How Are NFTs Amplifying Fantasy Sports

Fantasy sports' integration of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) attests to the originality of Blockchain Technology. Blockchain is crucial for tracking and tracing NFTs thanks to smart contracts that are kept there. They can be utilized in conjunction with conventional contracts to uphold rights.

What are NFT Games?

Blockchains are used in NFT games to demonstrate ownership of particular gaming assets. NFT artworks were practically explosive two years ago, and now blockchain fans are hopping on the NFT gaming train! Examples of NFT games include Axie Infinity, The Sandbox, Gods Unchained, Defi Kingdoms, Splinterlands, Sorare - Fantasy Football, Traverse, Bridgeworld (TreasureDAO), Star Atlus, Parallel, Wizards and Dragons: Reborn, and numerous others.

Blockchain technology is used by NFT games for three purposes:

• A "pickaxe" (a weapon in Minecraft) has its history and ownership proof recorded on the blockchain. Until it is sold or traded, whoever currently has the axe will still be the owner.

• Assets kept as NFTs are created in specific quantities and information is held on the Blockchain database in a provable NFT. There will always be 50 pickaxes if there are any. The defined number cannot simply be changed by the developer.

• All assets are unchangeable and immutable, and they are all safeguarded by blockchain technology. This pickaxe will always be gold if it has a gold finish. It cannot simply be changed to silver by anyone.

• Blockchain is decentralized, meaning that everyone can access and utilize it. No one player can own the blockchain.

 NFT in Fantasy Sports

In India, where fantasy sports are becoming more and more popular, gaming has surpassed other forms of entertainment as a go-to activity for young people who are tech adept. Fans of cricket, football, and kabaddi feel the need to interact and communicate with one another while they are not on the field watching the game. Players can establish their teams using online fantasy sports gaming platforms, draft, sign, manage, and trade professional athletes, and then compete against other team owners in either weekly head-to-head leagues or season-long Rotisserie Style scoring. These are skill-based games that simulate the thrill of athletic events for the participants. 

A player's performance in the real-world game determines how many points they receive in the fantasy game. Compared to 2021, we now have more than 170% more players from Tier-III cities and municipalities. According to the FICCI-EY report, India's fantasy sports market is expected to develop with a CAGR of 32% and reach 2.5 billion players by 2022.

Sports NFTs: What Are They and How Do They Operate?

One NFT is equivalent to one coin, which is why we refer to it as a digital asset as it doesn't physically exist. A collection of NFTs can stand in for a variety of digital assets, including books, music, paintings, voices, eyes, signatures, and anything else you can think of that you want to secure for all time. In a distributed ledger, NFT technology keeps track of the assets, their owners, and related transactions (a file that maintains accounts). It is Ethereum Blockchain in the majority of cases. 

Sports NFTs are a fusion of fantasy sports and sports cards. For current fantasy/sports card players, there is a business opportunity worth about $30 billion. 680 million dollars were raised for its fantasy football (soccer) platform through Ultimate NFT, NBA TopShot, and So rare. To speed up NFT Fantasy Sports Gaming, NFL All Day and FanCraze (cricket) are joining. Three goals were prioritized when Major League Soccer (MLS) launched teams: growing the league's fan base, generating cash, and integrating cutting-edge technologies.

Even the most memorable sporting moments can be purchased with nonfungible tokens, allowing you to relive the experience indefinitely. According to Deloitte Global, NFTs for sports media would produce more than US$2 billion in transactions in 2022. And it's anticipated that 4-5 million sports fans worldwide will buy or get a gift of an NFT souvenir by the end of 2022. All of this activity will increase interest in sports among a larger audience in the NFT marketplace, as well as a spark for digital art, one of which is among the top five most valued sales and has produced over US$100 million (by August 2021).
