1. Executive Summary

Sport Blocks is a Web3 platform designed to revolutionize the relationship between athletes, fans, and social impact. Through the use of blockchain technology, specifically Starknet, it offers athletes a new, decentralized and sustainable revenue stream while allowing fans to connect with their sports heroes in a direct and meaningful way.

The platform fosters a social business model, where each interaction builds the athlete's legacy, funds traceable social causes, and educates users on new technologies.

The Sport Blocks ecosystem returns power and prominence to athletes: they control their narrative, monetize their image without intermediaries, and mobilize their community around social projects. In turn, fans gain access to interactive experiences, exclusive content, and digital rewards, all within an accessible and educational Web3 experience.

2. Vision, Mission and Purpose

Vision: To be the leading platform at the intersection of elite sport, Web3 technology, and social impact, redefining the way athletes build and share their legacy.

Mission: To empower athletes around the world to monetize their athletic journey, connect directly with their fans, and fund social causes through fair, traceable, and accessible digital tools.

Purpose: To democratize sports and social patronage through decentralized technology, returning the spotlight to those who inspire with their effort and values: the athletes.

3. Sport Blocks as a Web3 Sports Platform

Sport Blocks is a platform built on Starknet , a second-layer network on Ethereum that enables fast, low-cost, and secure transactions. Through an accessible interface built in Cairo, it enables a seamless, cross-platform native experience.

Digital Tokens and Legacy Cards

Each athlete creates their Legacy Card , an evolving digital token that acts as an NFT.

It includes:

Biographical data and achievements.

Multimedia galleries.

Access to exclusive experiences.

Link to social impact projects.

Dynamic rarities based on your performance.

These cards can be purchased by fans using fiat or crypto, exchanged on the platform's marketplace, and organized into themed albums.

4. Returning Power to the Athletes

Sport Blocks proposes an athlete-centric governance and monetization model :

Each card sale allocates a percentage directly to the athlete and a social project selected by them.

The athlete maintains control over their DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization), card issuance, and validation of fan-proposed projects.

Their sporting history is immortalized in artistic and customizable digital formats.

5. Social Impact: A Sports Social Business

Sport Blocks operates as an impact company with transparency and traceability in the use of funds, directly supporting social projects.

Fan-Driven Projects

The platform allows fans to propose projects linked to athletes:

Community events.

Works in sports facilities.

Collaborative content (documentaries, books, NFTs).

These projects are funded through smart contracts, with delivery milestones and oversight by the athlete's DAO. Contributors are rewarded with NFTs and recognition.

Community Gallery and Governance

Users can contribute multimedia content to historical sports sites.

They participate in key project voting and decisions (participatory governance).
