Soccerverse

Soccerverse is a blockchain football management MMO in which players can take on various different roles in the world of the most popular sport. When playing this on-chain title, you can take on the role of a manager, but you could also be a player agent or a shareholder referred to as an “influencer”. By being a manager, you get to create lineups and tactics throughout the season, while player agents earn a percentage when their player is transferred to another club based on their share in the player. Influencers are the shareholders of a club who have the power to vote and make various decisions in the best interests of the club, such as hiring a new manager. This makes each club a fractionalized DAO you can own shares in to participate in governance and earn from the club’s performance in the process.

Soccerverse launched into its final public open beta in March 2024, featuring more than 120k+ football players and 3500+ clubs across 90+ countries.
