The Web3 sports gaming platform, 5TARS.io, is set to migrate its operations to the Concordium Layer 1 blockchain, marking a significant step towards transforming sports fandom with advanced web3 technology. Boasting over 250,000 registered users and 20,000 monthly active participants, 5TARS.io empowers fans by providing control over digital assets, such as NFTs and in-game currency. The migration will enhance the platform's capabilities, introducing powerful features like age verification and geo-fencing while leveraging Concordium's scalability. This strategic move will enrich 5TARS.io's gaming offerings, especially in football and cricket, as well as prepare the stage for new titles featuring play-compete-earn mechanics.
Enhancing Fan Engagement
5TARS.io aims to revolutionize sports fandom by offering a dynamic platform that integrates web3 technology, allowing fans unprecedented control over their digital assets. During Euro 2024, the platform's flagship football game reached a peak activity level, engaging 45,000 active players. The migration to Concordium is expected to further amplify this engagement by enhancing existing games and facilitating the introduction of new ones.
Borja Burguillos, Founder & CEO of 5TARS.io, stated:
"Migrating to Concordium will provide us with a permanent home where we can launch innovative games that will delight and entertain our global gaming community."
Expanding Global Reach
The migration to Concordium will enable 5TARS.io to deploy new games, including a cricket game targeted at the Indian market. This move aims to broaden the platform's global reach, inviting more players worldwide to join and experience its enhanced offerings. Currently, 5TARS.io provides a variety of interactive experiences including predicting football matches, AI prediction picks, Arenas, collecting football cards, superpicks, and mini-games.
Borja Burguillos emphasized the benefits of Concordium's infrastructure:
"The ability to tap into ready-made solutions for privacy and compliance, coupled with the scalability that Concordium provides, will enhance our existing releases and push the boundaries of what can be created within web3 gaming."
Future Prospects
With the strategic migration to Concordium, 5TARS.io is poised to introduce new titles powered by play-compete-earn mechanics. The platform's flagship football game remains a major attraction and is anticipated to draw even more players once it is fully integrated with Concordium. The migration not only promises technical improvements but also sets the foundation for unlocking new opportunities for player ownership and fan engagement.
Mike Milner, Chief Commercial Officer of Concordium, expressed his support for 5TARS.io's transition:
"We're pleased to support 5TARS.io as they embark on the next leg of their journey by providing them with the infrastructure and tooling to create best-in-class web3 games that will unlock new opportunities for player ownership and fan engagement."
