Athlete NFT platform Blockasset announced today that it is expanding beyond its original home of Solana for Chiliz Chain 2.0, the new Ethereum Virtual Machine-compatible Layer-1 blockchain from sports fan token firm Chiliz.
Alongside the expansion, Blockasset will receive an equity investment from Chiliz, which owns the Socios fan token and rewards platform. Socios works with more than 170 partners including teams across the NFL, NBA, NHL, and MLS, plus top soccer leagues around the world. The investment comes through Chiliz Labs, the $50 million incubator that Chiliz launched with VC firm Jump Crypto to support blockchain projects in sports.
More than 40 athletes offer NFTs through Blockasset, including former English soccer star Wayne Rooney, NHL veteran Alex Ovechkin, New Zealand rugby player Jonah Lomu, and UFC fighter Jorge Masvidal.
Blockasset joins livestreaming provider FanFest and media gamification platform LiveLike in moving onto Chiliz’s blockchain.
The ongoing crypto winter has been painful for the entire industry, but 2022 was particularly rough for Solana. The collapse of FTX and Alameda Research, which were closely linked to and financially entrenched in the Solana ecosystem, accelerated a decline in a year marked by technical issues and high-profile hacks. Although Solana hosts a thriving NFT ecosystem and growing gaming push, the turbulent times and 94% token price plunge have pushed some creators to look for greener pastures elsewher...
In a blog post from Chiliz and Blockasset, the companies wrote that Blockasset will "now move the next development phase" from Solana to Chiliz Chain 2.0. However, in a tweet, Blockasset co-founder and product manager Mike Dickens said that the company is "not leaving Solana" and that the firm will take a cross-chain approach.
Other Solana projects have made recent moves to exit the ecosystem, however. DeGods and y00ts, two of the most popular NFT projects on Solana, will bridge over to Ethereum and Polygon respectively this month through a "burn-and-mint" process for each new chain. Tiny Colony, a Solana NFT game, is leaving for Ethereum scaling network Immutable X.
“Blockasset’s athlete-verified token approach is different yet completely complementary to our Socios.com team Fan Token model, allowing us to strengthen the utility of our Fan Tokens and increase our catalog of rewards through cross activations,” Chiliz CEO Alexandre Dreyfus said in a statement.
Fans can buy Blockasset’s NFTs to access perks such as Discord chats with athletes, meet and greet events, merchandise, and signed memorabilia.
Pseudonymous NFT collector Gmoney talks to Decrypt's Dan Roberts at NFT Paris about his Web3 luxury brand 9dcc, big brands getting into NFTs, the debate over creator royalty fees, and what will come next to the space.
Chiliz offers similar rewards through Socios, its fan token platform that lets users vote in polls related to their favorite teams. Socios has other deals with the UFC and Professional Fighters League, and owns an equity stake in FC Barcelona’s digital studio. Lionel Messi, soccer’s biggest star, is a global brand ambassador for Socios.
Chiliz says it plans to further invest in Web3 projects to help onboard them onto its blockchain network, with an emphasis on NFT ticketing and play-to-earn games.
Editor's note: This article was updated after publication to clarify that Blockasset will not exit Solana entirely, but rather go cross-chain as it expands to Chiliz Chain 2.0. We regret the error.
The Infinite Node Foundation, a newly established nonprofit endowment, announced Tuesday that it has acquired the IP of influential Ethereum NFT collection CryptoPunks from previous owner and Bored Ape Yacht Club creator Yuga Labs. The Foundation, which announced a $25 million grant in April “to build the future of digital art,” will now steward the 10,000-piece Punks collection first created by Larva Labs in 2017, while Yuga Labs shifts back to its “apeish roots.” CryptoPunks General Manager Na...
Gaming giant Square Enix, the firm behind Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts, announced this week that it is expanding its blockchain game Symbiogenesis to Sony’s Ethereum layer-2 network, Soneium. Symbiogenesis originally launched on Ethereum scaling network Polygon, and is currently wrapping up what’s slated to be its final season of content. But that imminent conclusion isn’t stopping Square Enix from a further affiliation with Sony on the blockchain. The initiative connects Symbiogenesis with...
Doodles took its next major step forward Friday after switching CEOs in January, launching its ecosystem token—DOOD—on Solana with an airdrop for NFT holders. The initiative is the first critical launch since Scott Martin, better known as Burnt Toast, assumed the project’s chief executive role, beginning an era in which he planned to introduce more risk while doing away with its previously “extractive corpo” initiatives. Martin, who is also the artist behind the Doodles brand, previously spoke...
