Blockchain technology is coming to Formula 1™ as Pierre Gasly
partners with Fantom to bring NFTs to the world’s fastest sport Non
Fungible Tokens (NFT) have taken the world by storm in 2021. The
previously maligned sector of the cryptocurrency market which was
known for clogging the Ethereum network with CryptoKitty’s has
emerged as the fastest-growing subset of the crypto market with
billions of dollars in transactions happening monthly. Slow
transaction speeds coupled with unpredictable and high transaction
fees have rendered the Ethereum network all but inaccessible to the
average user and highlighted the strengths of newer smart contract
platforms. Among these next-generation protocols, Fantom stands out
for its 1-second transaction times and consistent, low to no cost
transactions. Fantom’s capabilities have not gone unnoticed by the
wider crypto community, and popular NFT projects like Pumpkittens
have embraced the user-friendly network with much success. The
ecosystem has also caught the eye and garnered the respect of
well-known influencers and sports personalities including Grand
Prix-winning Formula 1™ driver Pierre Gasly, who recently announced
a partnership with Fantom to offer fans the chance to purchase NFTs
tied to physical assets that commemorate the highlights of Gasly’s
career. As the world’s fastest-moving sport, Formula 1™ has
entertained and thrilled fans for decades but is usually enjoyed on
television screens that don’t offer the same excitement that going
to a race in person and meeting popular drivers firsthand offers
dedicated followers. Now, thanks to blockchain technology and the
power of smart contracts, fans have a new way to show their love
for Formula 1™ and hold a piece of rare history while also entering
for a chance to meet their favorite driver in person. This
groundbreaking partnership makes Gasly the first Formula 1™ driver
to release NFTs for fans. The sale is set to go live on Wednesday,
October 20th with the auction of three unique, 1-of-1 NFTs that
represent each time Pierre stepped onto an F1 podium. Each of these
NFTs will be redeemable for both unique physical objects and
real-life experiences, including the chance for a VIP experience
with Pierre during race weekend. There will also be an additional
fourth NFT that is composed of 350 separate tokenized pieces
available for purchase beginning at 2 pm UTC on Friday, October 22
that also link with special edition merchandise. Fans who are
interested in these limited edition items can access them on the
Artion NFT marketplace, where users can use wFTM to make bids on
all four pieces while the Fantom-based tokens ZOO and TOMB can also
be used to purchase individual pieces of the fourth NFT. All
auctions will close at 2 pm UTC on Saturday 23rd October 2021. With
80 Formula 1™ Grand Prix races under his belt, the 25-year-old from
Rouen, France is uniquely positioned to help introduce the world of
NFTs and blockchain technologies to Formula 1™ fans. According to
Gasly, who is a well-known crypto and NFT enthusiast, “We’ve been
planning this NFT drop together with Fantom for quite some time
now, but as often with innovative projects, our initial excitement
hides the level of complexity behind it.” With the finished product
now on the starting line and ready for its public debut, both
Formula 1™ fans and the Fantom network are about to kick fan
interaction and engagement into high gear.
