Community Expands Usability Sorare Fantasy Football

The community of fantasy football game Sorare is seriously expanding on the usability of the Sorare football trading cards. Starting from next month SorareData will organize an 11-card tournament. Players with the best performing team during an entire month, will win prizes.

Sorare's fantasy football game lets players create teams using five cards. The Sorare community website SorareData is leveling up the competitive challenge with eleven cards, one entire month of gameplay and the option for four substitutions.

Players can pick their own tactics, for example choosing five defenders or only three. Every game week players need to pick their team. Tournament registration will open up on December 29th. The competition will commence on January 8th.

Explaining interoperability

Interoperability refers to the ability of computer systems to exchange and use each others information. Gamers often talk about cross-platform gaming, which is a form of interoperability. However, in blockchain gaming we refer to the ability to use individual game assets in multiple games.

By opening an account on Sorare, players will automatically get an Ethereum address. All acquired cards get stored in this address and are therefore one hundred percent owned by the player. The card-owners can use their cards on the Sorare website and join the weekly competitions, or they can sell them on the open marketplace.

Because players have full control over their wallets, they can also connect their wallet to other projects utilizing blockchain technology. They could for example show their collection inside Cryptovoxels, or - in this case - use their cards on SorareData.

What is Sorare?

Sorare is a fantasy football game powered by blockchain technology. The project also has support from game publisher Ubisoft through the company’s entrepreneurs lab. The fantasy football game is enjoying lots of hype in recent months. Consistently the game is among the most popular applications on the Ethereum blockchain. In addition the company received a four million dollar investment to push the game forward, while signing FC Barcelona star Pique as a spokesperson and adding Real Madrid to the game.

Blockchain technology introduces actual scarcity to digital cards, so these cards have a limited supply. Players can use the cards they’ve bought to create a fantasy team. Each card represents a real player. Based on the performance of that player on the actual pitch, the card holders will earn points. Every week the teams with the most points will earn new cards as a reward. The cheapest cards generally sell for a couple of dollars, while the most wanted ones go for well over a thousand dollars a piece. Join the game!
