WE TOKENIZE GAMING FOR FOOTBALL FANS

Our platform Football-Stars has an active user base and Luis Figo as a brand ambassador.

We team up with strong partners e.g Germany’s biggest football platform ’kicker’.

Football-Stars is highly scalable due to its adaptability to any market and language.

The token turns Football-Stars into the first user-centric fantasy sports platform.

Our award-winning platform

FOOTBALL-STARS

Football-Stars is a cross-platform gaming experience based on a free-to-play model. Users can play daily or season-long challenges based on the top European football leagues and an official Bundesliga licence.

By expanding into a community driven platform, with the STRYKZ token serving as an incentive, we will allow users to generate large parts of the content of the platform. 

This will be a self-reinforcing loop: As users will be rewarded with STRYKZ for contributing either content or to the growth of the community and can spend the token on various features and real life items. Additionally, the users can use their STRYKZ to play user-generated token-based challenges and earn even more STRYKZ.
