Mission

By implementing Blockchain technology and Smart Contracts, 433 Token Ecosystem will bridge the gap between soccer superstars, youth talents and fans.

By decentralizing, it aspires to make the most popular sport on Earth more transparent, efficient and democratic.

“I’m a firm believer in supporting youth development in football. I’m delighted to be part of this project and excited about hopefully helping the next generation of young footballers.”Paul Scholes

Executive Summary

Soccer is by far the most popular sport in the world. As of June 2018, there are over 3 billion fans worldwide, more than 300,000 football clubs (professional and amateur) and 240 million active players. The twenty most valuable soccer clubs are worth a total of US$33.8 billion (all $ hereafter represents US Dollars), and they earn $8.56 billion revenue a year (up 74% and 40% respectively since 2013). Superstars are highly sought after and paid extremely well. In 2017 Paris Saint-Germain paid $263 million to acquire Neymar Jr. (transfer fee). And, Lionel Messi alone earned $84 million on salary and bonus, excluding endorsements in 2018.

Yet, as popular as soccer is, there is always a gap between the superstars and the fans. There is never really any direct interaction. And the popularity of the sports has created many behemoth organizations, which have strong centralized power to dictate how soccer is played, and who are likely to succeed in the sports.

We, at Soccer Legends Limited, not only love and play soccer, we are also firm believers of blockchain technology and Smart Contracts. The technology has brought about exciting new ways of thinking and working in many industries. The way it verifies and keeps data has enhanced transparency, security and scalability. In addition, the ability to deploy Smart Contracts on blockchain platforms has greatly improved trust among users, and made possible many innovative applications.

Through 433 Token Ecosystem, we are determined to bring blockchain technology to soccer, making the sports more transparent and efficient, at the same time empowering soccer fans with capabilities they can only dream of before. In doing this for 3 billion people, we have faith that 433 Tokens will, in return, promote blockchain technology and its acceptance all over the world.

Our passion in doing this has gained us the partnership of Global Legends Series (GLS), a league of retired soccer Legends. All these Legends are household names, who have played professionally at the highest levels (Premier League, La Liga, Serie-A...) and won many team championships and personal accolades (World Cup, Champions League…).

Page 6: Empowering 3 Billion Soccer Fans · 2019-01-10 · Saint-Germain paid $263 million to acquire Neymar Jr. (transfer fee). And, Lionel Messi alone earned $84 million on salary and bonus,

Moreover, the way how the 433 Token Ecosystem will work, has won us the support of Mr. Paul Scholes and Mr. Andriy Shevchenko (names in alphabetical order). They do not only endorse the project, they will personally participate in the ecosystem. As they believe 433 Tokens will score a hat-trick with these 3 utilities:

(1) Sponsoring • Fans can directly sponsor a Legend in mentoring a Youth Talent, by 433 Tokens. • Sponsors can closely follow the development of a superstar.

(2) Bidding • Fans can bid for Special Events auctioned by a Legend. • Highest bidder can enjoy personal interaction with the Legend, e.g. a charity dinner, a soccer

clinic or even a Legend-vs-Fans friendly game.

(3) Voting • Fans can vote for the venue, rosters and even game format of upcoming GLS games. • Important decisions will be made by fans, not presidents, chairmen, or managers.

As soccer fans of all ages can access 433 tokens, there will be NO betting and gambling utilities in the 433 Token Ecosystem.

To have sufficient resources to develop the 433 Token Ecosystem, an Initial Offering of 433 Token is planned in 3rd Quarter 2018. 300 million out of 1 Billion total supply of 433 tokens will be offered to the public, with an aim to raise $27 million (Hard Cap).

The Why. Why Soccer can be Improved?

Number One Sport on EarthSoccer is by far the most popular sports in the world. As of June 2018, there are over 3 billion fans worldwide, more than 300,000 football clubs (professional and amateur) and 240 million active players.

Amazing ClubsThe twenty most valuable soccer clubs are worth a total of $33.8 billion, and they earned a combined $8.56 billion annual revenue. The top three clubs are Manchester United ($4.12 billion), Real Madrid ($4.088 billion) and Barcelona ($4.064 billion).

Centralized PowerApart from being rich, the popularity of these clubs also make them powerful. Together with statutory governing bodies (FIFA, UEFA…), major sponsoring sports brands (NIKE, Adidas…) and broadcasting media (Sky Sports, Sport TV…) they control almost everything about soccer. Decision-making on important soccer matters is centralized in a small group of organizations and people. While this is not necessarily a bad thing (judging by the ever-growing popularity of the sport), soccer fans certainly want more say, participation and contribution in the sports they love.

Superstar PlayersYet in soccer, even the top clubs cannot rival the popularity of superstar players. They are highly sought after and paid extremely well. For example, Paris Saint-Germain paid a record-breaking $263 million transfer fee in 2017 to acquire Neymar Jr. And in 2018, Lionel Messi earned $84 million, and Cristiano Ronaldo earned $61 million, on salary and bonus, excluding their numerous endorsement contracts. Even after retirement, many soccer superstars maintain their popularities, are being closely followed by tens of millions on social media and still command huge endorsement contracts.

Youth TalentsAspiring to become the next superstar, every year there are a lot of passionate and talented young people joining soccer academies all over the world. But similar to other professional sports, soccer is extremely competitive and most of these youth talents (over 99%) will neither be signed by clubs nor have a soccer player career.

Short Playing CareerEven if they are signed by the clubs, on average a professional player’s career length is only 8 years and the average retirement age is 35 (according to Professional Footballers’ Association). That means even a superstar will retire at a relatively young age in life and have to look for a second career, for financial or other purposes.

Loyal FansThere are billions of soccer fans in the world. A large proportion of them are very loyal and passionate towards their national teams, favorite clubs or players. Yet, beside watching games and shouting cheers, there is not much else a fan can do. Some may place bets on games, some may play as “manager” or “player” in video games, and some may follow their favorite players on social media. For most soccer fans in the world, no matter how much they love the sport, there is no channel for their direct involvement or participation.

The How. How to improve Soccer?

It will be done by Blockchain technology and Smart Contracts.

BlockchainA blockchain is a continuously growing list of records, called blocks, which are linked and secured using cryptography. By design, a blockchain is resistant to modification of the data. It is "an open, distributed ledger that can record transactions between two parties efficiently and in a verifiable and permanent way".

It was invented by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008 to serve as the public transaction ledger of the cryptocurrency Bitcoin. Since then, it has gradually gained popularity and inspired many innovations and applications.

How Blockchain works?

EthereumOne of these innovations is Ethereum, a blockchain-based distributed computing platform and operating system featuring Smart Contract (scripting) functionality. It was proposed in late 2013, crowdfunded in mid-2014, and the system went live on 30 July 2015. It has gained great popularity and made blockchain and Smart Contract implementation possible in the form of DApps (decentralized applications).

433 Token433 Token is designed as a ERC-20 token (Ethereum standard), with its DApps and Ecosystem to be run on the Ethereum platform.

Just like internet has brought the world a paradigm shift in how things are done (e.g. from fax to email to Telegram; from taxi call centre to Uber; from DVD to Youtube), we believe blockchain and Smart Contract is another game changing technology. And 433 Token will be the Game Changer for the sports of soccer.

The What. What 433 Tokens Do?

433 Tokens will have three major utilities.

Utility One – Sponsoring mentorship

i. A selected group of legendary soccer players will form a “Fellowship of Legends”.

ii. Each Legend will be a Principal in the Fellowship.

iii. Only Principals can pick and mentor Youth Talents in the 433 Token Ecosystem.

iv. Youth Talents are ideally picked from different soccer academies, aged 16 to 18.

v. Each Principal can mentor, at any time, up to 5 Youth Talents.

vi. Principal will offer 433 Token holders around the world the opportunity to sponsor his mentoring, for a certain amount of 433 tokens (via Smart Contract).

• For example, 500,000 tokens are required for Mr. Shevchenko to mentor Talent A. Once 500,000 tokens are sponsored, no more tokens will be accepted. And Mr. Shevchenko will have to start the mentorship in order to collect the tokens.

vii. A Youth Talent will have to voluntarily accept the mentorship, and allow his sponsors to monitor his progress. Upon his success in professional soccer, he can show gratitude to his mentor and sponsors by sending them 433 tokens, as token of appreciation (no obligation, though).

viii. A Principal will mentor a Youth Talent with all or part of the following: • Meet him personally at least 4 times a year. • Teach him technique, leadership, ethics and attitude. • Sponsor him to get professional help in physical training, nutrition, sports science, etc. • Monitor his progress and advise on his strengths and weaknesses. • Warn him against malpractices and pitfalls faced by a professional soccer player. • Introduce him to scouts, clubs, agents and endorsements.

ix. Detailed information of the mentorship and the Youth Talent’s training and progress will be put on permission-based blockchain, viewable by his sponsors.

x. Any 433 Token holder can directly sponsor his/her preferred Legend and Talent, personally keep track of the talent’s growth and development, and has the chance to receive tokens of appreciation.

Utility Two – Bidding on auctions

i. A Principal will be able to hold auction for Special Events (“Event”) with his personal participation and specific details. For examples:

• a dinner on 14th July 2019 at Maxim’s Paris, • a personal guided Giuseppe Meazza Stadium museum tour on 16th December 2019, or • a Legend-vs-Fans penalty shootout at Old Trafford on 1st May 2020.

ii. Each Event will be coined a unique Smart Contract token (“Event Token”) for auction by 433 tokens.

iii. Highest bidder will receive the “Event Token” and enjoy the specified personal experience and interaction with the Principal.

iv. Other bidders will get back their tokens and wait for another opportunity.

v. Via “Smart Contract”, the Principal will automatically collect the 433 tokens once he fulfils his obligations on the Event. In any circumstances that the Principal cannot hold the Event as specified, the tokens will be returned to the bidder.

vi. As far as possible, Principals will hold charity events and use their tokens on charity.

Scalability of Bidding Utility: • bid for special items, tickets or VIP box • enter charity lucky draws

Scalability of Voting Utility: • vote for participating league’s and club’s decisions

Utility Three – Voting on games

i. For games organized by Global Legends Series (GLS) regularly, 433 Token holders will be able to vote for the venue.

• For example, GLS will hold a Legends game on 1st June 2019 at one of these cities: Roma, Shanghai, Tokyo, or Miami.

ii. 433 tokens will be used to vote for the venue. The city receiving the highest vote will host the game.

iii. Via Smart Contract, tokens voted for the winning city will go to GLS to fund the game. The winning voters will receive free video streaming and priority ticketing of the game.

iv. Other voters will get back their tokens and wait for another opportunity.

v. Once the venue is set, 433 Token holders will be able to vote for the team rosters and game format.

vi. When the popularity of 433 Token rise, partnership with other soccer leagues and clubs will become possible. By then, 433 Token holders will be able to vote on important league and club decisions.

The Who. Who will Benefit from the 433 Token Ecosystem?

Fans • Every fan in the world, with 433 tokens, can participate in developing the next superstar and

follow his growth closely. • He/she can bid for a personal experience with his/her favorite player. • He/she can have more say in soccer decisions.

Youth Talents • Because of 433 Token, a Youth Talent can be sponsored by fans to learn from the very best. • Apart from the tangibles (stamina, pace, strength, skills…), the intangible qualities of these

Legends (character, attitude, integrity, leadership, tenacity, experience…) are often only accessible through personal interaction.

Legends • For almost all professional soccer players, they face the same challenge of retiring before 40.

Starting a second career is not always easy, and walking away from their beloved sports is even more difficult.

• Within the 433 Token Ecosystem, a Legend can build a new legacy by mentoring and developing youth talents.

• He can also interact with his loyal fans in various different ways, while contributing to charitable causes of his choice.

Scouts • Having sponsored a Youth Talent with 433 tokens, a scout can closely track his development. • Transparent and reliable records on blockchain will improve the quality of talent evaluation.
