Blockchain technology joins fantasy sports market

Ready or not, blockchain is coming to fantasy sports.

Canadian blockchain solutions provider BTL Group has teamed up with games developer Fantasy 6 Sports to develop a suite of blockchain services targeting fantasy sports companies.

The companies plan to develop a proprietary platform called SecurePlay, which they said will address the need for “trust and transparency” in the fantasy sports space.

“[SecurePlay] will be the first of its kind to leverage blockchain technology and smart contracts in ways which will transform how games, contests and transactions are conducted and carried out in the fantasy sports industry,” the companies said in a statement.
