Why is Zebi stack, a Cosmos Fork, used for the Cricket Foundation platform?
Introducing the powers of NFTs to the world of cricket, Cricket Foundation has unlocked doors to numerous possibilities.
Being the world’s first exclusive marketplace for this sport, Cricket Foundation provides a platform where fans can enjoy a sense of belongingness with their favourite players by directly owning an asset listed by the player. For the players, it presents a unique opportunity to monetize their assets, get a broader market, and connect with their fans beyond just materialistic interactions.
But catering to a sport that is broadly facing emerging markets has three primary challenges : 1. Cost : Solutions need to be able to be cater to the largest section of the users, starting even a sub cent transactions, and lower cost of delivery, 2. Complexity: challenges in emerging markets and edge use cases are multiple and 3. Scale: imaging building a platform to support a billion users. This is where Zebi’s expertise in building and managing solutions focused on emerging markets will be of extensive value..
How does Zebi’s Cricket Foundation achieve this?
It all lies in the technicalities.
Starting with the basics, players can come to Cricket Foundation and list their assets. All they have to do is enter specific characteristics of their asset along with an image or video, or audio. This data will get stored in the immutable ledger of the Blockchain technology in a specific format. This format will allow the asset to exist in the digital space uniquely.
Furthermore, tokens represent the asset stored on the blockchain. These tokens are called Non-fungible tokens.
The said tokens are not interchangeable, given their unique assets. They carry the same value as held by the asset in real life. Therefore, anyone who owns these tokens in the digital space owns the asset in real life.
Proof of ownership exists from the get-go, given the asset’s presence on the blockchain, making asset verification quick and easy. As a result, the asset carries credibility and authenticity as long as the blockchain exists.
Cricket’s NFT marketplace has an unparalleled advantage in the space for a deeper technical analysis.
For instance, rather than using an existing, congested, and non-scalable Blockchain platform, Zebi leverages its Blockchain stack to build the underlying Blockchain for the Cricket Foundation. As a result, the application can achieve more scalability, throughput, decentralization, reliability, and security.
What this means is that Cric token is built as its own a Layer 1 solution with several applications built on top of it. This can also connect with other Layer 1 platforms via IBC, or Inter Blockchain Communication.
The core concept of Zebi is forked from the Cosmos architecture. Cosmos, also known as the Internet of Blockchains, is a platform that facilitates cross-chain interoperability. It is Byzantine fault tolerant, and built on a Proof of Stake consensus, amongst other things.
Therefore, Cricket Foundation has its Blockchain platform in a sense. If a user visits the Cricket Foundation explorer, they can see information like:
- The latest block formed on the Cricket Foundation’s Blockchain network
- How many transactions are complete till a specific point in time
- How many assets get staked on the platform
- Total number of validators
- Inflation Rates
Cric has its own nodes and validators, which allows the whole network to work more efficiently. With such information made available aboveboard, Zebi’s Cricket Foundation creates a transparent community-owned ecosystem.
Zebi allows the community members, including players, fans, clubs, franchises, boards, agencies, equipment manufacturers, and game developers, to have a critical role in the platform’s decision-making.
Conclusion
At its core, the use of Cosmos architecture allows Zebi to create a highly modular platform without privacy trade-offs. This means that even if two Blockchains are connected through the Zebi stack, their sovereignty is maintained.
Furthermore, the development and integration of these platforms become relatively easy, allowing the whole network to be more efficient.
Therefore, Cricket Foundation is not just another Blockchain-based NFT marketplace but also a more extensive ecosystem. The future of such an architecture holds the possibility of numerous collaborations, which gives Cricket Foundation the potential to become the future of the digital ecosystem for cricket.
