OpenSea has 2.4 million listings under sports.

Most are going to $0.00.

8 web3 sports projects you should be paying attention to:
@LinksDAO

The modern golf and leisure club, reimagining the country club.

Raised $11 million through an initial NFT sale and focusing on buying a top-100 public course.

Provides other benefits to holders, including community and discounts.

Steph & Seth Curry are members.
@knightsofdegen

The NFT project built for sports bettors.

It’s gone from a 0.15 Ξ floor to 0.5 Ξ in 2 months.

Led by an awesome leadership team and fueled by a great community, it’s a project to watch.

They plan to build an entertainment empire.
XGames DAO

With ESPN accepting bids for the XGames, a DAO as part of new ownership makes sense:

• Include the hyper-engaged extreme sport community
• Incentivize & reward biggest fans
• Unlock new earning potential for athletes

@KrauseHouseDAO

An epic experiment: a DAO to purchase and operate an NBA team.

Questions that need to be answered:

• Can they raise the necessary $$$?
• Will NBA owners even allow it?

The vision:
Utility Mics by @BusterScher

Each episode of The Buster Show means 2 Utility Mics are released — one to the guest and one to the public.

Buster has already announced benefits, and has more planned:

• 5% google ad rev share from episode
• Airdrops from other select projects
@BALLERZ_NFT

A basketball inspired collection, only in Season 1.

The roadmap includes:

• Access to future seasons
• Experiences in the real world
• Gameplay leveraging your baller’s traits

Season 1 included 30 men’s and 12 women’s teams.

Sporting Crypto by @PetBerisha

A weekly newsletter at the intersection of sports & crypto.

One of my favorite reads: sportingcrypto.substack.com
@zed_run

A digital horse racing game where users own, breed and race digital racehorses with players from around the world.

The stats are staggering:

• 191k items
• 51k owners
• 44k Ξ traded

The team has massive plans for 2022: community.zed.run/2021/12/31/zed-run-the-future-2022/
@AustralianOpen Art Ball

The Balls are linked to a small square on the tournament's court.

If the winning shot in the final lands in your NFT’s square, you gets the physical ball.

How’d it go?

6776 NFT balls sold out (~$250 each) in 30 min — $1.7M before royalties.
On a larger scale you have:

@nbatopshot
@sorare

Even Fanatics, Nike, & Adidas are actively getting into the space.
There are other projects that will make it (and these may not).

But these are the ones that caught my eye.

None of this is investment advice, do your own research.

What do you think should be added?
