17/09/2021 Rugby League World Cup launches the sport’s first NFT marketplace

The Rugby League World Cup is launching its own NFT collection

 

 
  • New NFTs will celebrate the RLWC’s history and star players
  • England-based tournament set for November 2022 after recent postponement

The delayed Rugby League World Cup (RLWC) has launched the sport’s first ever non-fungible Token (NFT) marketplace through a new partnership with blockchain company NuArca.

The new RLWC NFT platform will offer fans access to digital collectibles celebrating the tournament’s history, most decorated players, countries and memorable moments.

Jonathan Neill, the tournament’s commercial director, said: “We believe the launch of our NFT partnership is a first for the sport of rugby league.

“RLWC 2021 NFTs will provide fans with an opportunity to show their passion and loyalty for the sport, and alongside collectors, give them the chance to own a piece of rugby league history.”

The 2021 tournament was originally scheduled for this autumn but has been postponed until November 2022 following Australia and New Zealand’s late withdrawal due to Covid-19 concerns. For the first time the RLWC men’s competition will be run in parity with the women’s and wheelchair tournaments, with all participants being paid the equal fees.

Block Chain Dungeon
Once upon a time... a little boy named Leo loved to paint, draw and experiment. He also loved to play with blocks and chains, which drew him again and again into the rooms of his friends Michel and Angelo. Often they also met in virtual rooms of Cryptovoxels, Decentraland, Somnium Space or Sandbox to create new inventions, read books about new technologies, or just swing the brushes. But on this day something gigantic happened. A good friend of Leo came to visit and brought his girlfriend Mona, who wanted a piece of Leo's art on her skin. This was the birth of the NFT's, as Leo developed Non Fungible Tattoos in the Block Chain Dungeon of Michel and Angelo. From that day on people from all over the world came to get NFT's from Leo or one of his students, like "Skeenee the rat", who controls the NFT machine with his laptop. A new age began.
Brave Samurai
This is the second collaborative piece that I have created with the very talented Dutch artist, @eattheart23. Here, a samurai warrior stands guard, honour bound to protect his master even to the death.
