This was first revealed by a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gizmodo.com.au\/2022\/01\/australian-open-nft-metaverse\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>Gizmodo<\/em> report<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Australian Open to incorporate NFTs into the tournament<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An analysis of the plan indicated that there are multiple dimensions through which NFTs would be incorporated into the sporting competition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To start with, a collection of 6,776 NFTs will be made available to the public. This collection has been dubbed \u201cArt Ball NFTs.\u201d Aside from this, there are also clear indications that several small plots would be tied to each Art Ball.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Further analysis indicated that the incorporation of the NFTs would be designed in a way that ensures that for every winning shot made from the tournament's 600 matches, verified owners will get an airdrop.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This airdrop would also include a film of the point, virtual wearables, Australian Open merchandise, among other things.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is important to note that if the winning point occurred during a championship match and lands on a plot, the real ball would be handed to the NFT owner in a case with a bespoke engraving. The court location for each NFT will be selected when the collections are minted on January 13 for 0.067 <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/ethereum\/\">ETH<\/a> (about $350) per piece.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;The NFT-associated court plot will be allocated at random and disclosed upon ball minting. This means that a buyer is not able to choose a particular spot on the court.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><b>Australian Open to have its own competition in the metaverse too<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The landmark tournament is also structuring an online competition on the renowned metaverse platform, <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/decentraland\/\">Decentraland<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the tournament is set to begin on January 17, fans can virtually participate in an AO Decentraland global party, which would be a three-dimensional VR platform that would give tennis enthusiasts opportunities to scout the Australian Open.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Due to the Covid-19 pandemic which has held the world at a standstill, physical attendance at events like the Australian Open has been difficult.
