Token Utility

The CTRL Token will serve as the primary utility and governance token for The Control Protocol, which will power the digital interactive experience for live professional sports globally.

How the CTRL Token is being used at launch: The Control Protocol has already been adopted by Fan Controlled Sports and is in use with their professional football league, as well as with their auto-racing deployment with NASCAR and upcoming pro golf series with the PGA Tour.

On launch, the CTRL Token will provide holders with unique utility in all of these, including:

  • Rewards for Fans, Athletes & Contributors: CTRL Tokens will be used as incentives to reward fans, athletes, content creators, and other contributors for their involvement and positive contributions to the Control Protocol ecosystem. A component of these rewards will include ability for all contributors to utilize CTRL Tokens for minting unique utility-based and collectible NFTs. A few examples of utility from our last FCF season include giving our Ballerz NFT holders access to join new Ballerz teams, play calling boosts based on NFT traits, IRL experiences based on NFT traits (e.g. leading teams out of the tunnel before the game), and ability to win loot boxes with team gear, including autographed jerseys.
  • Access to Exclusive Content: Fans and contributors can use CTRL Tokens to access exclusive content from the practice fields, inside the locker room and 1:1 digital interviews with star players, coaches, and team owners. This content helps the top fans and contributors to get the greatest insight possible into their favorite players and teams, making them more knowledgeable to cast their vote and thus increasing the fan’s value to their team’s community within the Control Protocol.
  • Highly Unique Experiences: CTRL Tokens can be used to access tickets, field passes, meet and greets and highly unique VIP experiences at live Fan Controlled Sports events, which includes warming up the Quarterback before the game, driving in the pace car around the NASCAR track and hitting range balls with your team’s PGA Tour pro. These experiences enable fans and contributors to reach a level of access not available through any traditional sports league.
  • Voting Rights: CTRL Token holders can exercise their voting rights on various matters within the Control Protocol governance which includes determining the platform development roadmap, sports that will be activated and key partnerships to be established. Additionally, CTRL token holders will be empowered to vote in all relevant strategic decisions for the Fan Controlled Sports teams and players that they support. This includes choosing team names, logos and jerseys, drafting and trading players and casting live votes to select their football teams play, their golfer’s clubs and shots, and their race car’s strategy on the track.
  • Voting Powers: On all of these votes, the quantity of CTRL Tokens being held by a fan will determine their voting power. The more CTRL Tokens a fan holds the greater their power to make decisions for the Control Protocol and their favorite Fan Controlled Sports teams. CTRL tokens serve as a means of representing a fan's stake and commitment to the ecosystem. This design ensures that passionate and committed fans have a stronger say in shaping the future of the ecosystem, making it truly fan-controlled.

The Roadmap ahead for the CTRL Token: Upon launch CTRL token holders will vote to help determine the roll-out of additional utility and solutions on the Control Protocol, which will include:

  • Strategic Partnerships: The Control Protocol development team is already engaged with a myriad of leading sports leagues, major media platforms and game developers globally around adoption of the Control Protocol. CTRL Token holders will help determine which of these become a reality, as well as the timeline and format of the launch for all key partnerships.
  • Trading on the Control Protocol Marketplace: The development of a dedicated Control Protocol Marketplace that gives fans the ability to buy and sell digital items with CTRL Tokens, such as team or player NFTs, collectible moments, and digital fan profile gear.
  • Decentralized Peer-Review System: CTRL Tokens will be used to incentivize and manage a decentralized system for rating or reviewing fan, coach and player performances, contributor content quality and event experiences.
  • Fan Powered Initiatives: CTRL Tokens will be used to fund unique campaigns that are driven by the fans of a team, which may include fan-funded player transfers, all-star games or new sports leagues and events utilizing the Control Protocol. There is no limit to what CTRL Token holders can propose and vote to develop as we build the future of interactive sports around the world.

About Control Protocol

The Control Protocol enables fans to take control of their favorite teams by working alongside professional coaches and athletes on the path to the championship. The Control Protocol has already been deployed with Fan Controlled Football and NASCAR, with golf launching very soon and a roadmap of global sports ahead including cricket, soccer, horse racing, basketball, baseball, and beyond.

The Control Protocol is a decentralized technology platform built to create a more interactive and rewarding ecosystem for sports fans. It aims to bridge the gap between sports and entertainment entities and their vibrant communities of fans, athletes, and content creators who traditionally have no input in the development of their favorite properties.

The Control Protocol is a digital-first solution to these traditional sports, that enables real-time interaction and interactive experiences for live sports and events that are uniquely suited to the digital age, which includes decentralized fan rewards and a governance structure that puts the fans in control through their ownership of the CTRL Token.

The Control Protocol will empower fans, coaches, players, and content creators - providing them with new opportunities to gain recognition and be rewarded for their contributions, while actively shaping the future of sports and entertainment. Ultimately, Control Protocol is dedicated to transforming the $350 billion sports and $200 billion gaming and esports industries by putting control into the hands of the people that make these industries so valuable, THE FANS.

The CTRL Token is the fungible token that powers the innovative dynamics of the Control Protocol. CTRL Token ensures the long-term growth of the protocol by facilitating unique forms of collaboration between teams, leagues, and fans, rewarding both fan engagement and fan content creation, and promoting the inclusion of fans in the decision making and governance process. With the CTRL token at its heart, the Control Protocol is designed to make fans the primary focus, creating a thriving, inclusive ecosystem that values every contributor and rewards them for their positive contributions.
