March 16 2022 - 6:00AM
ESE Entertainment Inc. (“
ESE” or the
“
Company”) (TSXV: ESE) (OTCQB: ENTEF) is pleased
to announce that it has signed a framework agreement with GP
Metaverse (“
GP Metaverse”), pursuant to which ESE
will assist GP Metaverse with organizing simulation racing
(“
sim racing”) tournaments and events.
GP Metaverse is a collection of 10,000 unique
race car NFTs (non-fungible tokens) – one-of-a-kind digital
collectibles. The collection will be distributed in 4 drops on the
leading NFT marketplace, OpenSea. GP Metaverse is based on the
environmentally friendly blockchain Polygon, which, due to its
Proof of Stake consensus mechanism, is estimated to be 84,810
times more energy efficient than Ethereum’s Proof of
Work-based blockchain.1 The first drop of race car NFTs is
scheduled for March 19, 2022. GP Metaverse is supported by IndyCar
driver and former F1 star, Romain Grosjean, who has become the
project’s ambassador. GP Metaverse is also endorsed by Patrick
Kluivert - famous Dutch football player who won the UEFA Champions
League with Ajax Amsterdam and FC Barcelona.
GP Metaverse is a project that aims to create a
space where all motorsports enthusiasts can meet and build a unique
community. Members - NFT holders - will be able to participate in
both virtual and real meetings and have access to exclusive content
such as podcasts and professional analysis. GP Metaverse membership
also brings benefits of GP Metaverse partners, and access to
raffles and giveaways.
As a part of framework agreement with GP
Metaverse, ESE becomes its partner in the areas related to the
organization of gaming and esports events, in particular sim racing
and digital motorsports, as well as esports and gaming marketing,
including in cooperation with influencers.
Michał Mango, Head of Strategy
at ESE Europe, said: “Sim racing finally has its own marketplace in
the NFT community. The GP Metaverse brings all new ways to
strengthen the motorsports community and provide it with a variety
of benefits. We can’t wait to start organizing esports and gaming
events and tournaments for the GP Metaverse community.”
Marcin Zajac, co-Founder at GP
Metaverse, commented: “We are excited about the project as
motorsport and new technologies seem to be a perfect match that
bring a lot of attention from both blockchain/NFT enthusiasts and
racing lovers. The strong and positive feedback we get motivates us
to bring new quality to NFTs. It’s great to partner with ESE – the
market’s leader in digital motorsports.”
Romain Grosjean, IndyCar driver
and former F1 driver, commented: “GP Metaverse is an exciting NFT
project where autosport, gamification and collectables come
together and cool that I have my own unique car NFT too.”
