As the NFT craze continues to sweep across the industries of the
world, it’s clear that the technology is moving away from the
fringe “tech enthusiast” space and into the limelight. At this
point, it is safe to assume that everyone has heard of
cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, but crypto alone is
far from the only game in town. NFTs (non-fungible tokens) are
quickly surpassing cryptocurrencies in popularity as they gain
mainstream attention for their use in sports, gaming, contemporary
art, and even real estate. Currently, the NFT market boasts a
multi-billion dollar valuation which is bigger than many
well-established cryptocurrencies projects that have been around
for several years. The market is projected to grow even more as
companies and organizations begin to adopt these NFTs across an
array of different industries. However, while they are mostly
associated with art or gaming and collectibles NFTs are also making
waves in the sports industry. NFTs in Sports The world of sports
makes for a prime example of how NFTs can truly change the way fans
interact with each other as well as with their favorite teams.
Consider, for example, fans of a specific football club. Every year
season ticket holders have to decide whether or not they’ll renew
their tickets as prices increase. In addition to this, members must
also decide if they want to upgrade their seats or even purchase
new ones. Every year, the cost of renewing your tickets increases,
which means that fans must either fork out more money or risk
losing their seats to someone else. As a result, many fans are
forced to make the difficult decision between spending money on
football tickets or other day-to-day necessities like groceries and
utilities. However, NFTs can eliminate this issue as they can be
used by the sports team to galvanize funds from fans while allowing
fans holding season tickets to earn a percentage of the revenue the
team receives. In essence, the fans can earn tokens by holding
their NFTs and spend those proprietary tokens by engaging in
various activities and experiences with their favorite club. With
NFTs, the fans no longer have to choose between renewing their
tickets or paying for other necessities because they can do both
simultaneously. For instance, after attending a match, fans will
collect tokens which they can then spend on other experiences like
meeting their favorite players, watching training sessions, or even
taking a tour of the stadium. This gives the fan a chance to be
truly invested in the team’s success and also helps to keep the
most devoted fans coming back year after year because they have
access to exclusive team events and experiences which are only
available to the team’s NFT holders. Not only do NFTs allow teams
to attract more season ticket holders by giving them exclusive
access to club-related experiences, but they also allow clubs to
reduce ticket prices. In addition, this allows teams to earn money
from NFTs as fans buy them and redeem them at games or events where
the team can take a percentage of each purchase. MetaFans NFTs The
utility of NFTs in the world of sports goes beyond the memorabilia
of digital art or other forms of collectibles. However, existing
sports NFT projects primarily focus on selling NFTs in mass instead
of offering the most value to NFTs holders and creators. MetaFans
seeks to offer a unique solution with a sports NFT platform that
combines the love for collecting sports memorabilia with various
levels of utility to encourage the development of a sports fandom.
MetaFans is the first-of-its-kind company to offer a collection of
sports NFTs that go beyond cookie-cutter digital art that currently
proliferates the sports NFT marketplace to offer a new era of
collectibles with real-world value and experiences. Created by
cofounders Maxfield Bala and Marion Phillips MetaFans uses NFTs to
foster a community of fans who can gain residual reward
opportunities as well as have real-life experiences with their
favorite teams. With the initial launch of its first 10,000 Sports
Fan NFTs, not to mention a reward-driven NFT collection called
FanEpack NFTs, MetaFans is set to go beyond the world of sports
with a strategy that not only benefits NFT collectors but also
supports respectable brands, athletes, musicians, gamers, and
actors to mention a few. MetaFans Diamond Club Collection MetaFans’
Diamond Club Collection is the main attraction the company offers
NFT collectors and enthusiasts. It contains a set of 10,000 unique
digital collectibles built on Ethereum’s ERC-721 standard. From
this collection, there are over 700 unique traits across 4 avatars
that are designed by Maxfield Bala who spent hours illustrating
each trait by hand. Bala is an internationally renowned illustrator
and fine artist who has worked with brands such as Disney, the NFL,
Coca-Cola, and Samsung. He has collaborated on various mainstream
artistic projects around the world. Each NFT in the Diamond Club
(DC) Collection gives holders membership to an exclusive group of
successful blue-chip investors, entrepreneurs, and lifestyle
curators within the MetaFans ecosystem. This is the MetaFans
approach at enabling fans to have access to a digital country club
for sports fans. With this feature, NFT holders in the MetaFans
platforms will be able to join an eccentric ever-growing community
of fans while still enjoying the multiple benefits and utilities of
owning those NFTs. Benefits of Owning MetaFans NFTs Apart from the
perks that come with owning a MetaFans DC NFT, the opportunity to
mind additional NFTs within the MetaFans platform also comes with
additional features. For instance, MetaFans offers the Owners Box
Guest NFTs, which grant holders the privilege and power of having
the best seats in the house during sports and entertainment events.
This set of NFTs includes super rare collectibles completely
hand-drawn by Bala (the project’s founding artist). Also, those who
hold Genesis MetaFans NFTs in the DC collection will be able to
mint a FREE MetaFans FanEpack NFT that can be redeemed for various
giveaways and benefits separate from the main MetaFans DC NFTs.
Some of the benefits include a claim to real-world merchandise,
NFTs of clothing and accessories that can be used with various
avatars in the metaverse, and access to future trade-up programs
such as collecting enough FanEpack NFTs to burn for a Backpack.
Conclusion: MetaFans Future Collaborations Sporting teams around
the globe are quickly realizing that NFTs are the future,
especially for sports fans. They allow fans to truly interact with
their favorite clubs in a way previously thought impossible. While
many teams have recognized this potential, they have yet to fully
capitalize on it because they don’t understand the industry well
enough. MetaFans was created to fill this hole, which is the
company’s core mission. Once a fan owns a MetaFans NFT, they can
use it as a ticket replacement for any future event held by their
favorite teams and clubs throughout the country or around the
world. These collectibles can also be used as promotional items
during special events, giveaways, and other activities within the
team’s community. As for athletes, many are already part of the
MetaFans ecosystem, given MetaFans plans to collaborate with
professional athletes, music stars, and gaming influencers. NFT
holders in the MetaFans community will have advanced access to NFT
collections launched by various sports stars, musicians, and
influencers at a discounted price. These and other developments in
the MetaFans ecosystem will go a long way to give amazing rewards
and gifts to NFT holders in the world of sports and entertainment.
