FIFA is launching a dedicated layer-1 blockchain using Avalanche’s customizable infrastructure.
The new blockchain replaces Algorand and supports Ethereum-compatible applications.
FIFA has not disclosed future product plans beyond its NFT marketplace and collectibles.
Global football authority FIFA has announced a major new phase in its Web3 strategy, revealing a partnership with Avalanche to create a dedicated Layer-1 blockchain. This strategic move sees FIFA transitioning its blockchain operations from its previous partner, Algorand, to the Avalanche network, which was recently bolstered by its Avalanche9000 upgrade aimed at supporting enterprise-grade deployments.
According to an announcement, FIFA will build a customizable Layer-1 blockchain leveraging Avalanche’s robust infrastructure. This platform, referred to internally as the “FIFA Blockchain,” is structured as a Layer-1 network, similar in concept to what Avalanche has previously described as a subnet. This dedicated blockchain is designed to offer the scalability and performance features tailored to FIFA’s evolving digital engagement plans.
