Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) are digital representations of a smart contract deployed onto a blockchain. NFTs can be represented as images, videos, audio recordings or simple text. What makes an NFT so unique is the non-fungibility, meaning ‘can’t be changed’. Some NFTs have no additional purpose other than being artwork, or representing artwork. Each Athlete’s NFT created by STADIO serves a real-world purpose & has built-in gaming utility. NFTs can be purchased & traded in open marketplaces & true ownership can be proven.

Polygon (previously known as MATIC) is a blockchain network. Its purpose is to help scale the Ethereum blockchain by handling transactions on behalf of Ethereum users. Polygon is commonly known as a Layer-2 blockchain, meaning it supports a Layer-1 blockchain (such as Ethereum). Technology is always evolving & as the decentralised markets continue to mature, STADIO will evolve with it.

The future of play-to-earn gaming is here. STADIO LEAGUEZ represents a new way to earn for sports professionals & sports fans. The LEAGUEZ is a collection of virtual tournaments that allows NFT holders to participate in play-to-earn events & earn real-world rewards. Each sport & every professional athlete globally will be represented in the LEAGUEZ. This new Web3 economy allows all stakeholders to share in the value being created by the STADIO ecosystem.

STADIO represents the Web3 ecosystem for Sports, Media & Gaming. From curated collectibles to management tools & from play-to-earn experiences to digital currencies; STADIO is building technology for the next generation of fans, athletes & broader key stakeholders.

As you are reading this, the Metaverse is evolving into a decentralised collective of virtual worlds. In 1932, the term 'Virtual Reality' appeared for the first time. In 1945, an American engineer proposed a concept for the 'Memex', which was later credited for aiding the emergence of the World Wide Web by Tim-Berners Lee, who created the Internet.

The first recorded use of the word Metaverse is in Neal Stephenson's 1992 novel, Snow Crash. In the novel, a character called Hiro moves in & out of a place called the Metaverse, which appears to be a small-scale urban landscape created via code where users can have lifelike experiences.

The word 'Metaverse' is a portmanteau of the Greek term Meta & the English word Universe. Meta is Greek & is popularly used as a prefix to mean after or beyond, a use that continues on in the English language.

Simply put, the Metaverse is a network of 3D virtual worlds that can facilitate lifelike virtual interactions.

You can purchase NFTs from many original & secondary marketplaces. STADIO LEAGUEZ NFTs can be purchased in a number of ways.
