SportsIcon Previews The Sports Metaverse with Legendary Athletes
SportsIcon (https://sportsicon.com/) the NFT platform for Sports NFTs today announced today that it is planning to launch The Sports Metaverse, the world's first virtual world specifically focused on sports.
At the 36th annual Game Developers' Conference (GDC) in San Francisco today, Dr. Dave Ranyard announced the unveiling of a new project by SportsIcon. The Sports Metaverse is a digital world devoted entirely to sports. For the first time in history the biggest sports stars, brands and clubs are together in one place. Built by SportsIcon and industry veterans from Sony, Doom, Playstation Home and Nvidia, Sports Metaverse allows you to trade NFTs, buy and develop land, interact with iconic sportspeople in 3D and visit stadiums in the metaverse.
Ranyard, who is Executive Producer at SportsIcon and a leading figure in virtual reality in the metaverse, is co-creating The Sports Metaverse, which has just revealed its new website.
The NFTs include a masterclass offered by leading sports icons. Stars like Romelu Lukaku, the Belgian football professional who plays for the national team and as a striker for the English Premier League club Chelsea, offer unique insights into their experience and the secrets of their training success. These include interviews about the star's journey - what made them who they are today, and videos of them on the training field. Lukaku has also been volumetrically captured as part of the project and will appear in the sports metaverse in 3D:
“In the Sports Metaverse, I'm going to coach you on how I take a penalty – one of the hardest moments in my job. It's not just about performing physically. It's about concentration and performing mentally. There's a lot of pressure and you only have one chance. I want you to know what it feels like to be in a 1-on-1 training session with me – to be a professional football player,” Lukaku commented
SportsIcon CEO and Co-Founder Chris Worsey previously built a number of EdTech startups including Coursematch, one of the first movers in the trend of edtech companies aimed at democratising education and offering borderless access online.
“The Sports Metaverse is the next evolution in the fan and sports relationship. There has been a tectonic change in consumer behaviour accelerated by Covid and web3. We want to take the fan to the heart of sport, allowing them to interact with their favourite sports stars and brands, buy land next to them and connect with them in entirely new ways,” added Worsey.
SportsIcon is backed by rapper turned investor Nas, Dapper Labs, Dapper Labs CEO Roham Gharegozlou, Youtube Founder Chad Hurley, Hedera and Reserve Founder Andrew Masanto and ex NBA star Andrew Bogut.
Besides Lukaku, a series of sports stars and brands are lined up for The Sports Metaverse, with agreements underway with leading athletes from soccer, tennis, MMA, basketball, and baseball. A public land sale for the Sports Metaverse will take place in June.

Introducing Raptor City – Two vibrant collections, in attempt to bring cutting-edge and excitement to the NFT Space.
Raptor City team is pleased to announce its vibrant collections. It is a sprawling urban playground where every raptor has a unique story to tell. From the bustling piers of Brighthelm Bay to the glittering skylines of Seven Swords, there's never a dull moment wherever you choose to spend your time in this lively City.

Within Raptor City there is a rich history, and the team will continue to tell its stories across a wide range of media in the near future.
They are inviting creative of all kinds to collaborate in the creation of an expanded universe. To facilitate this, they have created the Raptor City Story Bible - an encyclopedic guide to the history of Raptor City. Using the freedom afforded by NFTs, the aim is to maximise creativity while directly rewarding those collaborators.
Raptor City comprises of the following NFT collections - Clever Girls and Raptor City Rascals.
Clever Girls:
Clever Girls is a bold, striking collection featuring 5555 unique raptor avatars, algorithmically generated using over 200 hand-drawn assets created by Fat Baby NFT.
The project launched on the 1st of September 2021 and soon sold out! Since then, they have expanded their team and are currently hard at work on several cross-media projects to broaden the Clever Girls universe.
They have also collaborated with twelve hugely talented artists who have all reimagined Clever Girls in their own unique, distinctive styles. This groundbreaking concept is giving artists in the space a platform to bring their own Clever girls 1/1 NFTs to life.
All the gamers out there will love “Clever Girls Gone Wild”. A popular interactive game that allows holders to use their NFTs to play alongside other Clever Girls members.
Hidden among the collection are 9 Legendary items, custom-arranged to feature ‘impossible' trait combinations.
Raptor City Rascals:
The second project featuring the aptly named ‘Rascals' is bringing a community for the creators out there.
Made from over 160 hand-drawn assets, randomly combined to create avatars of varying rarity, these ‘Rascals' come in three forms: Organic, Mech, and Shade.
The collection comprises 7000 Organics, 2000 Mechs, and 1000 Shades.
Holding a Raptor City NFT also provides access to the Black Market: a monthly pop-up shop offering everything from free mints and POAPs to limited-edition 1/1s and physical merchandise. In partnership with other creators, they hope to expand their offering to include a wide range of utility and benefits available exclusively to their holders.
There is still time to mint a Raptor City Rascal - https://www.raptorcity.io/rascals/
Mint price – 0.05 ETH
Raptor City is a place. The team want to take you there. They are exploring several options for bringing Raptor City to life, and look forward to exploring the city as a fully-realized metaverse virtual space in the not-too-distant future.

SingSing Announces New NFT Marketplace to Harness the Power of SuperFan with Music NFTs
SingSing, a community-driven platform that connects Superfans with their favorite singers, launched music NFTs. The platform is set to revolutionize the music industry and make it decentralized and more accessible to fans. The Singsing NFTs would become a medium of exchange as well as a direct form of interaction for artists and fans.

According to the BPI/ERA report 2020, though SuperFans only accounted for more than 10% of singers' fandom population, their spending contributed up to 34% of the total music revenue. For example, after many attempts, Quan Nguyen - a 23 year old. boy, with a big smile on his face, cheerfully held a cap that was freshly signed by his idol Lil' Knight, a famous rapper that Quan had always admired. He just bought this cap for $25, which is 5 times the price of a similar cap on the market. To him, this was very special. “This cap will be displayed at the best corner of my studio, so that I can always feel LK's presence by my side” – Quan excitedly said. Quan's story is not rare, SuperFans like him are all around the music world.
These SuperFans have a great power that few people pay attention to. They make a perfect fit with NFTs and become an indispensable factor of this market. The NFT market has recently seen a tremendous annual growth of 4000% during 2021, surpassing 25 billion USD, cited by Reuters from DappRadar. Remarkably, NFT Avatar and NFT Collectibles, which are SingSing's target segments, are accounting for 70% of this total volume.
“We see this as a big new opportunity, which can be the new Internet to help the singers earn more revenue streams” - said Lil' Knight, one of the first rappers to partner with SingSing.
SuperPass NFT: the passport for SuperFan
SingSing is building a blockchain platform to serve various SuperFan and singer communities, creating new opportunities for interactions, rewards, and earnings.
The key product is the SuperPass NFT - the powerful passport to enter the SingSing world. With this SuperPass, SuperFans can access private VIP areas with special privileges: private chat rooms, private liveshows, exclusive contents, special merchandise, VIP tickets or join the frequent singing contests to win prizes. Superpass holders can also enjoy many other benefits offered by the platform including staking, voting, NFT and token airdrops, lucky lottery, breeding and more.
Besides, SuperFans can buy and trade other types of music NFTs on the platform: Investment NFT (co-invest with singers for the upcoming music projects via micro-investment model), Content NFT (made from music audio, videos), Experience NFT (NFT to enjoy unique experiences offered by the singers such as a VIP ticket, a private dinner party, or a slot to appear in the next music video).
Every NFT on the SingSing platform is verified and co-published by the singers. 33 big names in South East Asia with more than 30 million followers have signed up exclusively with SingSing. Legendary singers Nhu Quynh, Tuan Hung, top rappers LK, Bray, DatManiac, Seachains, Phao, Hieuthuhai, famous singers Ngoc Khue, Khanh Linh are some of the pioneers, with more regional singers joining soon.
The award-winning team with 20 years of experience
The founders of SingSing have been working in a team for almost 20 years. Together they built a series of booming technology, community and music startups with millions of users, including Nhacso.net, the first and biggest online music startup in Vietnam, NOI.vn - the biggest dating community with over 1 million users. They also founded Okara, a leading online karaoke network with 1,400,000 user base and is constantly adding 500,000 new members every year. All of them are being integrated into SingSing.
The founders are the technology champions. They proved themself in the past with the champion cup in Asia-Pacific ICT (APICTA) award, and recently won the champion cup in Community-2-Blockchain Hackathon Vietnam in 2021 with SingSing.
SingSing is backed by leading investors in the blockchain world, including HUB Global, TomoChain, Kyber Ventures and Funverse.
"Music is always a big global market, we believe SingSing will contribute to the growth of blockchain to gain mass adoption. The team has proved their ability to build a massive community. We strongly support the project and work closely with them to help bring great values to the community." said Long Vuong - founder of TomoChain, advisor of SingSing.
About SING token
SingSing has a native token called SingSing token (“$SING”). $SING will be used for a number of purposes including voting, breeding, NFT trading, rank improvement, governance and staking for rewards. Users will need $SING to enter the higher community zones and singing contests.
Users may earn $SING and NFTs by completing the quests in the SingSing platform or by winning the singing contests. SingSing's philosophy is “Sing together, win together”, which will make everyone happy when joining the community.
