The game is currently in beta testing and runs on the Polygon blockchain. The game is free to play but features Web3 capabilities, allowing players to own and control their digital assets and trade them within the game.
The core concept of Soccerverse is to create an economic system owned and operated by players, which is significantly different from traditional game models. Soccerverse’s co-founders include former Soccer Manager CEO Andrew Gore and blockchain gaming pioneers Andrew Colosimo and Daniel Kraft. They are committed to transforming football management games into truly immersive and community-driven experiences.
An important feature in the game is the use of smart contracts to automate transactions and reduce reliance on intermediaries, thereby reducing the risk of fraud. This move aims to break the chain of centralized control and achieve a truly decentralized economy. In addition, Soccerverse will use the Bone ShibaSwap ($BONE) token in the Shiba Inu ecosystem for transactions and governance, allowing players to participate in decisions about the platform’s development and future direction.
