NFTs and Ping Pong: A Match Made in Heaven
The world of NFTs has just served another ace with the partnership between MADworld and content creator Airrack for an electrifying drop linked to the Xtreme Pong tournament. With Airrack boasting 2.58 million YouTube subscribers, this event on November 13, 2021, promises to be a star-studded showdown featuring creators like Zach King and Brent Rivera battling it out for a $120,000 prize pool.
The Power of NFTs
Fans can get involved as MADworld crafts NFTs that will not only commemorate the event but also grant holders voting power on future tournaments. According to Airrack, “It’s important to engage my subscribers and give them actual control over the channel’s outcome and direction.” This ain’t your average game of ping pong; it’s a new era in viewer engagement!
