FS Hub

Building a digital sports engagement hub (Fantasy Sports hub) utilising the AvailDA’s expandable blobspace and building the core functionalities as micro-rollups with Stackr SDK. Fantasy Sports Core Concept Fantasy sports(FS) are an extension of real-life sporting events. FS is a digital sports engagement platform, based entirely on real-life sports matches, where users build virtual teams based on a limited budget with proxies of real players participating in an upcoming event(match/tournament) and compete based on real-life statistical on-field performance amass stats such as goals or runs, and turning them into points. Users emulate the role of a manager or coach. Users are ranked based on the performance during the sports match or the tournament. There are certain conditions added like spend cap and higher price based on performance/ranking of sport player to restrict the total amount spend on team and team is frozen before specific time based on match kickoff. Users win points based on how well the selected players perform during the real-life sports event. A prize pool is built based on the contest entry fee for each contest and at the end of the sporting event, the contest outcome is announced. If the user meets the criteria for the winning outcome then receives the predefined winnings. There is also a cut towards the platform fee from the contest entry fee.

The core components of this can be built using micro rollups with Stackr SDK. Using Avail DA as the robust DA base layer with expandable blobspace to spin up fast, cheap, and secure rollups Following service oriented architecture, micro-rollups can be built using Stackr SDK that can benefit from the speed, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness of MRUs(micro rollups), all while maintaining the security and verifiability expected of blockchain-based solutions. Each real world sport match can be proxied as a fantasy sport event built as an ephemeral rollup MRU to be used as the scoring system based on the real match outcome. As they are ephemeral rollups, they are short-lived i.e. only for the duration of the game but preserve state roots and tx data on the AvailDA for future retraceability and verifiability.

Usage of avail DA provides it sufficiently enough blobspace that is cheap and at the same time not compromising on the verifiability and security of the game outcomes.

Usage of MRUs could help to track realtime updates of the performance/ranking of sport players without the overhead of traditional blockchain transactions. Also we could benefit from the support of MRUs in modular development and their ability to scale. By isolating application states of each match as separate ephemeral rollup, we can efficiently manage data, preventing unsustainable state growth and ensuring long-term scalability. Also as MRUs offer standardized communication protocols, it will facilitate seamless interactions between different core MRUs that we can build as the foundation of the game. Moreover on top of this modularity and inherent interoperability, the community should be able to build and thrive on the overall ecosystem with more addons and even AI enabled bots as players bringing in new endless possibilities.
