What problems Project WITH want to solve?
The key problem Project WITH is trying to solve is that the sports industry is too polarized all around the world. In particular, the global football market has not been able to smoothly reallocate and accurately evaluate the value of numerous sports players worldwide due to the absence of reliable information and platform compared to the market size and the ripple effect.
In short, so far sports career information is centralized by several key participants including agents and clubs, and this leads to 1) centralization of network & scouting information, 2) absence of objective market value metrics for players, and 3) lack of content creation and sharing channel for sports participants.
WITH platform supports sports career development where athletes across various sports events will gather career information and have self-PR opportunities on the platform. This is because, WITH platform connects sports athletes, clubs, agents, and fans worldwide by utilizing blockchain technology. Those users who contribute their time and attention towards generating informational data and content for the platform are compensated in cryptocurrency according to a specified scheme designed by Project WITH. On the other hand, those who need information inquiries will have to pay a service fee in cryptocurrency.
