This white paper outlines the technology stack GOLball uses to facilitate these interactions, ensuring seamless and secure user experiences.

GOLball's Web3 Tech Stack

1. Polygon

GOLball uses the Polygon network to deliver a scalable and efficient platform for our users. With faster and more cost-effective transactions than the Ethereum network, Polygon helps to remove barriers to entry and facilitates user engagement with GOLball's services. The network's high throughput and low gas fees enable us to create an accessible environment for trading NFTs, participating in raffles, and interacting with our platform's various features.

2. Venly.io

To ensure a secure and seamless onboarding experience, GOLball integrates with Venly.io for wallet creation during user registration. Venly.io's user-friendly interface and robust security measures enable our users to access GOLball's services with ease while keeping their digital assets safe.

3. Chainlink

GOLball utilizes Chainlink's decentralized oracle network to maintain fairness and transparency in our raffle collections. By leveraging Chainlink's verifiable random function (VRF), we can guarantee the randomization of the raffle winner selection process. This integration promotes a trustless and provably fair environment, encouraging user participation and confidence in the platform.

4. Snapshot.org

GOLball employs Snapshot.org to facilitate decentralized governance for the Fan Pool collections. This platform enables GOLball users to vote on proposals and make collective decisions, empowering the community to shape the platform's future direction. Snapshot.org ensures that our user base has an active role in decision-making, fostering a sense of ownership and shared responsibility.

5. OpenZeppelin.com

GOLball leverages OpenZeppelin's suite of battle-tested smart contracts for the creation and management of our NFTs. By using OpenZeppelin's ERC721 standard, we ensure our digital collectibles adhere to industry best practices and provide a seamless and interoperable experience for our users.

We also utilize OpenZeppelin Defender Relayers, which offer a secure and scalable infrastructure for managing our NFT factory smart contracts. Defender Relayers enable us to optimize transaction management and automate critical operations, reducing the risk of human error and enhancing the overall security of our platform.

Additionally, GOLball incorporates OpenZeppelin's NFT factory smart contracts, streamlining the process of minting and managing NFTs on our platform. This integration ensures robust security and a reliable infrastructure, enhancing the overall user experience.

6. OpenSea & Internal Marketplace Development

For secondary market trading of NFTs, GOLball currently utilizes the OpenSea marketplace, providing users with a reliable and well-established platform for buying, selling, and trading their digital collectibles. However, we are also actively developing an internal secondary marketplace for our NFT collections, aiming to deliver a seamless and user-friendly experience tailored specifically to GOLball's community.

7. Pinata.cloud

GOLball leverages Pinata.cloud for decentralized and reliable storage of our NFT metadata and associated digital assets. As a leading IPFS pinning service, Pinata.cloud ensures the persistence and availability of our platform's digital content, making it accessible to users across the globe.

By utilizing Pinata.cloud, we safeguard the integrity of our NFTs and guarantee their long-term accessibility, even in the event of potential platform disruptions. This integration allows GOLball to deliver a secure and dependable experience for users, reinforcing our commitment to building a stable and resilient ecosystem for soccer fans worldwide.

Conclusion

By leveraging solutions like Polygon, Venly.io, Chainlink, Snapshot.org, Telegram, Discord, OpenSea, and our upcoming internal marketplace, we provide an accessible, secure, and engaging platform for soccer fans worldwide.
