Ep. 473 - Tying Passions Together Thanks to Web3, With Nick Swinmurn of Hellebore
Powered by RedCircle
In this episode of Crypto 101, Nick Swinmurn, the founder of Zappos and minority owner of the Golden State Warriors, discusses his innovative Web3 project, Hellebore. This project is an NFT-based fantasy sports prediction game that allows players to engage in sports predictions across various leagues, including the NFL, NCAA, MLB, and international soccer.
Overview of Hellebore
- Launch Date: Hellebore was officially launched on September 6, 2022.
- Cost to Play: Players can enter the game by purchasing a “Siber” NFT for approximately 0.03 Ether (around $50).
- Gameplay Mechanics: Users make predictions on game outcomes and can earn additional NFTs or prize money through their participation in closed leagues. Correct predictions yield points for their Siber NFTs, while incorrect ones deduct points.
Nick Swinmurn’s Vision
Swinmurn aims to blend traditional fantasy sports with the emerging world of NFTs. He believes that while Hellebore will attract crypto enthusiasts, it also serves as an educational platform for newcomers to understand digital ownership and blockchain technology. He draws parallels between his experiences at Zappos and the current landscape of Web3, noting that both fields faced initial resistance but ultimately revealed significant opportunities.
Future Plans
Looking ahead, Hellebore plans to expand its offerings to include more sports such as hockey, basketball, golf, tennis, and racing by the end of 2023. Swinmurn expresses confidence in the project’s potential even amid market fluctuations in the NFT space, emphasizing the utility behind the game’s NFTs as a key factor for success.
