What if every live sports event generated it’s own unique memorabilia, capturing the action from the event in its overall design?
And what if this memorabilia was accessible to all fans watching from around the world, not just the lucky few who could make it to the game?
CLAIM WINDOW IS STILL OPEN

Pretty proud of this one. We launched a token gated headless mobile Shopify store in about 2.5 from concept to prod.
The traces you had gave you access to specific items.
The experience is really smooth to purchase

Sharing Assumptions, Metrics, Learnings & Thoughts on
@tracedotfan
season 0 🧵
First - Our Assumptions:
1. Ownership matters - owning is part of being human
2. Abstracting the wallet and removing gas is the secret
3. Going with a PWA vs native mobile decreases friction
To show our support, we have crafted a one-of-a-kind Trace collectible, capturing this special moment in motorsport history. The Trace is made using a combination of track and race data, all combined into a single piece of digital memorabilia
Our unique formula merges actual race data with the headline of every race - finished and curated by hand. Each Trace is as unique as the race, letting you relive the unrepeatable.
Solana enjooyrs - Trace Beta is out - an app tapping into the F1 race ritual where fans can easily sign in, claim, and reveal digital collectibles after each race
Each set of Traces is created by hand using race data in Blender. They will tell different stories of the race.
New day, new tool. Diving headfirst into

We went live last weekend with Mexico, the first ever Trace. We’re using the last 4 races of this season as a beta test to see what fans think, then go all in from the start of the 2024 season

While there's a WHOLE lot more to making each Trace, I wanted to share some insight into our first release to help you read between the lines.
What's the story behind Trace 0001?
@tracedotfan
To celebrate this monumental occasion and help bring some exposure to the event, we will create our first bespoke Trace, capturing this historic moment in a series of striking visuals for fans to download and share. Enjoy the race, and we'll see you on Monday...
Unfortunately, I was supposed to present at

all about? Think digital sports memorabilia. Mixing the data and story of an event, stored in your own personal trophy cabinet.
@Icea75K
Yes but not your typical mint. Before each race you can ‘claim’ your Trace (for free) during the claim window. Then once the race is over your Trace will reveal its final form
