Sports NFTs are getting an upper hand, sent by closely-knit
communities around sports stars, teams, and leagues. The big
“calling” for fans is how they can get closer to their favorite
athletes, collaborate with them and even have an impact on some of
their decisions. Blockchain is the enabler for all of this, and
Blockasset is what blockchain looks like when it’s an
adrenaline-pumped fan shouting “LET’S GO!!!”. Aiming to connect
star athletes and clubs with their fans via cutting-edge tech,
Blockasset sets up collaborations with major sports celebrities,
builds a community of fans and fan-vestors, and brings real utility
to NFTs, fan tokens, and $BLOCK – the staple token of the platform.
What are the benefits for athletes, fans and investors? Blockasset
offers an effective way for famous athletes to launch their
personal NFT collections and boost a network effect across the
energized user base. This model has already stood big with many
wins to be proud of. On two occasions, the NFT collections broke
the sales records on Solana: when Giorgio Chiellini rolled out his
“Gladiator” set in July and when “Legends” NFTs dropped in the
first week of November. Legends brought together 5 famed athletes,
trooping Muhammad Ali and Alexander Ovechkin. All fungibles got
snatched within 9 minutes, grossing $5 million in sales. Fans are
ravished with unique real-world perks and rewards, such as Discord
servers VIP membership, signed merchandise, draws for exclusive
merch, as well closed-door AMAs with athletes and even in-person
meet-and-greet events. Uncovering the immense power of the
“collaborative economy”, Blockasset lets users participate in
fantasy leagues with athletes, and influence their decisions about
signings and other joined projects. This is how users are
incentivized to accumulate tokens for their needs and keep active
within the ecosystem. Those wishing to invest in sports, too, get
to have a unique suite of sports-focused assets. It’s not even
disruption, but just “ruption”, as new investors are drawn into the
space with anti-inflationary and uniqueness that NFTs have.
Onboarding has been made easy: and users can easily purchase $BLOCK
with fiat. With sports platforms like Blockasset, early adopters
get the chance to leverage the potential of the nascent sector –
before the majority of fans and collectors even get a whiff about
the new opportunities that mix up a fervor of pro sports and
innovation. $BLOCK: internal token with embedded utilities The
community is king, while, when it comes to technologies, utility is
the queen. $BLOCK is an internal utility token that opens access to
all features and functionalities on the platform. The virtuous
cycle pushes up the price of $BLOCK with users constantly staking
and using the token. Holders of $BLOCK may stake the token to
receive a steady stream of ASSET – another token used to access
specific features within the ecosystem. At the same time, those
paying with $BLOCK at the internal NFT marketplace will enjoy
significant discounts. Besides that, $BLOCK is used for platform
governance, such as taking decisions on where the platform would go
feature-wise. In contrast to general-purpose NFT marketplaces,
users can also vote on various aspects relating to their favorite
athletes: for instance, what music they play at specific events,
and which NFTs they present there. Play-to-earn, yet another
feature powered by $BLOCK, will roll out in Q2 2022, boosting the
engagement and interactions among fans, investors and sports
celebrities even further. The project’s whitepaper envisions
independent universes of games and NFTs developed by specific
companies and clubs, all under the aegis of Blockaccess. According
to the platform’s representatives, the public sale of $BLOCK will
take place on December 9 on DaoMaker, Solanium and Raydium. The
sale will offer only 3.84 million tokens for purchase out of the
total supply of 320 million. More interest towards segment-specific
NFTs Investors are starting to pay more attention to NFTs that
focus on specific segments, such as sports, music, gaming. This is
understandable as the industry discovers the potential use cases,
and the markets get more and more segmented. Sports is clearly
among such niches, and Solana-based projects are leading the way
thanks to the lower barrier to entry and easier interactions. The
community will continue to discover various ways to leverage the
power of $BLOCK through leaderboards, NFT trading and staking,
play-to-earn, and supporting initiatives by athletes. With more use
cases comes the potential for sustainable upward price dynamics.
Don’t miss the boat on this amazing project, and consider taking
part in the $BLOCK public sales on December 9. Readers can find out

Twitter account – some serious buzz is happening there.
