Sweet, a platform focused on sports fan engagement, plans to introduce a new rewards token called SCOR within its Web3 ecosystem. Participants can collect Gems by playing a series of sports mini-games on the "$SCOR on Sweet" Telegram channel, then convert those Gems into SCOR when the token is publicly launched.

SCOR, supported by the SCOR Foundation, aims to serve as an entry point for digital collectibles, premium upgrades, merchandise, and other exclusive benefits tied to professional sports through Sweet's Web3 platform.

SCOR's Role in Sweet's Expanding Ecosystem

Sweet has partnered with major sports organizations such as the NHL, MLS, select NBA teams, and Formula 1 partners, leveraging blockchain-based features to enrich fan experiences. By introducing SCOR, Sweet aims to connect sporting communities and casual gamers who may be less familiar with Web3 applications.

Through accessible retro-style mini-games, users can gather Gems by completing tasks like achieving high scores, referring friends, taking part in community discussions, connecting a wallet, and linking a Sweet account. Gems can also be used to complete challenges and maintain activity streaks.

Once SCOR launches, these Gems convert into tokens, offering tangible rewards within the platform. This approach appears designed to encourage sustained involvement and create a more interactive environment for fans.

"Integrating $SCOR into our platform is all about making sports fandom even more exciting and rewarding. With the introduction of $SCOR, fans can now earn real rewards that enhance the connection between pro sports and their fans in a fun and rewarding way," said Sweet CEO Tom Mizzone.

The TON Protocol and Tokenomics

SCOR is built on the TON protocol, which is noted for its speed and scalability. The token supply is capped at four billion, with 44% allocated to ecosystem growth. This portion is intended to foster in-game incentives and community engagement strategies, potentially offering long-term value for token holders.

The underlying infrastructure aims to accommodate users who are either new to Web3 or accustomed to more traditional gaming. According to Alena Shmalko, Ecosystem Lead at TON Foundation, "We are thrilled to see $SCOR integrated into Sweet's platform, pushing forward the adoption of blockchain in sports and gaming."

Gamified Experiences and Beyond

On the user-facing side, Sweet's platform ties each mini-game to various professional sports partnerships, encouraging fans to engage with digital collectibles, interactive challenges, and merchandise opportunities. Individuals who accumulate Gems through gameplay can convert them into SCOR, granting access to premium features, in-app upgrades, and items that correlate with real-world sports.

Sweet has previously released experiences like NHL Breakaway and MLS QUEST, which illustrate how blockchain elements can add a dynamic layer to sports fandom.
