Patent pending · Sports Performance Linked Assets
The ultimate performance asset.
Fans have always owned a piece of the game: the jersey, the signed ball, the rookie card. Our patent-pending system lets them own the performance itself. Any athlete, any team or any basket of them becomes an asset with a published value that rises when they deliver. And every asset moves in exactly one way: through contracted volume placed on prediction markets.
The ultimate piece of sports ownership
A card is priced by collectors. A performance asset is priced by the game.
The jersey
Worn on game day.
It never knows whether he scored.
The signed ball
Scarce by design.
Priced by whoever wants it most.
The graded card
Priced by collectors.
It moves on hype and supply, long after the game.
The performance asset
Moves with the game itself.
It backs your athlete or team to deliver. Every game they play becomes part of its value.
Priced by performance, not by supply and demand
Units are issued and redeemed at net asset value: the pool's value divided by the units outstanding. No peer-to-peer market sets the price, so a rush of buyers cannot push it up and a wave of sellers cannot push it down. When the athlete or team delivers, NAV rises. When they fall short, NAV gives back no more than the slice that asset's rules commit. If they sit, nothing is placed and nothing moves.
Define the asset
Locked rules: the athlete, team or basket, the success it backs (20+ points, a win), the slice it commits per game and its exposure caps. Fixed by hash at launch.
Check, then commit
Before every game the rules run: on the roster, game on, a market open, the price in range. If all pass, the contracted slice is placed on regulated prediction markets.
The game settles
They deliver: NAV rises. They fall short: NAV gives back no more than the slice. They sit: nothing is placed and nothing moves.
Own it at NAV
Fans would own units through a regulated prediction-market partner that launches the assets. Every subscription and redemption happens at NAV.
For prediction markets
Contracted volume, every game.
Every performance asset is a standing commitment to trade. Its rules place a set slice on prediction markets every game its athlete or team plays: hot streak or slump, primetime or a Tuesday in March. For a venue, that is volume it can plan on.
- Contracted, not hoped for. The volume is written into each asset's rules and routed across venues by price, limits and execution quality.
- Scale, illustrated. Each asset's rules set its own slice. At 1% a game, $100 million of performance assets commits $1 million of volume every game, or $82 million across an 82-game NBA season.
- A new kind of customer. Fans who would never trade a single game can own a season of their favorite player, and every one of them adds volume.
Every player. Every team. Every index.
Own the performance of any athlete, any team or any basket. Each asset backs its athlete or team to succeed and carries its own NAV. Index assets hold a weighted basket of other assets, rebalanced by rule: an index fund of athletes, priced the same way. Illustration; figures are not live.
Real seasons, replayed
Watch a performance asset live a real season.
We ran real 2024 NFL seasons through the rules: public results, real closing prices, a 1% slice per game. The asset rewards beating expectations, not popularity. The Commanders kept winning games the market priced them to lose, and their asset finished above the champion Eagles.
2024 Philadelphia Eagles, an asset backing a win every game. Real results and closing moneylines (nflverse), converted to probabilities with the margin removed. 1% slice, before fees.
2024 season, an asset backing 100+ rushing yards each game, at an assumed 50¢ price. In Week 18 he was rested: nothing was placed and NAV did not move.
The 2024 NFC East as four team assets and an equal-weight index, at real closing prices.
Players and teams are named only to replay public game results. No affiliation, endorsement or license is implied, and no performance asset exists on any of them. Replays are not a track record, a forecast or a recommendation.
A clean underlying
Built for sports derivatives and futures.
Sports futures and season-long markets price off sentiment and thin books today. A performance asset's NAV moves only on settled outcomes, so it works as a reference price that order flow cannot push around: a natural underlying for futures, options and season-long contracts on a player, a team or an index.
The filing record · patent pending
57 claims on file. Priority from June 9, 2025.
Two filings protect the performance asset: a U.S. provisional application that set the priority date, and an international application under the Patent Cooperation Treaty that carries all 57 claims and keeps more than 150 countries open.

What the filings secure
- Priority from June 9, 2025. The international application claims priority to our U.S. provisional, so the claims it supports date from June 2025.
- Global reach, still open. A PCT application covers every contracting state, more than 150 countries. The owner chooses where to enter by about December 2027 (31 months at some offices, including the European Patent Office).
- 11 independent claims. Eleven separate ways the invention is claimed: the system, the method, the venues, the rules, the NAV, the index. A competitor has to clear every one.
- Royalty rights can start before grant. Once the international application publishes, expected December 2026, a U.S. patent that later issues with substantially identical claims can carry a reasonable royalty from anyone who used the claimed invention after publication with actual notice of it (35 U.S.C. § 154(d)).
- A long runway, if granted. Patents from this application would generally run 20 years from the June 9, 2026 international filing date, to about June 2046, subject to fees and adjustments.
What the claims cover, in plain terms
Patent pending means these applications are on file with the USPTO and under the Patent Cooperation Treaty. No patent has been granted. The provisional application is not examined; the international application has not yet been published or examined, and its claims may be amended or narrowed before any patent issues. The scope of any patent is set only when it issues. Summaries here are plain-language descriptions, not the claims themselves, and are not legal advice. Once the international application publishes, we will link the publication here.
