FITCHIN, a first-of-its-kind Web3 network for esports communities, has announced a mainnet launch on Solana, a blockchain ecosystem. The company is backed by legendary soccer player Sergio Agüero and blockchain investor Joe McCann.
FITCHIN exists at the intersection between esports and Web 3, with a tournament and community platform that is focused on connecting esports teams with their fans in innovative new ways. It supports these teams with all the Web3 tools they require to generate new sources of revenue and increase their number of followers.
Using a blockchain-based network allows FITCHIN to create platforms on which global esports communities can more efficiently and creatively interact with each other, primarily because of their permissionless and decentralized systems. This allows the company to more easily accrue customers and to create communities.
This mainnet launch signals the beginning of what should prove to be a range of dynamic functionalities, slated to be unlocked on the platform in the upcoming months. To start, members will be able to access exclusive benefits organized by esports teams including events, competitions, private experiences, group chats, voting and special collections of digital and physical products.
As the platform capabilities develop, fans will be given the autonomy to make decisions regarding team projects and how community treasury funds will be used.
FITCHIN founder and CEO Santiago Portela commented: “FITCHIN is focused on catalyzing new business growth and monetization avenues for esports teams while providing them with the know-how and technology to put their fans at the center of the experience.
“Through our launch on Solana Mainnet, we are bringing our mission to full fruition – to help esports teams and fans connect more effectively and more meaningfully in this new technological era.”
