Stredium, The eSports Metaverse
Stredium Whitepaper, last updated Jul 2021
Abstract
The sports industry was facing challenges long before the pandemic. Yet, COVID-19 changed everything.
The physical dimension of the club contains multiple limitations, the stadium is open only on match days, and its capacity is lower than the size of the community of fans who follow the club from their homes. How to interact with them is still the pending subject of the sport industry.
Most Sports Clubs and Federations don’t have the resources, knowledge and experience to bring innovation to their organisation. Startups, creators and artists don’t have access to potential customers and Investors don’t know the best startups to invest in. As the industry struggles to survive, new technology in sports is needed.
The rise of the digital-native fan forced Sports Clubs to explore more ways of maintaining fan engagement, rewarding fan loyalty and ensuring an ROI for sponsors. Sports Clubs and Brands will need to transition their marketing strategies from online ads to existing in a shared, virtual economy called the “Metaverse”, an alternate digital reality where people play, work, interact and socialise.
Blockchains are a new addition to the industry. Blockchain technology facilitates the emergence of new forms of organisations, which are not only dematerialised but also decentralised (DAO: decentralised autonomous organisation). One of the most interesting features blockchain can provide are something called “non-fungible tokens” (NFT), which can be used to give fans real ownership over collectibles items and digital assets.
Real-life ownership of items gives more power to the fan instead of the companies behind development, one of the essential features of a working metaverse will be the ability to move your avatar and assets from world to world. Digital assets, world-building, or metamarketing will have a real impact on Sports Clubs and Brands.
