Introduction
What is Swoops?
Swoops is a blockchain-powered, basketball simulation game that allows users to assemble 100% unique teams, enter real money contests with their squads, and win daily cash prizes. We are creating a basketball utopia centered around skill and discovery - built and owned by fans.
We empower users to play the roles of owner, general manager, coach, and player, where they can own, trade, and stake players for digital rewards across seasons. Users will experience a play-and-earn game that looks and feels like daily fantasy basketball but with its own IP and world of cybernetic Swoopsters, each a one-of-one player that evolves and ages over time.
If you’ve ever dreamed of owning, operating, and monetizing your own basketball franchise, this is your chance!
