heard about “Lympo Star Tokens”? Some of our community members already figured out what they are all about! If you haven’t seen the latest Lympo teaser video for Q3, check it out here and stay tuned for updates via Lympo’s social media channels.
