SportsCastr’s FanChain Cryptocurrency Is Coming to Real-World Events

Fans will soon be able to earn cryptocurrency for showing up to and checking into live events. A new three-year partnership between streaming service SportsCastr and event organizer FanWide will reward fans with the FanChain token, FANZ, for attending viewing parties.

SportsCastr is a live-streaming video platform that enables anyone (but also a lot of pro athletes via the NFLPA and WNBPA) to be rewarded for adding their own color commentary to live events. FanWide is a Meetup-like platform for sports viewing events. As well as earning FANZ for simple attendance, fans will also be incentivized to livestream watch parties via the SportsCastr platform in exchange for more FANZ.
