PARTNERSHIP ANNOUNCEMENT
Sheesha Finance Partners with SportsIcon to Drive Sports NFT Adoption
When you experience an iconic, barrier-breaking moment in sporting history as a spectator, the thrill stays with you forever so imagine taking that to a whole new level through the power of NFTs.
SportsIcon (https://sportsicon.co/) works directly with sporting legends to turn their careers and legacies into NFTs through cinematic quality, athlete-curated, limited edition digital collectibles.
For the first time in history, you can own part of your SportsIcon’s story forever, or trade it and some of the NFTs have inbuilt rewards such as insider-only access to your stars, signed memorabilia, Zoom calls, and even one-on-one meet and greets.
DeFI and Sports NFT
With SportsIcon breaking barriers of its own at a mind-blowing pace, Sheesha Finance is excited to welcome SportsIcon as one of our best-in-class decentralized finance project partners.
The partnership focuses on making sports fans’ dreams come true by combining the power of NFTs with DeFi.
When fans stake on Sheesha, they will be empowered to fund the growth of SportsIcon, be closer to their sports heroes by owning moments from their iconic careers and reap both experience-based and financial rewards.
SportsIcon’s Run So Far
