SportChain

Sport Trust and Reputation models on Blockchains

Project

Every sports competition entails a variety of processes and a large amount of data that requires a simple way to ensure and verify who was present in a sports event or competition, notarize the results and classification of players and the sports organization they belong to, including athletes, players, coaches and referees.

That is why we would like to develop a trusted data and reputation network based on blockchain – specifically for Sports. The goal is to be able to manage and create tamper-proof, verifiable evidence to notarize all kinds of events and issues in sports competitions.
