Sport Club Corinthians Paulista Becomes First Brazilian Club to Launch an NFT Campaign on Socios.com

Published

Sport Club Corinthians Paulista has become the first Brazilian club to launch an NFT campaign on the fan engagement and rewards app Socios.com.

The launch took place on Saturday (6/11), when 100 limited edition NFTs were minted to commemorate an important moment from their Campeonato Brasileiro Série A match. The NFTs were subsequently dropped to $SCCP Fan Token holders who own at least 10 $SCCP Fan Tokens and predict the outcome of the match on the Socios.com Predictor feature.

Corinthians becomes the second football club in the world to mint “in game” NFTs to reward their fans. On October 31, Italian giants AC Milan inaugurated this trend during their Serie A match against AS Roma. Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s goal celebration was captured by a photographer and turned into 100 limited edition NFTs that were airdropped to $ACM Fan Token holders worldwide.

The inaugural launch generated huge interest amongst football fans worldwide, increasing the number of $ACM Fan Token holders by 25% and making the AC Milan – AS Roma game the second most predicted match on the Socios.com app since the Predictor feature was launched in June 2021.

Many similar launches will be held with other Socios.com partner clubs, increasing the opportunities for Fan Token holders to be rewarded through the app and fully integrating NFTs as part of the Socios.com offering. NFTs minted for Socios.com partners will be tradable on any Ethereum based NFT marketplace.

Created by Chiliz, the leading blockchain provider for the global sports and entertainment industry, Socios.com has major expansion plans and is targeting many more Fan Token launches throughout the world. The company has multiple office locations around the globe. It has recently opened new regional headquarters in Madrid, Istanbul, São Paulo and Buenos Aires, and will soon open a North American office.

Alexandre Dreyfus, CEO of Chiliz and Socios.com, said: “We are very happy that our second launch of ‘in game’ NFTs is taking place in Brazil, a country that literally breathes football.”

“The huge success of last week’s NFT launch with AC Milan, which generated a 25% spike in the number $ACM Fan Token holders, proved that fans are demanding new ways of experiencing their passion for the game and engaging with their favorite clubs. I’m sure this launch will build on that success and attract more Corinthians fans to our fan engagement ecosystem.”

“The potential of our NFTs is huge: they not only provide a way to collect and take ownership of the team’s most memorable moments, but will also enable fans to unlock ‘money can’t buy experiences’ and other digital rewards and incentives. I encourage Corinthians fans worldwide to embrace this opportunity.”

Duilio Monteiro Alves, president of S. C. Corinthians Paulista, said: “It’s a huge satisfaction for Corinthians to take one more step in the partnership with Socios.com. With digital innovations such as the NFTs, we seek our fans increasing engagement – and, through their unique participation, they find one additional way of demonstrating their love for the team, making Corinthians stronger on and off the pitch.”

Game of Silks, the first metaverse that mirrors the real world of thoroughbred horse racing, has added Ron Luniewski, a sports, gaming, and entertainment veteran with a proven track record of success and growth, to its executive suite.

Luniewski joins Silks from the gaming world where he established a reputation as a builder, leveraging emerging technology to initiate hyper growth for companies and lead them successfully through massive expansion. Prior to joining the Silks team, Luniewski transformed Xpressbet from a small regional phone operation with 15 employees to a multi-platform juggernaut generating more than $300M in annual revenue and growing the team up to 150 employees by the end of his tenure. Before that, Luniewski was a pioneer in expanding access to horse racing early on, leading the first ever legal online horse gambling website, YouBet.com, as Chief Executive Officer from 1996 to 2002, kickstarting what is now a $7 Billion enterprise.

“Throughout my career, I have looked for ways to employ innovative technology to grow the sport of horse racing, so I was immediately inspired when I came across Game of Silks. Silks is a revolutionary platform that can fundamentally change horse racing by giving a whole new class of fan the ability to participate in this sport. Major players in racing, like the New York Racing Association (NYRA), have already hitched their wagon to Game of Silks, having seen its potential. We’re excited to establish additional partnerships with the racing community as we advance,” said Luniewski.

Despite the current bear market, the Silks executive team continues to expand to meet demand. Game of Silks, the fasting growing metaverse sports game in the space, added Srini Vasan, former DraftKings Vice President of Engineering, in April as the platform’s Chief Technology Officer. Additionally, Silks has secured landmark partnerships and agreements with horseracing titans NYRA, Fox Sports and The Jockey Club while also distributing record-breaking payouts to owners of Silks Horses.

“With the first Game of Silks racing season in full swing, our business is looking to scale rapidly to new users and showcase what’s possible when you marry the timeless tradition of horse racing with blockchain technology. Ron’s experience growing successful companies from start-up status to IPO, adapting and implementing new technology, and his deep industry connections to the global horse racing community are invaluable in any market,” Dan Nissanoff, CEO and co-founder of Silks, said.

How Blockchain Technology Enables Using Online Services Much Safer and Faster

 

Introduction

Blockchain technology has become increasingly popular in recent years due to its ability to provide secure and fast transactions. The technology works by creating a decentralized and tamper-proof ledger, which makes it difficult for hackers to steal data or manipulate transactions. This has led to a wide range of use cases for blockchain technology, including online services such as banking, gambling, and e-commerce.

Blockchain Technology and Online Services

Blockchain technology has several benefits for online services. One of the most significant advantages is the security and privacy that it provides. Blockchain technology allows for secure transactions, which means that users can be assured that their personal and financial information is protected.

Monero and Technological Advancements

Monero is a cryptocurrency that uses blockchain technology to provide users with privacy and security. Monero has several technological advancements that make it stand out from other cryptocurrencies. For example, Monero uses ring signatures to keep transactions private, making it nearly impossible for anyone to trace a transaction back to its source.

Using Monero in Online Casinos

Monero is becoming increasingly popular in the online gambling industry because of its privacy and security features. Monero casinos allow players to deposit and withdraw funds anonymously, which can be especially attractive to players who want to keep their gambling activities private. Monero casinos also provide players with fast transaction speeds, which means that players can start playing their favorite games faster.

Using Monero Safely

While Monero casinos can be a safe and fun way to gamble online, it is essential to use reputable Monero casino sites. Players should research Monero casinos before depositing funds to ensure that they are reputable and safe. Players should also use strong passwords and two-factor authentication to protect their accounts from hackers.

Conclusion

Blockchain technology has transformed the online services industry, providing users with secure and fast transactions. Monero is a cryptocurrency that uses blockchain technology to provide users with privacy and security, making it an attractive option for online gamblers. While Monero casinos can be a safe and fun way to gamble online, it is essential to use reputable Monero casino sites and take steps to protect personal and financial information.
