The Challenge

SimWin Sports is a groundbreaking fantasy esports platform with virtual, privately owned teams. Powered by an extensive large tech stack and leveraging Web3 technology, it is designed to emulate real sports seasons. It provides users with immersive fantasy sports experiences while enabling team owners to control their teams during a live game.

To provide consumers and team owners with this unique experience, SimWin needed a way to track team ownership, player contracts, and stats accurately and transparently during real-time game play.

To attract users and investors, SimWin needed to demonstrate that a cryptocurrency-based sports game could generate profits while seamlessly scaling to accommodate a large volume of owners, player contracts, all while emulating a real sports season.

People often trivialize the impact of having a well-defined process, and it can be challenging to emphasize its importance. It's crucial to recognize that investing time in establishing and scaling a proper development process is indeed worthwhile. This investment serves several key purposes: it accelerates progress, ensures synchronization and coordination within your team, and allows you to reach a functional state more efficiently while maintaining the necessary subtleties and nuances. With a well-structured process in place, we no longer needed to chase after people or spend excessive time organizing tasks; everything fell into place more smoothly.

The Solution

Iversoft’s technical team possessed the knowledge and experience necessary to tackle the complexities of SimWin’s platform. By leveraging the immutability of blockchain technology, Iversoft enabled users to have increased transparency by providing a complete log of how gameplay impacts the stats and revenue of their players in real time – across multiple streaming platforms. To track those ever-changing player stats, our hands-on development team leveraged cutting-edge Web3 technology, specifically the ERC1155 token, to manage the different types of tokens that allow for nearly infinite token IDs and stats that evolve with every season and game.

Iversoft created custom smart contracts that automatically divide and distribute revenue based on the player’s in-game performance.

And the cherry on top? Our Project Manager streamlined communication between the frontend and backend teams, playing a crucial role in transforming SimWin from an ambitious vision to a fully functional product ready for launch.
