In HoopVerse, owning a franchise is your gateway to the core gameplay experience. A franchise allows you to participate in competitions, sign players, and earn rewards. Here’s how you can acquire and set up your franchise.
Follow these steps to get your very own franchise:
Navigate to the Store:
Go to the Store page and select the Franchises tab.
Choose Your City:
Use the globe selector to find the city where you want your team to be based.
The city is part of your team’s branding—it will always appear in your team name. For now, the city has no impact on gameplay.
Click on the city to see its purchase details, including:
The number of existing teams in the city.
The price of the franchise.
City Tier Pricing:
Franchise prices vary based on the city’s popularity. There are 5 pricing tiers:
Bronze: $39.99
Silver: $49.99
Gold: $59.99
Emerald: $69.99
Ruby: $79.99
This pricing ensures a diverse spread of team locations and prevents users from over-selecting the same cities.
Select Your Payment Method:
Choose between Credit Card or Crypto to complete your purchase.
Confirm Purchase:
After payment, your franchise NFT will be minted and appear in the Franchises tab.
Once you’ve acquired your franchise NFT, it’s time to build your team’s identity:
Click “Create”:
Go to the Franchises tab and click on the Create button next to your franchise NFT.
Customize Your Team:
You’ll be directed to a page where you can define your team’s identity:
Team Name: Use a creative name in the style of NBA franchises (e.g., Paris Rats, Chicago Bulldogs, Hanoi Dragons). This helps build an immersive HoopVerse ecosystem.
Team Colors, Logo, and Court Design:
Use our free AI tools to generate a slick design quickly.
You can also upload your own images if you prefer a custom look.
Finalize Your Team:
After completing your team’s customization, your franchise is ready to compete.
As a franchise owner, you gain access to key gameplay features:
Participate in Competitions:
Register your team in leagues and tournaments to compete for rewards.
Sign Players to Contracts:
Franchise owners can sign players to contracts even if they don’t own the player NFT.
Earn Rewards:
Compete in leagues to earn in-game rewards such as HoopCoins.
No Rebranding or Relocation:
Team branding and location are permanent for now. In the future, we may offer rebranding or relocation options in exchange for in-game currency.
Build a Valuable Asset:
Your team is an asset within the ecosystem and can be sold at any time, making franchise ownership a potentially lucrative opportunity.
Owning a franchise in HoopVerse is not just about playing the game—it’s about building your brand, strategizing your moves, and becoming part of an immersive basketball universe. Start your journey today and create a legacy that stands the test of time!
