The future of sports is digital, on TON, and all up in your favorite sticker marketplace. That marketplace is Fuse, which has just had its complement of pro athletes enhanced by the launch of the official SCOR Sticker Store, courtesy of Sweet. For TON users, it’s an opportunity to collect stickers featuring their favorite athletes and sports stars directly within the Telegram app.
This is about more than merely collecting for collecting’s sake: these stickers come packing superpowers, including the ability to yield rewards across SCOR mini-games directly within Telegram. Targeted at casual gamers and crypto natives – essentially TON’s primary user base – the sticker packs enable exclusive power-ups and other perks.
Sports’ Sweet SCOR Sticker Store
For those in the know, SCOR is in the fandom business, making it easier for pro teams and athletes to connect with their fans – which nowadays means doing so in the digital domain. The release of its own dedicated sticker store within the broader one operated by Fuse is another neat tie-in that will allow fans to derive more fun from their TON experience while demonstrating their affinity with the footie stars and major league athletes they idolize.
The timing of the release is serendipitous, too, arriving in the build-up to SCOR’s TGE that will see the $SCOR token make its long-awaited debut. In the interim, there are naturally plenty of incentives for fans to get involved to climb the leaderboard, acquire Gems, and generally position themselves primely for everything that comes next. This is the future of sports and digital entertainment, and it’s all up in your favorite messenger app and retail blockchain – yes, Telegram and TON.
The People Want Packs
To kick off the launch of the SCOR Sticker Store, packs of five animated stickers are being made available in the SCOR Sticker Store on October 17 at $4.99 a set. With just 1,000 available for each of the limited edition packs, there’s a high chance they’ll sell out fast. Particularly given the caliber of the athletes that grace them, including Rashid Khan, Sunil Narine, and Ish Sodhi.
Commenting on the launch of the SCOR Sticker Store, TON Foundation CEO Max Crown said: “This is a first-of-its-kind launch for Telegram: collectible sports packs with real gameplay utility. By partnering with globally recognized athletes and clubs, SCOR and TON are turning Telegram into the go-to destination for sports-themed digital experiences.”
Should the debut of SCOR Sticker Store and its first collection of animated athletes prove a success, expect plenty more where that came from. All the evidence so far in SCOR’s trajectory indicates that the people want sticker packs and the rarer the better. It’s the same energy that transformed NFTs into a multi-billion dollar asset class, and now it’s coming to TON’s sports fans in easily accessible sticker form. With 200 of the initial packs reserved for the top 200 all-time Sixer Smash scorers, there’s plenty of leaderboard jostling to be done in the interim ahead of the SCOR Sticker Store debut collection on October 17.
