About Prospect

Prospect is a mobile-first Decentralized Fantasy Sports (DeFS) application that enables users to purchase Athlete NFTs that earn Prospect Tokens ($PROS) based on their real-life in-game performance. Rewards are calculated and distributed via Prospect’s proprietary “Proof-of-Performance” (PoP) algorithm. Prospect’s “Play-to-Earn” (P2E) gaming platform is built on the Ethereum and Polygon blockchains.

Our vision

We believe in a world where an athlete’s success, and a fan’s expression of support are deeply interconnected. Athlete performance directly translates to rewards for their fans. Fans have a vested interest, and an emotional attachment to an athlete’s success.

Our story

Prospect was founded in 2020 with the goal of enabling sports fans to gain exposure to the underlying performance and ultimately the success of an athlete. If sports fans want to share in the success of athletes today, their only options are to purchase collectibles such as trading cards, sports memorabilia and NFTs. The value of these collectables are subjective, volatile and disconnected from the underlying performance of an athlete. Prospect aims to provide sports fans the ability to gain exposure to the real-life in-game performance of these athletes through its Decentralized Fantasy Sports (DeFS) application that distributes cryptocurrency rewards based on Prospect’s proprietary Proof-of-Performance (PoP) protocol. This enables sports fans to share in the fundamental value of an athlete, their performance.
