Strykz - A Crypto-Token For Everyone Who Loves Football

in #blockchain6 years ago (edited)

Introduction:
Football (or soccer) is probably the most famous sport around the world. With over 3,5 billion fans around the globe it is one of the biggest industries with the most supporters in the world. No wonder games like FIFA or Pro Evolution Soccer are played daily by millions of fans either on the PC or on the consoles.
With the current FIFA World Cup 2018 in Russia ongoing, I thought it would be a great idea to introduce a new project on the blockchain for all football fans out there. The project is called "Strykz".

What Is Strykz?
Strykz is a cryptocurrency token for all the football fans, which builds on the already existing fantasy football game called "Football-Stars". Check out the game here: https://football-stars.com/
The game is powered by the sports magazine "Kicker", which is very famous here in Germany. (PS: I'm a Kicker reader myself for many years). On Football-Stars you can build your dream team of football players and compete with others on weekly football events or tournaments to win Strykz tokens. Additionally to earning tokens for beeing successful in the game, people who are actively contributing to the community for example by creating new challenges or organizing events, will be rewarded with tokens. Strykz tokens can be used either for specific features in the game, such as unlocking the VIP status for special accesses, trading for football goods or simply can be exchanged for other tokens outside the game, giving you the opportunity to not only have fun with playing the game, but also earn money when successful.

How Does Football-Stars Work?
Football-Stars is currently focusing on the European football league and the Bundesliga, with in the future more leagues to come. With an existing official Bundesliga license, showing that the project is fully serious, Strykz aims to combine fantasy football with the blockchain technology. Players can select for each game a number of football-players to manage their team. With real time data of the performance from the football-players, for example when they are playing their match in the Bundesliga, each player gets a determined score based on his performance of the match. Based on the players you have chosen, your team performance will add up. The player, which has chosen the best team with the overall highest performance score wins the contest and can collect the largest amount of Strykz-Tokens from the pool. The application for Football-Stars is not only available for PC, but also for Android and iOS.

The ICO:
Strykz is currently doing their ICO (Initial Coin Offering) in order to raise funds for development, marketing and operation costs. In exchange for Ethereum or Bitcoin, "STRY" tokens can be acquired. Here are some information regarding the tokensale:

  • The public sale starts on the 27th June and ends on the 29th July
  • 1 STRY is worth 0.0001 ETH
  • Softcap is set at 4,000,000 USD and Hardcap is set at 20,000,000 USD
  • Currently accepted payment method are ETH and BTC with more to come

The Team Behind Strykz:
Below you can find the team working behind the Strykz project. From left to right you can see the CFO Hong Thieu, then the founder and CEO Dirk Weyel and lastly the Co-founder and CTO Christian Szymanski. To get more information regarding the team, you can head to the website https://www.strykz.io/ and check out their profiles on linkedin.

The Roadmap:
Below you can find the roadmap for Strykz. The Football-Stars 2.0 with token functionalities is expected to be launched this year between Q3 and Q4. For the first quarter of next year, Strykz aims to launch on the asian market.

Why Getting On The Asian Market Is A Big Deal?
The asian market is huge. Especially China, but also Japan and Korea have a lot of football fans and people there love to play online games to compete with each other. Furthermore they love blockchain and most of the trading volume on crypto exchanges is coming from asian countries. Asia is in general more open for blockchain adoption than the rest of the world (except for the current situation of some restrictions in China). Entering this market in asia will bring a lot of exposure to this project and it help to grow.

Why Will Strykz Be Successfull?

  • They have an existing game platform "Football-Stars" already established
  • They have an official Bundesliga (Germany League) license
  • They have Luis Figo, the famous ex portugese football player as ambassador
  • They will expand onto the asian market in 2019
  • They have a great team behind the project
  • They are the first soccer-based-game on the blockchain
  • No language barrier, since sports connects all kinds of culture

My Opinion:
Strykz is a super interesting project blockchain for football fans, which looks like a lot of fun. With their already established game "Football-Stars", the project already has a great basis on which they can develop on. Furthermore the great partnerships with Kicker and more will give the team a great boost regarding exposure and new user registrations. Overall, as a football fan, I'm very excited about this project. So stay tuned for updates regarding the Strykz project, which I will post (for example a tutorial).

Very cool. I love fantasy football. Gonna check it out to earn some tokens. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Great to hear! Good luck mate!

Ich love fantasy football! I think Strykz is a great project, which not only brings up a lot of fun, but also a lot of rewards if you have knowledge in soccer.

Yeah, you can earn quite good money if you are good at it.

Cool, a football game on the blockchain. Sadly my knowledge is quite poor, so I probably won't be successful by playing. My husband on the other hand is seems to be an expert, as he follows the Bundesliga and the top teams around the world. I will introduce to him this project. Thanks a lot!

Thanks for your feedback. Haha, surely introduce the game to your husband. If he is a football fan, he will love the game and you both can profit from it, if he can put his knowledge into the game.

I will thanks. :)

thank you for the review! I am already playing fantasy teams for above 10 years and I think this might bring some new features to the whole game mechanics as well.

@sebo58 cool, great to hear that. 10 years is quite a lot of experience. Hopefully you can benefit from your knowledge and earn some STRY-Tokens. I wish you good luck!

Sounds like a lot of fun!

Have fun then^^

What a great fantasy football project. I've been playing fantasy football for years, while earning no money on it. Now I even have a chance to win tokens and exchange them for money or goodies. Sounds super interesting. Thanks for sharing the Strykz project with me!

Great to hear that, good luck mate!

Update: The project sadly did not reach its softcap. Therefore all contributions will be reverted back to your wallet and the ICO is canceled. The fantasy football game still will be ongoing as it also did before. So you can join that if you want to.
