In 2014, shortly after the launch of the famous Ethereum, Gavin Wood, the co-founder of Ethereum at the time, proposed the concept of Web3. In 2021, Web3 was mentioned and valued again. Web3 is a new and better vision for the Internet, an all-encompassing future Internet organization. At its core, Web3 uses blockchain, cryptocurrencies, and NFTs to give power back to users in the form of ownership. Web3 is a young and thriving ecosystem with endless possibilities. There are many subdivided tracks in Web3, including: DeFi, GameFi, Metaverse, SocialFi, NFT, DAO, etc. At the same time, multiple integration is also a new trend.

TopGoal is a Web3 innovation platform that combines the Metaverse, GameFi, and SocialFi. With officially authorized digital collectibles, it uses football as a starting point to organically combine sports stars, clubs, organizations, and fans in a decentralized way in virtual space through virtual reality technology. These elements can break the limitations of time and space, provide fans with more choices and immersive experiences in the Metaverse provided by TopGoal, and bring more players into the world of Web3.

TopGoal is like a parallel world. Through the layout and efforts in TopGoal, the wishes that cannot be realized in the real world can be realized in TopGoal, and the regrets in the real world can be smoothed out in the parallel world created by TopGoal. Not only that, players can also entertain, build and socialize in the TopGoal Metaverse, build their own teams, meet new friends, establish new social relationships, and even obtain identities and achievements that cannot be obtained in the real world, and share the profits and benefits generated by the TopGoal ecosystem.

Core product: TopManager

TopManager is the core football metaverse product of TopGoal Metaverse. It runs on a web browser and is a football manager game that uses cutting-edge cloud gaming technology to provide players with a high-quality 3D-based gaming experience. TopManager and the core gameplay are like a simplified version of Football Manager. Even if you don't have enough football knowledge, you can still train and upgrade your players and team by using the various systems in the game.

TopManager was launched in October and has attracted a large number of players and continued attention since its launch. It has attracted more than 200,000 users. According to real-time data from DappBay, TopManager's WAU has reached 13.03K, and the data improvements in transaction volume and social signals have also been very impressive.

Users only need to hold at least three TopGoal NFTs to participate in PVP games, and the rest of the positions will be automatically filled by the system, but the rewards will also be distributed according to the proportion of players appearing. TopGoal NFTs are divided into three rarities: common, rare, epic, and legendary. They can currently be purchased on the official market or on Binance's NFT market. The base price of a common TopGoal All-Star card is 0.05 BNB, which is about a dozen US dollars. The cost of three cards is less than fifty US dollars, and the entry threshold is low. If you want to form your ideal team, it is also very easy.

Play TopManager for free

Many times we don't know enough about a game, and don't know whether it's worth investing money, or whether the details and strategies in the game are suitable for us. In view of this, TopManager also provides players with the opportunity to experience it for free. New players can receive a free non-transferable trial star card in the Claim Center. Users can activate the Claim Center by minting and binding TAB TOKEN, and receive a free trial card if they meet certain conditions.

There are currently 3 groups of events: Binance Account Bound (BAB) token, Binance Fan Token, and BNB Glory Pass. A TopGoal account can participate in one event in each group. BAB holders can receive 3 free 45-day trial cards, 2 rare cards and 1 common card. FAN TOKEN and BNB Glory Pass holders can receive 3 free 30-day trial cards, 2 rare cards and 1 common card. If the conditions of all three groups of events are met, up to 6 rare and 3 common trial cards will be available. TAB Soul Token, BAB Soul Token, and other partner tokens do not need to be in the same on-chain wallet, and wallets can be switched, but a token can only be received in one TopGoal account.

All trial card users can get rewards like ordinary paid card users, but they need to purchase at least three NFTs with a rarity greater than or equal to rare to receive rewards. TopGoal's setting can not only allow real players to participate and experience the game without burden, but also effectively filter out the wool party, preventing a large number of wool parties from influx and damaging the game ecosystem.

One exception is that if you apply for a BAB trial card, in the first season of the top league (S1 season starts on November 20, 2022 and ends on January 4, 2023, a total of 45 days), whether you purchase a paid card or not, as long as you have a valid BAB soul token bound to the address when the season reward is settled, you will be able to participate in the final reward distribution. This is a special benefit for BAB holders.

For all trial cards, players can also purchase stamina and boosts, with the option to convert the trial card to a paid card at the end of the season. If the player chooses not to convert, the system will refund the stamina and boost costs.

Japanese Binance FAN TOKEN collaboration

TopGoal and Binance Fan Token are launching a joint project to develop a new football metaverse, adding new ways for fans to earn fan tokens in the TopGoal metaverse. As the World Cup progresses, the benefits of the fan economy are gradually shocking. The Web3 world is no exception, and people are paying more and more attention to Binance Fan Token, and at the same time, the demand for more application scenarios of FAN TOKEN is increasing. The powerful combination of TopGoal and Bianace Fan Token will truly transform the traffic and attention brought by FAN TOKEN into user behavior in the football metaverse, connecting fans all over the world.

The mission of the joint project between TopGoal and Binance Fan Token is to provide more service value to clubs and fans. It will be carried out in three phases:

Phase 1: TopGoal will integrate Binance Fan Token into its platform and introduce specific use cases for holders to participate in TopGoal's first web3 game TopManager and win generous rewards. This will greatly enhance the gamification use cases of fan tokens for many football clubs, bringing more economic benefits and gaming experience to holders.

Phase 2: Promote the cooperation between Binance Fan Token and clubs in TopGoal metaverse, and develop club-authorized NFT-based products. There will be customized jerseys and sneakers, and exclusive 3D/VR stadiums in TopGoal metaverse. Fans can show off their club identity while playing, thus realizing the emotional expression utility of Fan Token.

Long-term stage: Binance Fan Token will provide Fan Token services to more clubs, realize the true digitization of the fan economy, and help Binance Fan Token create more practical cases and application scenarios. Fans can realize various peripheral products, meet football stars, watch games live, etc.

Connecting Sports and Web3

Often, we hear slogans about connecting to Web3, but there is no real action or plan to support it. It seems like a dream that will never end, illusory and far away. The difference of TopGoal is that TopGoal's future vision is to connect sports and Web3, and it has built a very strong infrastructure. In TopManager, sports fans can form teams according to their preferences, train players, develop tactics, win games, and earn profits.

The World Cup has come to an end, and Messi lived up to expectations and won the World Cup again. Many fanatical fans have spent all their money and even gone into debt to watch the World Cup. In TopGoal's future plans, some sports fans who cannot go to important events to watch the game will be able to get an immersive live experience with the help of VR and AR technology in the future. Sports fans can choose any perspective to watch the game, invite friends to join the VR group to chat and discuss, and buy instantly generated NFT souvenirs online. Paying a lower cost to get a more realistic immersive experience will become a reality in TopGoal in the near future.

When human physiological needs and safety needs are guaranteed, social needs are the strongest and most desired needs. Virtual social interaction can break the limitations of time and space and connect people from all over the world. The virtual SocialFi experience is TopGoal's response to people's social needs. High-resolution character images, advanced real-time rendering engines, cloud gaming technology, 10,000+ action and facial expression libraries, these are the technologies and tools that TopGoal has prepared for the virtual SocialFi module. Players can create their own 3D avatars in the metaverse and join virtual activities of supported teams, such as virtual club open days, museum tours, press conferences, New Year celebrations, star meet-ups, and more. You can also create your own virtual club, virtual stadium, and organize small meet-ups or even large events.

Often, the real world is cruel, and the ending you hope to see may never come true, just like Chinese football will never win the World Cup. But in the metaverse of TopGoal, you can make up for your regrets and realize your wishes through your own efforts. The ultimate goal of TopGoal is to create a parallel world where fans can discover stars, train their skills, and participate in virtual World Cups and leagues. Everything has a traceable path, and everything happens in a fair mechanism.

Through continuous technological innovation and implementation, TopGoal will build a true sports metaverse based on blockchain. Everything that can be done in the real world can be done in TopGoal Metaverse; everything that cannot be done in the real world can be done through one's own efforts in TopGoal Metaverse. It truly connects sports and Web3 together. Although TopGoal currently uses football as the entry point, I believe that after the product matures, it will be able to bring in more sports and allow more sports fans to enter the world of Web3 with the help of TopGoal Metaverse.
