Players

In HoopVerse, each player is represented as a non-fungible token (NFT) with a unique identity and a carefully crafted set of attributes. Displayed as player cards, these NFTs resemble those found in your favorite sports games.

Who Are Players in HoopVerse?

1. Fictional Yet Realistic:

   • Players are fictional, but their attributes are inspired by real-life basketball archetypes, ensuring a diverse and engaging experience.

2. Fixed Player Pool:

   • The ecosystem features a fixed pool of 1,500 unique active players, making it scalable and credible while offering sufficient lineup diversity.

   • Players are replaced one-for-one at the end of each season as retirees exit and rookies enter the pool.

3. Independent Ownership:

   • A single player can be owned by multiple users, but each NFT will have a unique series number and be completely independent:

     • Separate Careers: Injuries or team assignments for one version of a player do not impact others.

     • Shared Baseline Attributes: All versions share the same progression and regression parameters, ensuring consistency in their long-term potential.
