NFTs are one such application which allows, for the first time in history, for fans and collectors to collect digital media. There are many other applications ranging from gaming, esports, ticketing, merchandising, etc, which are already being built on this, which will change the way traditional businesses are operated. Zebi along with Smart Cricket, which worked on this opportunity as early as 2018, is proud to be one of the key contributors to this project”. Atul Srivastava, Co-Founder – Cricket Foundation added

“Cricket is a sport that is evolving at a remarkable pace, with its growing global appeal the democratization of cricket is inevitable. With the continuous addition of players, partners and members, now fans across the world will have access to the widest collection of cricket NFTs offering them a chance to own and represent the priceless moments. The marketplace will soon launch gamification experiences to fans and users as well creating a unique platform for fan engagement”.
