In the U.S., home to many of the most prominent sports associations in the world as well as a high-class college and youth sports infrastructure, only one out of 16,000 high school athletes turns pro. In regions like Latin America and Africa, where sports are just as popular but resources more limited, the chances are even lower.
By specifically working with young athletes from impoverished and isolated communities, LEAP brings together a digital community of both youth sports talent and talent seekers and fans to help the athletes, not only gain recognition, but also get rewarded based on their skill levels.
In the newly released whitepaper, LEAP breaks down its $LEAP token, the tokenomics, as well as the distribution algorithm and many platform features including the marketplace, in-game experience, and NFT collections.
Omri Lachman, CEO and Co-Founder of LEAP, said:
“Our whitepaper serves as our manifesto and marks an important milestone for the LEAP community because it’s paving the way for our platform launch.”
“Our platform approaches the sports industry from a completely new and different perspective. We are diligently building the framework to host a global network of sports talents as well as talent seekers, agents, and fans in a fun and interactive way that uses Web3.0 technology to help level the sports playing field for all, while delivering the Web3.0 visionary promise of individual ownership over data, content and digital assets,” Omri added.
