He explained:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;We what we really wanted to find was a rewards system that was digital, scalable, and could give something that could be redeemed for other prizes, so that is one of the reasons we started to look towards a blockchain solution.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Such a mission may have given FanWide a leg up onto the blockchain bandwagon, but the entrepreneur explained that the technology\u2019s transparency-enabling properties could equally become the crown jewels to a company that profits off attendance figures. He noted:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;We wanted to provide transparency to our paying customers\u2014who were the sports bars and the sponsors\u2014to actually prove attendance, because in many cases we would say we brought a hundred people to an event, and they would say &#8216;well, how do we know you really did that?'&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Having organized close to a million events at more than 10,000 US venues to date, FanWide seems to have been making strides on the good of its word\u2014but when transparent, immutable, indisputable blockchain rolled along, Perriman apparently spied an opportunity too good to resist:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;What we intend to use the blockchain for is that transparency every time someone checks in\u2014they get entered on the blockchain; we prove that\u2014and also to provide a rewards system that can be redeemed for other prizes.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>To Build, or Not to Build<\/h2>\n<p>Blockchain may have fit FanWide like a glove, and yet Perriman was still faced with a founder\u2019s quandary: whether to build a FanWide token from scratch, or go forth and find a sports token provider that was already out on the playing field.<\/p>\n<p>After sitting on the \u201cstrategic decision\u201d for some time, however, Perriman and his team of former Google, Microsoft and Amazon engineers concluded that blockchain was simply a means to an end; offering transparency to track attendance, TV viewership, and \u201crewarding fans with something tangible that allows [FanWide] to scale.\u201d He noted:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;We\u2019re not like a company that says \u201cwe\u2019re going to go and build a blockchain to solve a problem.\u201d We\u2019ve solved a problem, and now we\u2019re adding blockchain to it\u2014to make it better.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So when Perriman got wind of FanChain\u2014a tokenized sports ecosystem backed by some of the heaviest hitters in US sport including the NFL Players Association, former NBA Commissioner David Stern, Hall of Fame basketball coach Jim Boeheim, and NBA Allstar Steve Smith\u2014something seemed to click.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_93362\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-93362\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-93362 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/fanwide-partners-1024x173.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"173\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/fanwide-partners-1024x173.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/fanwide-partners-300x51.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/fanwide-partners-768x130.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-93362\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">FanWide has partnered with some big names in sports.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Bringing Teams to Ethereum<\/h2>\n<p>Fast-forward to Q4 2018, and FanWide is to become an inaugural \u201cmint\u201d of FanChain coins; an issuer of ERC-20 tokens with a novel ERC-721 twist\u2014allowing FanWide to stamp team-specific metadata as they dish out, say, New York Yankees tokens to FanWiders for attending, engaging with sponsors, buying drinks, or referring other fans.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_88986\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-88986\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-88986\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/basketball-social-300x158.jpg\" alt=\"NBA Star Spencer Dinwiddie Shares Bitcoin Moment, to Launch Sneakers Purchasable by BTC Next Season\" width=\"300\" height=\"158\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/basketball-social-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/basketball-social-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/basketball-social-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/basketball-social.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-88986\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Related:\u00a0<a title=\"NBA Star Spencer Dinwiddie Shares Bitcoin Moment, to Launch Sneakers Purchasable by BTC Next Season\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/nba-star-spencer-dinwiddie-shares-bitcoin-moment-to-launch-sneakers-purchasable-by-btc-next-season\/\">NBA Star Spencer Dinwiddie Shares Bitcoin Moment, to Launch Sneakers Purchasable by BTC Next Season<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>When it comes to spending their hard-earned tokens, free beer will apparently be the tip of the iceberg for sports junkies; with fan gear, event tickets, and more eventually redeemable for FANZ tokens on third-party sites.
