UFC star Darren Till announces NFT collection with Blockasset
UFC Middleweight Darren Till has announced his first NFT collection with Blockasset, a new athlete-only NFT platform.
The Darren Till NFT collection will appear exclusively on the Blockasset platform, giving UFC fans the chance to not only own the NFT asset, but also gain ownership of the exclusive rewards written into the NFT via smart contract. More details on the rewards will be released soon, but Blockasset can confirm that the rewards will include, but are not limited to, a meet and greet with Darren & VIP tickets to Darren’s next fight.
Athlete NFTs are now a multi-million dollar industry that enables sports enthusiasts to immortalise sporting moments and interact with athletes 1–1. Unlike tangible sports cards and memorabilia that can be easily faked, digital sports cards & artwork NFTs are securely minted on the blockchain, tracking and storing the ownership & authenticity of the item. As with Darren’s NFTs, physical rewards can also be added to the NFT smart contract, allowing fans to get closer to their favourite athletes like never before.
NFTs allow athletes to profit from the initial sale of the item, in addition to collecting a royalty on future transactions. This allows athletes like Darren to monetize their brand and profit from a successful career long after retirement.
NFTs on Blockasset also provide athletes like Darren the ability to interact with the buyer directly via airdrops & extra rewards long after the purchase of the NFT. Fans can also see the Till NFT collection as a form of investment that they can resell on the Blockasset marketplace; with its value likely to grow with Darren’s career and personal brand.
Darren Till had this to say about his upcoming NFT collaboration with Blockasset, “I’m very pleased to be joining Blockasset, especially as their first athlete. It means a lot to see the strong reaction so far, not just from my own followers, but from the Blockasset community. It’s really opened my eyes to how passionate and loyal crypto communities are and Blockasset are clearly building something special. The potential of NFTs is incredible to me, there are so many possibilities. Blockasset is an athlete only platform, so I know for a fact they’ll not only get my NFT collection created, but they’ll make sure my collection and my supporters get the attention and love we deserve. I have a really good connection to my fans, and I know that Blockasset is the key to me taking that connection to the next level.”
