8IGH, pronounced /eight/, a blockchain company founded by Jordan Tate and Treyous Jarrells, has partnered with The Basketball League (TBL) to incorporate blockchain technology and the world’s 1st professional basketball team that will run as a DAO. A DAO is an organization controlled by its community members and is represented by rules encoded in a smart contract that is transparent. “It’s an exciting time in history, it’s a digital revolution and we are leading the way as expected. Incorporating blockchain technology into a pro basketball league is innovative in itself but to go to the extent of incorporating a DAO, now that’s just 8IGH,” said Treyous Jarrells, Co-Founder of 8IGH.
Traditionally, sports teams are controlled by one individual or a small group of individuals that give the community it represents no say or benefit. TBL Forever is therefore introducing the world’s 1st Professional Basketball team that will act as a DAO. Founded by Evelyn and David Magley, TBL is the 3rd largest professional basketball league in North America.
With 40+ teams throughout North America, The Basketball League is dedicated to providing its fans, community and business partners with a world class professional experience. It is also renowned as the 1st men’s professional league of any kind to have an African American Woman as founder and CEO.
TBL’s partnership with 8IGH, whose mission is to incorporate blockchain & financial literacy education to help bridge a nationwide gap in terms of knowledge and access to blockchain technology and NFTs, will develop the metaverse version of TBL, TBL Forever, showcasing a league/wide NFT craze. TBL Forever will host blockchain & financial literacy seminars, develop digital sports assets, implement a NFT ticketing system, and form a DAO.
The DAO will not only be controlled by community members that hold specific NFTs in their wallets but back them via a fund as well. Alongside the partnership, 8IGH is also
