The NFT welcomes TMessi. In the centre of the NFT, a triple partnership will form. The debut of a series of Digital Art Tokens, the well-known Non Fungible Tokens, has the potential to cause an earthquake in the realm of digital art. Leo Messi, the world's most recognised footballer, collaborates with artist Bosslogic to release a series of NFTs on the Ethernity platform (ERN). Messiverse is the term given to this collaboration as a whole.
During the Mercato of 2021, Lionel Messi, the legendary player of FC Barcelona, departed his team of hearts. He joined Paris Saint-Germain PSG in a transfer that sparked controversy in the United States. However, this is a country that has never been aware of soccer news. On the Internet, a slew of memes have surfaced. In a sense, social networks were in disarray.
What could be more typical when we consider that Leo Messi is one of the most influential Instagram users? In reality, more than 248 million people watch the latter. A solid foundation for every product launch. A collection of collector's items, in particular, bearing the footballer's effigy and glory.
The footballer can expect a stunning income of roughly 71 million euros. However, if it isn't enough, the latter can rely on the sale of NFTs. He has started working on them with an artist for an impending release. A way to use Bitcoin and other crypto currencies to assist the world's most renowned athlete.
Bosslogic is a well-known artist that has collaborated with Marvel Studios. The NFTs are a means for him to highlight the athlete's most stunning moments. In his career, his achievements, and the energy he has spread across the Barcelona team. These limited-edition collectibles will retrace the most pivotal occasions in Lionel Messi's sporting career.
Man from the Future is the title of the first collection. We can witness the footballer's numerous sporting accomplishments while playing for FC Barcelona. Argentina, too, during the Copa America. In a futuristic cyber football setting, over 750 goals have been scored.
Worth the Weight is the title of the second NFT series. In English, calculate his weight. The Argentine footballer's vision is almost legendary. It depicts Messi, like the Greek deity Atlas, carrying the world on his back. A reference to the footballer's extraordinary ability to help his teammates and the teams for which he has been captain.
Last but not least, there's The King Piece. Messi is the king in a stylised game of chess in this final vision. Continually in the same vein as the preceding photos. Because Messi is almost often depicted as a king or a deity. Of course, the goal is to mix the artistry, imagination, and true grandeur of the performer by playing with the meanings of the various aspects. In a presentation video, the athlete himself states, "Art is like football, timeless."
But there is one thing that art and football have in common. These are markets worth billions of dollars. And which are thriving as a result of NFTs. Athletes that have begun on the Digital Tokens adventure are not uncommon. And Messi is simply the most recent in a long line of great players.
Many sportsmen have become interested in NFTs in recent months. Many footballers and sports clubs, like FC Barcelona, have formed ties with NFT platforms like Sorare and Socios. Messi has been a member of this club since 2004. NFTs of French football stars were also offered during Euro 2020. Which were a huge success.
In fact, in the realm of sports, NFTs represent an explosion of collectibles. Baseball or NBA cards were once considered an exception in the United States. In the world of sports, we didn't have anything like this really valuable collector's item in France. However, with the rise of NFT, this tendency has spread over the ancient continent. And at breakneck speed. The collectible and fan art era is here. It is, however, a complete change in the field of art and the sale of valuable items.
