Our Manifesto

Welcome to the Playerverse…

Welcome to our diverse community of athletes, sports enthusiasts, NFT collectors, and thought leaders in crypto. We are founded by professional athletes and have partnered with dozens of creators to launch Player Edition, the premiere athlete NFT launch platform.

Player Edition occupies an uninhabited space; it sits where athletes, people who love sports, industry disruptors in Web3 and some of the biggest forces in crypto overlap. Whether you have to google what NGMI means, have converted your life savings into ETH, or are somewhere in between…Player Edition extends an invitation to join us.

We’re building Player Edition to disrupt often-predatory and cash grab drops, and connect players and Web3 curators directly to the people. We give players powerful tools for user-driven connection, properly rewarding and engaging with fans who love them.

To kick things off, we are launching NFTs projects that are created and designed by professional athletes, leading artists, and Web3 innovators. Player Edition is not building a factory of athlete trading cards, signatures, and one-off drops. We respect everyone’s approach, but we see value from a different vantage point—one that emphasizes participation, community, and culture. Play­er Edition serves to highlight players as creators and artists themselves, all anchored by high-quality creative concepts and enduring communities. We see value in building a space that fosters organic community interaction through ever-evolving blockchain technology and IRL Player Edition events.

We’re proudly and transparently laying out our core values. If they strike a chord in you (they will), we’d love to invite you to join in:

We are a team

If you want to go fast go alone, if you want to go far, go as a team. We understand the value of teams above all else. We are unifying our community through Player Edition and creating a space for people-to-player connection that has never before been occupied. In our world, we aim to humanize, empower, and connect the players and the people.

We thrive through diversity

As a minority led team at Player Edition (something few and far between in Web3), we have an opportunity to empower a diverse and inclusive community into the Playerverse, breaking norms and amplifying voices as our priority, rather than an afterthought. We want to educate and initiate everyone of every background into the world of crypto, NFTs, and the metaverse. Let’s blaze the trail and leave a path for others to follow.

We are fueled by curiousity

We pledge to always be actively learning, evolving, and growing. Our world around us is changing at warp speed and we are excited to keep exploring every step of the way. We’ve made it this far because we are curious.

We value trust & open communication

With the true principles of Web3 in mind, we want to keep communication open within our community. We want to support everyone by sharing what we’re doing as we are doing it — always keeping the dialogue open and flowing. We’re all venturing into this together. What is our community but a big brain trust of all of our members?

Sound good to you? It does to us. We are thrilled to be making strides in the ever-changing and rapidly expanding landscape of crypto and Web3. We’re not simply keeping up, we’ve found a way to bring our community along with us. At Player Edition, we see it as our responsibility to foster the connection between sports and crypto.

Whether you’re joining us from metaverse or IRL, we’re happy you’re here.
