Indian sports buffs can now vote for their favourite team’s jersey using blockchain

• Sportzchain is one of India's first blockchain-based sports fan engagement platforms.
• Fans can impact a team's sporting decisions like clothes, training, schedules etc.
• The native token of the platform $SPN will be minted in August 2022.

Sportzchain, India's blockchain-based fan engagement platform, has launched the alpha phase of its decentralised fan tokens platform.

Fans now have the power to make their opinions count, be it on deciding jerseys for the team's training sessions or other elements. The users can vote on binding/non-binding polls for two Kabaddi and one Cricket team, to express approval or disapproval on team decisions. The native token of the platform $SPN will be minted in August 2022, whose possession will be necessary to gain access to the Sportzchain fan tokens.

"This is the first time in the India arena that a platform is enabling fans to impact a team's sporting decisions like training, jersey design, playing schedules, etc. At present, we are planning to induct three polls. Soon, we will launch fan tokens so that they can join this tokenized membership of their favourite team’s sporting decision and also partake in financial gains,” said Siddharth Jaiswal, founder and CEO of Sportzchain.

Sportzchain, founded in March, will provide fans with an implementable poll platform that ensures their involvement in a team's growth journey.

Different from a Twitter poll

Fan tokens and the blockchain-powered fan engagement platform differ significantly from Twitter polls. Twitter polls can impact non-team decisions. In contrast, blockchain-powered fan engagement platforms allow sports fans to get involved and influence team decisions directly, with the blockchain element providing authenticity and accountability.

Sportzchain currently has the Kabbadi teams of Dabbang Delhi and Tamil Thailaivas and Iceland Cricket team under their binding poll belt.
