Benefits of Developing a Sports NFT Marketplace

01
New revenue streams

The digital nature of NFTs and the fact they can be purchased for cryptocurrency makes them a perfect medium for trading sports collectibles. Running a sports NFT marketplace that sells virtual assets at scale, receiving commissions and royalties, can be an extremely lucrative business.

02
Fan loyalty & engagement

Sports fans constantly look for new ways to identify and interact with the teams and athletes they admire. Non-fungible tokens pave a new avenue in that respect. They give fans the opportunity to buy and trade collectibles from the comfort of their homes while also imbuing tokens with real-world value.

03
Crowdfunding initiatives

The ever-growing sports fan community eagerly accepts the new rules of the game and is ready to invest their money into tokens. This opens new opportunities for funding sports-related projects or using NFTs as collateral. Fans loyal to their icons are motivated to support legitimate fundraising initiatives.

04
Brand visibility

Brands have always played a defining role for sports fans. By offering proprietary NFTs, you can gain a strong presence on the market and reach a wide audience with relatively little effort. Having your own NFT marketplace to sell and trade them will strengthen your brand image even more.

05
Liquidity of digital assets

The NFT model is far more dynamic than the traditional collectibles market. With tokens, the transfer of ownership happens in milliseconds, and smart contracts guarantee that the terms of the sale will be fulfilled. As a result, crypto moves from wallet to wallet with an efficiency no fiat currency can achieve.

06
Increased credibility of sports collectibles

A well-designed sports NFT marketplace with an extensive list of available tokens is similar to a bank: if it works well and offers a range of relevant products, its reputation for reliability will precede it. This will help build trust with your fan base and further popularize the idea of investing in sports NFTs.

Developing Your Sports NFT Marketplace: The Challenges

The task of creating an NFT marketplace from the ground up can be daunting. Your team must not only be trained in the latest tech but also be well aware of the possible security and legal issues. Here are the main areas of expertise you'll need to cover:
Optimization of media upload speed

Today’s customers don’t like to wait, and sports fans are no exception. At home or at a sports bar, users of your sports NFT marketplace need quick access to features and content. So, it’s your responsibility to offer a solution for any bandwidth that may be available at the time.

Integration with payment services

Be prepared that some of your platform’s customers won’t be too familiar with crypto. To overcome that barrier, you’ll need seamless integration with credit card payment services. The experience of buying cryptocurrency needs to be absolutely transparent and hassle-free, so your less tech-savvy customers will stick around.

Payouts to clubs, fees for transactions

Original owners of the NFTs listed on your platform may negotiate different interest rates on transactions. Your solution must be equipped with all the necessary controls in the admin panel to offer maximum payout flexibility for every club, team, or athlete that wants to join your client list.

Security

Although blockchain does offer a basic level of built-in security, additional expertise is a must. Developing a sports NFT marketplace involves dealing with the possibility of external attacks. It’s crucial to store crypto wallet keys in an encrypted format to prevent your users from losing their funds.

Visual appearance

Interacting with your sports NFT marketplace should be easy and fun. A positive user experience is worth its weight in gold, and it starts with a well-designed interface. On a recent project, Unicsoft’s team experimented with several versions of animations to find the option that worked smoothly and looked great.

Royalties

The NFT’s creator should receive royalties from resales indefinitely. But if the new owner moves it to another platform (OpenSea, for instance), the payouts will stop. It takes specific expertise to build a solution that handles financial operations without fail, and you need the experience to work out these little quirks.
