30 Nov LEVERADE kicks the board by being the first one to deliver digital trophies at a World Cup
This historic event for the sports industry took place in Mexico during the first Baseball World Cup5, thanks to an agreement between LEVERADE and the World Baseball and Softball Confederation (WBSC) to deliver digital trophies to the winning team, MVPs, best coach, and more.
The WBSC is the governing organization for all national team baseball and softball competitions worldwide, including World Cups and the Olympic Games.
The WBSC Baseball5 World Cup was held November 7-13 at El Zocalo in Mexico City. The best nations in the world competed for the title of world champion in the WBSC’s first five-on-five urban discipline.
Cuba was the winner of the Baseball5 World Cup and the first nation to receive a digital award in NFT format.
The agreement between LEVERADE and WBSC has been possible thanks to LEVERADE’s unique implementation of blockchain technology in sports.
LEVERADE has innovated in the market by being the first sports software company to create official NFTs trophies and medals endorsed by a Sports Federation.
NFT technology authenticates the digital trophies, providing a certificate of uniqueness and ownership to the athlete, recorded in the blockchain forever.
Also, awarding digital trophies is a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to using physical trophies (with the consumption of raw materials that entails).
The delivery of the first digital trophy at a World Cup is a big step toward the future of sports. It demonstrates the utilities and possibilities that blockchain technology can bring to the industry.
