June 19, 2022

Queensland Rugby League (QRL) and XXXX (Lion), have teamed up with 20 Queensland identities from different industries and sports backgrounds, to introduce the first digital NFT offering to celebrate the state and “what it is to be a Queenslander.”

Titled ‘The Ultimate Queenslander NFT’ - the offering consists of a drop of 10,000 tokenised NFTs on the Flow Blockchain and will be marketed and shared via Twitter and Discord with a floor price of $390, with the program raising funds that will be invested across the state via community sporting clubs.

The drop includes a presale of 1000 exclusive NFT tokens on the 29th of June, followed by the main drop on the 6th of July for the remaining 9000 NFT tokens. The 1000 NFT Presale comes with exclusive ‘money can’t buy’ fan experiences, which include meet and greets across 20 legendary Queenslanders from various generations.

The Ultimate Queenslander NFT includes a set of ‘legendary’ tokens each one of them unique, with one of the prized tokens being ‘King of the State’, Wally Lewis. In addition, there are 19 other Queenslanders such as Karl Stefanovic, Nat Cook and the Stafford Brothers

“The Ultimate Queenslander NFT” is also themed across different areas of Queensland including The Country, The Tropics, The Burbs, The City and The Beach.

QRL Chief Executive Rohan Sawyer notes “we’re continually evolving what we do for our fan base who are continuing to connect with us digitally and this connection is the perfect pathway to reward and engage the Queensland community.

“By joining forces with a group of iconic Queenslanders from different industries, sports, backgrounds we have created an Ultimate QLDer NFT Digital Membership, giving owners access to money-can’t- buy experiences including events and prizes.

“XXXX and QRL are committed to returning profits from the program back to Queensland grassroots including our regional, indigenous, female pathways and diversity and inclusion programs.

When consumers trade, it will unlock their value across different sports from Rugby League, Cricket, Rugby Union, Surfing, DJ’s, Celebrities & more.

Playcasta Ken Lee advises “we decided to utilise the Flow Blockchain by Dapper Labs due to its stability, speed and low cost of transactions whilst leveraging their existing sporting user base.

“Non-Fungible Tokens projects such as ‘The Ultimate Queenslander NFT’ provide a fantastic way for Queenslanders to own an asset that represents them and the community in which they live. Our aim is to build a strong community around this project that will provide value well into the future.”

Consumers buy through Twitter or Discord and forms of payment can be made through traditional secured online payments by using a credit or debit card or, or through an existing Cryptocurrency Wallet.
