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).

Interesting NFTs
Who Is The Creator 2
The idea for this piece was borne out of a tweet of mine that caused a bit of a stir. I’d posted a link to a blog article I’d written a number of months previous titled ‘Who is the Creator’ discussing various types of creative collaborations and why I hire people to work on my animations. It generated a lot of debate around creation and attribution with the community split on whether it’s right or wrong for an artist to hire other professionals to help them realize their art projects. I decided to push the boundaries even further and see how the cryptoart community responded. What if I quite literally had nothing to do with the physical or digital elements of the work other than coming up with the concept and coordinating it? I decided there was one artist in the space who could add huge value to this idea on levels that none other could and so I gathered my courage and contacted the great José Delbo to ask him if he’d be interested in a very unique collaboration. I explained to him that to make this piece ‘work’ he couldn't have any say in what I produced and moreover, he wouldn’t even be allowed to see the animation until it was dropped on MakersPlace. To my surprise, Mr Delbo agreed to my proposal. The animation tells the story of the creative process, which includes my roles as writer, director, and producer working with a team and making edits and changes ‘in real time’. The dialogue between myself and my ‘hired guns’ plays out in front of the viewer. The music written for the piece adds to the nostalgia of the comic book superhero theme but other elements such as the snapping and kicking of the pencil and the signing of my signature at the bottom incorporates further layers and challenges the viewer to ask important questions, such as, is the ‘Art’ the final animation (the creation) or is the ‘Art’ the concept/credit for the creation itself?

The Investor's Dream
The second "Visual Toy" about cryptocurrency and its universe that continues the exclusive collection on this theme. After the first Visual Toy, dedicated to the cryptocurrency itself, this visual toy is the other side of the coin. It represents, as its title tells us, the investor's dream, the current person and his financial hopes. A surreal fantasy of the dreams and longings of every investor, in this case the crypto investor. In this magical, happy and colorful dream, aspirations of all kinds intermingle, both the desire for great benefits, represented in a long animation that shows us a production cycle or series production that ranges from the gastronomic recipe of a two-ingredient cake. Bitcoin slice and Ethereum smoothie, passing through magic, represented in a fairy that transforms the cake into real money, which is sucked into a giant capsule to accumulate it and multiply it. The rest is full of investor aspirations, which appear in their dreams in the form of profits or screens that announce that values are rising steadily, as well as physical possessions, such as the sailboat, the helicopter, homes and other objects or possibilities. A dream full of happiness, fun and hope.
