Blockchain technology is opening a new frontier in the gaming industry. Web3-based game platforms are capturing global attention by offering ecosystems where players and contributors thrive together through the use of NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens). Leading this charge is the SoccerGO (SCG) project.
SoccerGO is a Web3 social game platform that begins with soccer and expands into various sports such as golf, baseball, and basketball. By combining Punkvism’s blockchain expertise—known for the Punky Kongz NFT project—with a robust community network, SoccerGO integrates NFT chains and DAO governance to build an innovative sports gaming ecosystem. CEO Seon-woong Kim envisions a new future where sports fandom and digital assets intersect.
What makes SoccerGO’s unique “Sports Monopoly” mechanism stand out, and what are its global expansion strategies? We spoke directly with CEO Kim, who also has a legal background as a 29th-term graduate of Korea’s Judicial Research and Training Institute.
◆ Please introduce the SoccerGO project.
SoccerGO is a Web3-based social gaming platform that merges sports and digital assets. Starting with soccer, it will expand into golf, baseball, basketball, and even fishing—allowing players to enjoy games while owning and growing NFT assets. Built on the Solana mainnet, the platform offers fast transaction speeds and low fees. Its NFT chain structure enables asset interoperability between games, creating a community-driven ecosystem where players increase the value of their digital assets through gameplay and strategy.
◆ What makes SoccerGO’s “Sports Monopoly” mechanism unique?
SoccerGO combines traditional Monopoly-style board gameplay with sports simulation, forming a one-of-a-kind “Sports Monopoly.” Players roll dice to move across a board, triggering matches (soccer, baseball, etc.) when landing on stadium tiles. Depending on the results, players earn NFT fragments, in-game currency, and bonuses. These fragments can be combined to create player NFTs, which in turn can evolve into club or league NFTs. The training system enhances NFT attributes, adding strategic depth. Through NFT burning and fusion, SoccerGO maintains scarcity, making player decisions more impactful.
◆ What role does the SCG token play in the ecosystem?
The SCG token is the driving force behind SoccerGO. It serves as the currency for in-game purchases, NFT upgrades, DAO voting, simulation betting, and reward distribution. More than just a token, SCG connects the entire ecosystem. SoccerGO’s design ensures fair and transparent distribution of returns from game development, sports IP licensing, and global event collaborations through smart contracts. This enables early participants to share in the platform’s long-term growth.
◆ How is the NFT chain structure innovative within SoccerGO?
SoccerGO’s distinctive dual NFT chain consists of Genesis NFTs and Generated NFTs. Genesis NFTs offer rarity and governance rights, while Generated NFTs are dynamically created through gameplay. NFTs obtained from one sport can seamlessly function across other games, fostering the development of an interconnected multi-sport metaverse. This interoperability adds long-term value for both players and ecosystem contributors.
◆ Who is the target audience and what markets are SoccerGO focusing on?
SoccerGO targets global sports fans and Web3 users, with a focus on high-fandom regions such as Southeast Asia, Latin America, and North America. It aims to attract a broad player base including Gen Z, millennials, NFT collectors, and casual gamers. The game is designed to be accessible for both serious gamers and casual fans of sports. It has already received positive feedback in the North American market and is boosting brand awareness through partnerships with global Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs).
◆ How is DAO governance implemented in SoccerGO?
A key value of SoccerGO is its player-driven ecosystem. Through DAO-based voting, SCG token holders can participate in decisions regarding game policies, the addition of new sports games, and NFT issuance rules. This empowers players not as mere consumers, but as co-owners of the ecosystem. The transparent decision-making process builds trust and ensures long-term sustainability. DAO governance is the engine that drives SoccerGO’s collaborative growth with global fandoms.
◆ How does the partnership with Punkvism create synergy?
Punkvism’s Web3 expertise plays a crucial role in SoccerGO’s development. Punkvism is recognized for projects such as Punky Kongz, ChiChiPingPing, Double N, Star Rich Advisor, Eternal Moon, and MintAI, brings deep expertise in building and scaling blockchain ecosystems. Their technical infrastructure and global community network are helping SoccerGO expand, particularly in Southeast Asia and Latin America, where it is rapidly building active communities.
◆ How does SoccerGO differ from traditional game platforms?
Traditional games concentrate control in the hands of developers, with players acting solely as consumers. In contrast, SoccerGO gives players ownership of NFTs, voting rights through DAO, and RWA (Real World Asset) revenue sharing. Its Sports Monopoly system blends casual fun with strategic depth, offering a unique experience beyond conventional sports games. The multi-sport metaverse, where a soccer fan can use their NFTs in a baseball game, represents a level of interoperability unmatched in traditional gaming.
◆ How is SoccerGO preparing for regulatory and technical challenges?
SoccerGO closely monitors blockchain gaming regulations and is actively preparing legal frameworks. It strictly adheres to AML (Anti-Money Laundering) and KYC (Know Your Customer) protocols and has established a global legal advisory network in collaboration with Punkvism to ensure compliance in each jurisdiction. As a licensed attorney myself, I’ve been directly overseeing the project’s legal stability, drawing on my experience providing legal counsel to Korea’s Financial Supervisory Service and sports organizations.
◆ What is SoccerGO’s global roadmap?
Following the initial launch of SoccerGO in Q4 2025, the project plans to roll out GolfGO, BaseballGO, and BasketballGO sequentially. All titles will share a common NFT chain and SCG token economy for interoperability. The first phase targets Southeast Asia and Latin America, aiming to build a community of over 1 million users. Through KOL partnerships and content campaigns, the brand will expand globally. By 2026, SoccerGO plans to enter the North American and European markets, establishing itself as the core of the global sports metaverse.
◆ What is SoccerGO’s ultimate vision?
SoccerGO isn’t just a Web3 game—it’s a meta-ecosystem connecting global sports fandoms. It aims to create a world where soccer, baseball, and basketball fans form communities through gameplay and digital assets, and where their play and strategy are recognized as valuable. By integrating NFTs and DAO, SoccerGO fosters a player-first sports culture, and with Punkvism as a strategic partner, we’re steadily turning this vision into reality.
◆ Any final message?
At SoccerGO, players and fans are the protagonists of the ecosystem. SCG token holders will enjoy not only in-game rewards but also exclusive NFT events and global sports partnership benefits. We invite everyone who believes in the potential of sports and Web3 to join us in building a new digital sports universe. SoccerGO is growing with its global community and is poised to redefine the future of sports gaming.
