The sports industry is poised to exceed $600 billion in value by 2022, with blockchain technology and hybrid smart contracts emerging as significant trends. These smart contracts offer new monetization opportunities for athletes, leagues, and teams while providing fans access to globally accessible, provably fair sports markets. Blockchain applications enable various innovations, such as prediction markets, sports collectibles, blockchain gaming, and fan rewards, by leveraging digital assets like NFTs and tokenized equity. A critical component of this ecosystem is the integration of external data feeds through decentralized oracle networks (DONs) like Chainlink, which bridges real-world data to blockchain environments. Chainlink facilitates this by providing developers access to premium sports data, enabling applications such as settling prediction markets and pricing memorabilia. As blockchain adoption grows, the demand for real-world data on-chain increases, offering existing data providers a lucrative opportunity to expand their reach by selling data on-chain through Chainlink's infrastructure.
