SPORTSPODIUM: THE NEW ERA OF BLOCKCHAIN BASED SPORTS COMMUNITY.

As with anything that becomes so popular, there’s an aspect which has come to dominate the modern game, that being: Money. The influx of money into the sport has-to all intents and purposes-dampened its original spirit of fair play. Corruption is rife in the world of sports and it’s doing lasting damages to it. We have over time see reasons where talents are been wasted and never came to recognition due to the poorly used funds and the non flow of money because its centrally controlled by unknown spectators who don’t know the importance of such talents and probably its existence or their refusal to developing such talents channeling everything to corruption. As a popular saying goes, corruption is a disease that must be cured from the society. It was upon this the magnificent team of Sportspodium came together to create a platform whereby such talents won’t only be recognized amongst clubs, schools and countries, but that it will also be developed. Sportspodium believe in transparency which is the key to fair and thriving communities.

When one talks about transparency in blockchain technology in sports, you talk about Sportspodium. The intelligent teams of Sportspodium saw the importance of privacy and security of sports lover’s details and information. The blockchain technology was induced into the system also so as to unlock undervalued and previously un-monetized aspects in sports. It has successfully eliminated the central control of sports activity and talents giving users the benefits of participating while earning if such users are only been dedicated to the system. It makes fairness, merit and equal opportunity the benchmark for competition as well as reward. Its creates an open and engaging platform for sports all over the globe to share in the excitement of sports and fitness. Also Sportspodium specialty can’t be complete if one doesn’t talk about its inter-connectivity, whereby any sports application can inherently join the ecosystem from any part of the world via Sporspodium platform’s interface thereby initiating the 3rd party userbases. Not also to forget the smart contract for evenly and fair distribution of tokens which is set to be maintained within the ecosystem. When it comes to fun and excitement, sportspodium is also adherent of that fact as it has different element that will not only thrill users but excitement as well, learning about their sports while they earn simply by diligently uploading their sports data.
