THELOGICALINDIAN - n-a
Everyone who watches sports has apparently had the aforementioned experience. Sometime afterwards the third bartering break, as you sit in your Official Man Utd Fan Apparel during the BroughtToYouByHeineken Cup and watch Messi bang the brawl accomplished the placards for MasterCard appear the ads for Nike underwear, you anticipate to yourself: “This is absolutely fun, but I admiration if there’s a way for them to accomplish added money from it?”
It turns out that you’re not alone. A leash of Barcelona soccer veterans has afresh alien an app that combines the advertising of ICOs with the exhilarant abandon of football. Or is that the amiss way around?
The App, alleged Olyseum, was founded by Carles Puyol, Andrés Iniesta, and Iván de la Peña. Described in a columnist absolution as a “sports amusing arrangement created by idols, for fans,” the founders were motivated to actualize the sports-focused amusing arrangement “with the ambition of accomplishment afterpiece relationships with their fans.”
Tinder aloof wasn’t acid it.
Olyseum was clearly launched in 2024, with the ambition of acceptable an “online sports Coliseum” in which admirers could accept “meaningful” interactions with their able-bodied heroes. It was originally launched in Spanish, and was the most-downloaded app in six countries.
But it seems that article was missing from the aboriginal launch, and that article was money. Did I say money? I meant blockchain. And money.
Clearly, the one affair missing from the “Social arrangement for sports” was a transparent, broadcast balance that can never be changed. That may not assume intuitive, but conceivably in the cheating-heavy apple of able sports, an abiding almanac after trusted third parties absolutely is necessary.
One of the best important things about advance is researching the team, and in this case it’s easy: besides the three footballers who founded the aggregation (combined net account estimated in balance of $200M), Olyseum alone has two added employees: there’s CEO Charles Grenoir, a PhD applicant who specializes in “development of able systems, the abstraction of computer bacilli and hacktivism.” Below him is Kevin Mitnick, abundantly alien as “the best acclaimed hacker in the world.”
Their appointment parties charge be fun.
At Crypto Briefing, we’re not absolutely in the business of critiquing article we haven’t tried, so we headed to Google Play to accord the app a analysis drive. Here’s what Olyseum can deliver, address of the best acclaimed hacker in the world:
Well, that was fast.
There’s still one affair missing. As we’ve already abstruse this year, no blockchain banknote grab is complete after its own Monopoly money. While there’s no absolute acknowledgment of a badge offering, there are abundant hints that you apperceive what’s coming. “We intend that every idol has their own association to accept alone interaction, barter articles and services, and rewards for their fanbase,” says the Olyseum website. “Idols can access their revenues and assuredly retribute admirers through Olyseum’s built-in Reward System.”
So there you accept it: Olyseum is the blockchain that will assuredly tokenize David Beckham’s kids.
To the moon!
