OWNIC is a dynamic NFT sports trading card platform that empowers collectors to directly participate in and own a share of an athlete’s success through an interactive collecting experience. Static collectibles are a thing of the past! OWNIC is on a mission to revolutionise the sports collectibles market by introducing dynamic, customizable, and rewarding collectibles that retain their value on the card itself and evolve based on athletes’ real-time achievements and collectors’ participation in our gamified ecosystem.
The partnership is first of its kind for OWNIC, with previous card drops focusing on renowned professional footballers rather than entire clubs – but now fans will be able take their pick from the entire Benfica squad.
Benfica, the current leaders of the Portuguese League and through to the knockout stages of the Champions League, are Portugal’s most successful domestic club winning an impressive 37 league titles. Benfica is the current home for well-known football stars including recent World Cup winner Nicolás Otamendi and the League’s current two top scorers, Gonçalo Ramos and João Mário.
These Benfica stars will join OWNIC’s ever-growing exceptional roster of sporting talent which already includes the likes of Juventus players Leonardo Bonucci and Nicolò Fagioli, and several of the UFC’s top fighters including Middleweight champion, Alex Pereira.
Users can enjoy an immersive collecting experience, following their favourite players’ journeys through a dynamic and interactive platform that will revolutionise the collection industry. The dynamic and unique cards track players’ performance in real-time with the performance reflected in the value of the NFT, making your collection always up-to-date.
Using innovative blockchain technology, OWNIC can authenticate and track ownership of the digital cards, ensuring that each card is truly unique. Integrating dynamic NFT technology with temper-proof off-chain data from Wyscout, the cards remain relevant and accurate throughout each athlete’s career, making them timeless for collectors.
Users can boost the value of their NFT using OWNIC’s XP system which calculates the value of each card based on athlete performance and collectors’ engagement within OWNIC’s gamified ecosystem. As a user’s cards XP grows, they can earn prize money and win prizes including signed merchandise and one-of-a-kind fan rewards. The platform also rewards important milestones in athletes’ careers, including record-breaking achievements which all add value to each card, making users’ collections truly unique.
