Introducing ICC Faze Digital Collectibles - Cricket's NFT fan experience
Combining the ICC’s deep archive of historical cricket moments with cutting-edge technology on the Flow blockchain, this new experience means fans can collect NFTs of some of the most talked-about shots, catches, and wickets from ICC events.
The ICC Faze Digital Collectibles experience allows fans to collect NFTs, or Non-Fungible Tokens, of some of the greatest moments in the sport.
Introducing ICC x Faze Digital Collectibles - Cricket's NFT fan experience
What is an NFT?
A non-fungible token is a unique digital asset, which can’t be interchanged and has verification of its authenticity. An NFT can be traded, but it can’t be copied or taken away; that digital asset belongs solely to one owner.
NFTs in this form are a collectible, just like a physical product, for fans to own at a value they are willing to pay.
How can a user buy the NFTs on Faze’s platform?
A user can either buy the NFTs on the marketplace from another user, or by registering for the pack drops.
What is a pack drop?
A pack drop is a pre-announced period during which fans can reserve the opportunity to get a pack, which are then randomly distributed among those who registered an interest. Not everyone who reserves a pack gets one, the distribution is truly random!
What is a pack?
A pack is a bundle of between three and five NFTs of varying rarities. A user buying a pack does not know the exact nature of the pack contents. However, a user can see the probability of how many common, rare, epic, or legendary NFTs there will be in a specific pack.
What are rarity tiers?
Each ICC Faze NFT is assigned a Tier that represents its status and scarcity. There are 6 tiers: Common, Rare, Epic, Legendary, Platinum, and Genesis.
What they said
Finn Bradshaw, ICC Head of Digital said: “We are delighted to be able to continue to provide new ways for fans to celebrate the game we all love.
“Cricket has an outstanding track record of using technology to connect fans with our sport and this is our next evolution, from trading cards to video NFTs where fans can own their favourite plays from ICC events.”
Anshum Bhambri, CEO of Faze Technologies added: “Faze is building the metaverse for cricket. We are in a unique position to combine NFTs, gaming, financial utilities, and money-can't-buy experiences to create a platform for cricket aficionados to collect, use, play, and interact with cricket through NFTs.
“We can’t wait to give more than 1 billion cricket lovers the opportunity to own the game that means so much to them, and to engage with cricket in a whole new way.”
The ICC Faze Digital Collectibles experience
As well as the NFTs, the new platform will also engage with users and offer the chance to win once-in-a-lifetime opportunities.
The ICC Faze Digital Collectibles experience is open for early registrations, and will take the craze for cricket to the next level with access to amazing features, integrations, gaming, and community engagement that place fans at the centre of the sport.
