Sportcash One — First Formula 1 NFT Challenge — BUY YOUR NFT TICKET AND JOIN THE CHALLENGE
The market for sports content based nonfungible tokens or NFTs, is expected to hit USD 2 billion in 2022, according to a report from Deloitte Global. The report, titled ‘From trading cards to digital video: Sports NFTs kick sports memorabilia into the digital age’, says that in 2022, platforms and rights creators are likely to continue testing different ownership models to determine the optimal balance of stoking consumer demand and maintaining intellectual property rights (IPR) that respect existing third-party rights over the underlying digital assets. “So far, the offer of limited IPR within sports NFTs has not dampened appetite, suggesting that demand may well be driven by the ability to demonstrate status: Scarcity drives inherent value in and of itself,” says the December 2021 report.
SportCash One AG, has introduced a sports NFT game based on Belgium GP Formula 1 race. The challenge is that participants buy NFT tickets to predict the winner of the real life race and win prizes accordingly. There will be three different team NFT tickets — one for each team of the challenge. Tickets can be bought in the Sportcash One NFT marketplace from 12th August, 2022, 6 PM CET till 27th August, 6 PM CET. Each ticket will be priced at USD 5. One NFT ticket, La Rossa, will represent Team Ferrari, one NFT ticket, The Bull, will represent Team RedBull and one NFT ticket, Silver Arrow, represents Team Mercedes.
NFTS are programmable unique cryptographic tokens and digital contracts that represent uniqueness and authenticity, as opposed to other cryptocurrencies which are fungible. Sportcash One’s NFTs are powered by its Sportcash One Token (SCOneX). The Switzerland-headquartered company, says that its ecosystem boasts a NFT marketplace, social sponsorship network, a digital wallet, tokenization-as-a-service (TAAS), NFT-based primitive for trading sporting assets, and a multi-vendor shop where brands, shops, customers, and athletes participate together in its vertically integrated ecosystem optimized for engagement and shared ownership. Sportscash One uses the Waves platform — this allows its users to build applications, create and distribute new cryptocurrencies.

AI: What made Sportcash One base the challenge on the Belgium GP Formula 1?
Moretto: The Belgium GP Formula 1 race track, the Spa, is among Formula 1 drivers’ most loved tracks, with its mix of long straights and challenging fast corners allowing them to push their cars to the edge of their capabilities — if it’s dry, that is. The size of the track and the nature of Belgian weather means it can sometimes be raining on one part of the track and dry on another, meaning grip can vary from one corner to the next. Keep an eye on the thrilling Eau Rouge, arguably the most famous sequence of corners in the world, as the drivers flick left, right and then up the hill through Raidillon.
AI: So tell us how exactly the challenge will work?
Moretto: It’s quite simple — first you have to analyse and choose your favourite team. Then you buy the NFT of your favourite team. Then, on the day of the real-life race, you have to check the result of the race and if you win, we will send the prizes directly into your wallet.

The total prizes will be shared within all the NFT wallets winners. An additional Prize of 10K SCOneX tokens will be shared with all the NFT team winners This challenge will have three NFT tickets.
