For too many reasons to count, people love <\/em>to collect things. Whatever it is, if you can get it, someone is in the business of collecting it. However, not everyone is passionate about stuffing entire rooms \u2014 or crypto wallets \u2014 with massive collections without a clear-cut way to interact with them in mind.<\/p>\n In the case of NFTs, that experience is doubly true. Interactivity with NFTs is often limited to what its creator intended. In most cases, especially outside of the blockchain gaming arena, that translates to NFT utility. So what if there was an NFT collectible designed with <\/em>interactivity and play in mind? Answer: This is what Sorare aims to do.<\/p>\n Wonder what would happen if you could meaningfully interact with your NBA Top Shot NFTs? Besides trading them, of course. Sorare hopes to realize that scenario for sports collectible enthusiasts throughout Web3 \u2014 seamlessly integrating the trappings of fantasy sports leagues with NFT collecting.<\/p>\n In Sorare, users play as general managers of \u201cfantasy\u201d professional sports teams, building them out with NFT cards representing a sport\u2019s active roster of athletes. It\u2019s not that<\/em> kind of fantasy if you were expecting an experience akin to a pro-athlete version of the Pok\u00e9mon trading card game. This is less of a \u201cgame\u201d game and more of an interactive experience intended to deepen a sports fan\u2019s enjoyment of a season. As such, the core gameplay loop largely revolves around managing a virtual team, and competing against other users for points to see who was able to construct the statistically strongest team.<\/p>\n Through its unique format, Sorare provides sports fans with an experience that combines two of the biggest hobbies built on top of professional sports leagues: fantasy leagues and trading cards.<\/p>\n Instead of acquiring players for fantasy teams via a draft, users do so via the acquisition of special NFT cards. Since these cards double as NFTs, player performance can be logged in real-time, and is used as the basis for each player\u2019s Player Score (PS) on any given day. This is calculated based on the statistical figures of each athlete while they\u2019re out there actually playing the sport in the real world. Additionally, users can opt to further push the statistical value of the cards they have using Card Scores (CS), which dole out bonuses, potentially increasing any given athlete\u2019s PS enough to lift a user over the edge and into a favorable position.<\/p>\nWhat is Sorare?<\/h2>\n
