Virtual football meets blockchain -- with a novel and unique idea, the sports gaming platform football-stars.com aims to distribute the first utility token on the ethereum blockchain, which is connected to fantasy football. By introducing the so called STRYKZ token, the platform intents to deliver an in-game currency, that incentivizes players to actively engage in the online environment and community.
The world of digital football
With an estimated world wide fan base of 3.5 billion people and 1.2 billion active players, soccer is without a doubt one of the most popular sports in the world. Regarding the online world the ball game is also hard to beat by its alternatives: Football clubs around the globe are home of more than 400 million facebook fans. However, there is still an interesting field that remains relatively untapped: fantasy football. In this online game genre, players build their own football teams featuring real and up to date football stars and compete against teams of other online players. Fantasy sport leagues have been already a huge success story over the past few years in northern America, including more than 60 million gamers in the U.S. and Canada. Since the estimated number of fantasy soccer players is only around 3.5 to 4.5 million, the field provides an immense opportunity for the European and Asian market.
Introducing the strykz utility token
Supported by soccer all-star Luis Figo and the German sports magazine Kickers, Football-stars.com can be considered as an established player in the online gaming market. In the very near future, users of the online platform will be able to use the new STRYKZ token in various ways, featuring ingame transactions, user-created challenges and other interactions with other players.
The ERC-20 tokens can be purchased for 0.0001 Ether per STRYKZ in the initial coin offering, which is effective until July 29. Additional ways to obtain tokens within the online game are getting rewarded for content creation, helping other players, reporting on football updates, providing matchdata on smaller leagues and many other community services. Moreover all community members currently have a chance for free tokens by joining the project’s Telegram and posting a guess for the current football world cup matches. After the end of the ICO, traders will also be able to buy tokens of cryptocurrency exchanges.
The team behind Strykz.io has multiple years of experience in online business, entrepreneurship and internet technology. Investors should also note the size of the advisor team, as it features 7 business advisors, 5 technical advisors and 3 supporters from the sports industry.
Sweet and short
Football-stars.com with its native STRYKZ token has definitely some very ambitious goals. According to the roadmap, the project is planning on launching a platform 2.0 with enhanced token functionalities later this year. Another important milestone would be an introduction of football-stars.com in the asian market, which also remains relatively untapped in fantasy sports despite a huge number of soccer fans. Don’t miss the game and check out the project before it’s too late!
