On September 19, NBA star Tristan Thompson (Tristan Thompson) collaborated with Improbable CEO Herman Narula and co-founder Hadi Teherany to launch a Web3 basketball fan experience (player tokenization) platform called Basketball.fun in October. The platform is built on Somnia, a layer of blockchain launched on September 2. It will tokenize NBA players, and their value fluctuates in real time according to sentiment and performance. Fans can build lineups, speculate on emerging talent, and get rewarded based on predictions and engagement. Teherany said the app will not launch a native token, but will focus on infrastructure, gamification, and fan empowerment.
