The future of sports is fan controlled. Ten years in the making, FANchise is utilizing the technology of today - and tomorrow - to bring unique power to sports fans TODAY. FAN Token We are issuing the FAN Token, which is an ERC20-compatible Smart Token, built on the Ethereum blockchain. That’s a complicated way of saying it's an entirely new digital asset that can be used for teams across sports to reward fans for their engagement. The FAN Token powers fan interactivity by bestowing voting influence to fans and enabling them to unlock unique content and exclusive experiences. We intend to create a greater universe of professional sports consumption and fandom. The FAN Token enables us to use the future of technology now to deliver transparency and global scalability. It will be the lifeblood of the interactive fan experience across sports. The FCFL (Fan Controlled Football League) Our first application of FAN Token is the creation of the FCFL, which is exactly what it sounds like: a pro football league where the fans call the shots. By combining the passion of live sport, the competition of fantasy sports, the engagement of video games, and the global reach of esports, the FCFL is the first pro league truly designed for the digital age and literally built on the blockchain. FCFL fans earn FAN Tokens as they prove their ability to help manage one of eight real teams. All activity in the league relies on FAN Tokens: the fans' power to select team names and logos, draft their players, design the play book, and more. And through the global interactive streaming experience, fans select plays in real time. The proof of our concept already exists. In 2017, we implemented a test case of the fan-run model on the Salt Lake Screaming Eagles of the Indoor Football League, which generated hundreds of thousands of streams and play-calls from fans across the world and produced one of the most high-powered offenses in the league.
