24/08/2021 FC Nantes partner with Golden Goal as NFT platform launches on Tezos

 

Golden Goals – a football club NFT merchandising platform – has launched on the Tezos network.

As part of the announcement, Golden Goals has revealed its latest prominent club partnership is the Ligue 1 side FC Nantes which represents North-West France and has one of the most impressive records of any French football club with eight Ligue 1 trophies.

Supporters of FC Nantes will be able to utilise an innovative feature to match the club’s certified non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to physical merchandise such as official autographed football jerseys.

Golden Goals positions itself as a football-focused NFT marketplace aiming to deliver the sport as an art form, and enrich the experience of club support by bringing together the digital football collections of clubs with the online fanbases.

The platform argues that, similar to a stadium, Golden Goals brings together fans with their emotions – something of increased importance due to the disconnect between sports and fans following the Covid-19 pandemic.

EuroNov, the parent company behind Golden Goals, is based in Lille – and specialises in blockchain and eSports digital transformations and consulting.

An attractive feature of Golden Goals is aimed at monetising fan support for smaller clubs with the inclusion of a donation mechanism that will allow fans to give back directly to their club through crypto.

The clubs themselves are offered a platform which can be used to design, mint and sell NFTs through the platform.

Two types of token will be available through the platform. The first, known as Goal NFTs, are certified and can only be created directly by clubs. However, the platform also enables fan-minted tokens called Fan NFTs, although these will lack access to special privileges such as linkage with physical merchandise items.

There is no registration required for fans to purchase NFTs in a move aimed at promoting user privacy, all a customer needs is a Tezos wallet and Tezos (XTZ).

Who is Satoshi Nakamoto?
"Who is Satoshi Nakamoto?" is dedicated to the mysterious creation of Bitcoin, and acts as the showcase artwork within Javier Arrés’ exploratory series "Bitcoin, The Origin". "Who is the creator of Bitcoin?" The artist, Arrés, explores this question, and the feelings of doubt and mystery that accompany it, through his unique artistic language. An unknown, an enigma. It should be remembered that the name Satoshi Nakamoto is a pseudonym of Bitcoin's author or authors and gives us little insight into its true creator. For this Visual Toy, Arrés uses the signature claw machine, his famous half-operation, to symbolize our collective ignorance and unconfirmed belief: As soon as it has the stuffed animal within its grasp and appears to have solved the puzzle, the animal escapes again, and again. At present, there are three more public and studied possibilities who are either believed to be the creators of the currency or who directly claim the creation of it. It may be all or none of them, yet these three personalities leave us clues which are an important part of this interesting enigma. For this moment, it will remain unknown... In this artwork, Arrés elevates the claw machine from the apparatus, to an iconic pop art object serving as an important element to the Bitcoin creation narrative. Action is everywhere, with each movement serving an iconographical or metaphorical purpose related directly to cryptocurrency: Various ups and downs, roller coasters, mining points, robot, coins and more speak to a sense of hope, risk, mystery, randomness and possibility of pay out. Hundreds of manically thought out details make this creation one of the artist’s most complex Visual Toys to date. ------- "Bitcoin, The Origin" is a set of two Visual Toys, titled "Who is Satoshi Nakamoto" and "It’s Alive!" which reflect and explore the mystery and enigmas behind the creation of Bitcoin. Arrés presents these proposals to us in his signature style, full of iconography, fantasy, maniacal animations and a panoply of details (both subtle and overt) which simultaneously fascinate, hypnotize, and narrate this historical milestone through the singular vision of the artist. Through this series, Arrés freezes a crucial moment of cryptocurrency history, taking a still photo under his vision and turning it into two unique crypto artworks. ---- More info about Javier Arrés: https://javierarres.com/about.html
