In a major move toward Web3 engagement, FIFA has announced its digital collectibles platform will transition to the Avalanche blockchain. This shift marks a departure from the existing Algorand-based system and signals a deeper dive into blockchain technology by the football governing body. 🌎 ⚽ 🤝 The new platform, FIFA Collect, will leverage AvaCloud, an offering that provides compatibility with Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) to facilitate integration with decentralized apps and wallets like MetaMask and WalletConnect. Wallet options on Algorand will no longer be supported. This change comes after the announcement of a dedicated blockchain for NFTs and digital fan engagement earlier this year. The new platform promises enhanced features, including seamless wallet connections and increased user experience.
