AFL shares Metaverse plans

NFTs are digital certificates stored on the blockchain proving ownership of a digital or physical asset, often an artwork, but AFL Mint has plans to expand on the concept and offer game day events, tickets and the chance to meet players in the Metaverse.

Kylie Rogers, executive general manager of customer, and commercial at AFL, said they hope to use the technology to make better fan experiences.

“Through our AFL Mint brand, we will launch exciting new moments across our Men’s and Women’s competitions, plus celebrate past greats and other product releases that will bring a unique fan experience we haven't seen before.”

The AFL announced their NFT marketplace, AFL Mint, back in April, revealing they signed a five-year partnership with Be Media, a Perth-based subsidiary of Hong Kong NFT gaming giant Animoca Brands.

The marketplace will launch in 2023, allowing the selling and trading of moments between fans and collectors.

Following the lead

With the launch of their Ripper Skipper 2022 NFTs, the AFL has followed in the footsteps of other international sporting codes that have forayed into the world of Web3.

The NBAlaunched their marketplaceNBA Top Shot in2020 to critical acclaim, while theUFC created UFC Strikein February of this year.

Other Australian sporting codes have also followed suit; Cricket Australia (CA) and the Australian Cricketers Association (ACA) signed a multi-year licensing deal with Singapore-based collectibles platform Rario and NFT trading company BlockTrust in April.

While Queensland Rugby League had a 10,000 NFT drop titled The Ultimate Queenslander NFT on the Flow Blockchain.

The Moth Catcher
In this psychologically bed-headed portrait, a creature sets in a trance; his eyes devolved and vestigal, his third eye open but hardened and in a form resembling a Sharingan. The imagery therefore expresses an awareness existing in corporeal introspection. The creature’s mind sprouts, on the left side, an emerging face, grinning. To the right side of the head, red tentacles and fingers intertwine–a collaboration of invertebrate and vertebrate consciousness cooperatively handling paint brushes of the sort used to build an oil painting. The neck and throat bristle with random thorns, as from a rose or the upper portions of a beak sprouting from its flesh. The neck itself disassociates into layers of membranous material, terminating upon an abstracted base of convoluted forms composing its body. The nose is virtually non existent, more a sinus reiterative of the shape of the third eye. Set against the exposed teeth peering out of thick, meaty cheeks, a skeleton-like impression results. That impression sets behind a visceral set of lips and tongue, which is the creature’s prime seat of awareness. Sensual, organic, the tongue organ hangs, meaty, and with consciousness of a sea cucumber. It illuminates at the tip, drawing the attraction of a nearby moth–with mystery of purpose.
