Expected to kick off in 2018, the Fan-Controlled Football League (FCFL) reimagines American football – and the experience of being a die-hard fan – for the digital age. The FCFL will seek to deliver a compelling football product that captivates a broader digital audience. It will feature fast-paced, high-scoring action that embraces the spread-football evolution of the NCAA football and NFL games while enabling a diverse set of styles and strategies on both offense and defense ─ all controlled by the fans. Player personnel and real-time play calling decisions are all made by fans via the league’s blockchain platform, making fans the coach and general manager for their team. Fans will no longer be just viewers; rather, they will be active contributors to the games they are watching. This is a transformational shift in the way sports fans engage and interact: no more sitting back and passively watching as a team’s roster takes shape or a game unfolds. They will be essential to the league’s product both on the field and off. This is the democratization of sports, and it’s about to be realized through the most innovative sports league ever created, thanks to decentralized blockchain technology.

BlockStorage is a protocol built to connect and abstract all communications with the blockchain, simplifying the user’s life. The current state of cloud storage, with dozens of reports of security issues, the overall perception of lack of privacy, along with the usual high monthly fees calls for a new kind of storage service, one that guarantees data privacy at lower (or no) costs. From those concerns, we envisioned BlockStorage, a storage protocol based on the principles of ease of use and privacy. Built with the casual user in mind, it allows anyone to store and recover any type of file on any existing blockchain, without cost (besides the transaction fee to store the file). BlockStorage leverages blockchain technology to ensure the safest and most transparent storage experience. Our protocol allows users to seamlessly upload files to the blockchain of their choice while taking care of the data encryption and the respective blockchain protocol. And, because of the inherent nature of blockchains, it assures that the data will never be lost. In short, it will store the files for life without any recurring costs.

INVERSE is a DeFi based platform that provides an array of smart-contract features with integrated time-based options. Users have the opportunity to speculate on the drop in value of a suite of Defi coins by utilizing the multiple 'tracking vaults' on the platform. XIV, the protocol's native token, is used to unlock these vaults, and then staked within these vaults for no more than 7 days. As their name implies, these vaults track the real-time price movements of select DeFi tokens (i.e. COMP, AAVE, UNI, YFI). After 7 days, if the value of the DeFi asset being tracked has dropped by a certain percentage, the user will gain a significant percentage yield on the amount of XIV held within the tracking vault. If the price of the DeFi asset does not drop in value beyond the predetermined percentage by the end of the 7-day staking period, the user will forfeit a portion of their staked XIV. Rewards will be automatically disbursed to the user’s web3 browser wallet at the end of the 7-day staking period. Ultimately, INVERSE offers users the option to hedge against the volatility of select crypto assets.
