LaLiga entered the world of NFT just a year ago with an agreement with Sorare to offer virtual trading cards to all of their players. A year later, LaLiga again reaches an agreement in this sense, but not to produce player cards, but NFTs in the form of animated trading cards that collect the best moments of every day. Goals, saves, defensive moves, assists, skill games… The name of the project, Great Goals in LaLiga. this partner for this Dapper Labs, an old acquaintance among NFT trading platforms.
Its work will be simple: packs available for purchase from October 27 (The waiting list is open for applications in the closed beta.) Each package will include a few key features of the genres mentioned above.
A drop every third Thursday and moments classified by their rarity and importance
Firstly drop — similar to the sale of collectors’ shoes — will include historical moments as well as highlights from Clásico that were played eleven days ago. LaLiga Great Goals includes not only the current season’s collectibles, but also iconic games from the 2005-2006 season.. Thus, Zidane, Fernando Torres, Messi, David Villa, Casillas, Forlán or Puyol are also among the players who can take part in one of the moments played in each pack. there will be a new one drop every third Thursday.
An example of one of the moments (great goals) may appear in packages: João Félix’s goal. Moment is a video that includes the shield shape of these collectibles, the image of the leading player, the date and final result of the match, the video of the game in question and a range of colors adapted to each club.
João Félix is ​​one of four football players that LaLiga Golazos will use as the visible faces for the launch of their first collection items. Others are Ansu Fati, Luka Modric and Marc-André ter Stegen.
Moments are divided into four stages based on their football quality, importance or how iconic they become:
- widespread
- Unusual
- rare
- legendary
Each level will have fewer memories and also distributed copies; this is something that is controlled as it is built on the Flow blockchain. It’s the same chain Dapper uses for similar products in other sports leagues that release very similar products like NBA Top Shot. LaLiga Great Goals has not made this breakdown public, but we can get an approximate idea of ​​its distribution by looking at NBA Top Shot:
Packs will also be split or classified as special based on the probability of obtaining special rarity moments. Other competitions with similar products to Dapper providing the infrastructure are the NFL with NFL All Day or the UFC with the UFC Strike. Despite the NFT nature of this project, they will accept credit card payments to simplify the process.
Collection and also business
Once a player opens a pack and sees what moments they’ve had, they can do two things with them: either collect them (and show them to the world via social media) or put them up for sale. market place where the platform owns, where anyone can buy what other users decide to sell. East market place It will be put into service in November.
Standard packages will be available for less than 10 euros (less than 5 euros in initial beta), with transaction fees of less than one cent per dollar on Flow Blockchain.
The process is very similar in concept and format to the FIFA packs in FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT) mode, which provides EA with over $1.6 billion in annual revenue and counting.
First drop October will coincide with moments from Clásico, but moments from LaLiga could be out of the 2005/2006 season.
Each one drop It will combine current moments with moments from several seasons ago, and the history of the competition leads to the introduction of some special moments on certain dates. For example, goals or saves from classics just before a classic ten or fifteen years ago. Or derbies.
Moments that occur on the playing field between the first whistle and the end of any match since 2005/2006 can occur regardless of a team that was in the Premier League at the time and is no longer present.
The idea of ​​LaLiga Golazos is also to reward specific fans who complete major collections or platform-initiated thematic challenges, as they have already done at NBA Top Shots. Rewards can range from more collectibles to your favorite club jerseys and stadium experiences that result in attending a match.
