The Spanish soccer club FC Barcelona might team up with the blockchain protocol Polkadot. Assuming the two sides shake hands, the latter will become an official jersey sponsor of the team.
The players of Football Club Barcelona currently wear the Rakuten logo on their jersey as the Japanese e-commerce firm is the official sponsor of the club. However, the partnership between the two entities is due in July this year, and the soccer team is seeking to ink a deal with a new organization.
According to a recent announcement, one of the options is Polkadot – a blockchain network, which was established in 2016 but gained more traction last year. FC Barcelona described the protocol as a platform that allows a “high number of transactions by second.” Specifically, the project can perform 1,000 TPS. Once it becomes fully operational, it is expected to increase to 1,000,000.
