Introduction To NBA Top Shot

Introduction To NBA Top Shot
Table of Contents

NFT technology has enabled sports fans to have a more interactive experience with their favourite players and sports clubs. One of the prime examples of this revolution is NBA Top Shot, a NFT marketplace that launched in October 2020 and since then onboarded over a million sports fans that can collect and trade NBA highlights in the form of digital collectibles.

What Is NBA Top Shot? #

In collaboration with Dapper Labs, the National Basketball Association has created a completely new marketplace that allows NBA fans to collect memorable moments in the form of digital collectibles or NFTs.

Most interesting game highlights are picked by NBA officials and issued in limited edition series. Just like many NFT projects, some highlights will have thousands of available copies while others will be much harder to come by.

It is important to mention that owners of these NFT collectibles do not own the actual rights to the footage. They do own the collectible, but the NBA is still the copyright owner.

The digital file does come with a lot of on-chain data like player stats and performance at that point in time, which makes these collectibles a bit more than just simple video files.

How To Buy NBA Top Shot NFTs? #

New users can start by visiting the home page and creating a free account. From there they can purchase individual highlights from the marketplace or buy packs that contain one or more digital collectibles.

Every new account is accompanied with a Dapper wallet that can be funded with cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum and Bitcoin, or with credit/debit card deposits that have a 5% service fee.

After the wallet is funded, buying and selling items on the market is very straightforward. It is only up to fans to choose if they want to try their luck with packs or if they want to buy individual collectibles from the market.

Conclusion #

NBA Top Shot is surely an innovation in the relationship between sports clubs and fans. For many, owning your favourite highlights is an improvement compared to owning a simple trading card.
Those that find this new model interesting will surely have a great time trading and collecting NBA official NFTs and the overall impression is that Top Shots has something to offer to both hardcore fans and speculators alike.

  • What do the risk ratings mean?

Our mission here at RugDoc is to screen for hard rug code that results in 100% theft of ALL underlying funds for ALL participants.

This is the ONE part of the due diligence process that most people cannot simply do on their own as it costs thousands of dollars to hire a senior solidity developer to look over a farm for safety.

A project coin with terrible code can go up in price, and a project with good code and a good team can also go down in price.

Do NOT use our ratings to refer to your likelihood in making money if you invest in the project. They are ONLY in reference to code safety.

Everything else beyond code safety is YOUR responsibility to go do research on. We just make sure the casino you’re betting in won’t rob you before you even get to place a bet.

Our reviews for projects are organized into a few colors.

🟢 Least Risk
These projects are the least likely to hard or soft rug. Usually reserved for cornerstone projects of an ecosystem where it makes no financial sense for them to rug in any manner as they make more money just being legit.

🔵 Low Risk
These projects are usually established projects in an ecosystem that have a track record of success or have KYC’d to us or other authoritative sources in the real world. As a result, it is extremely unlikely for them to soft rug or hard rug their projects. The projects can still fail and the token price can go down, but usually more as a result of natural market forces.

⚪️ Some Risk
This is the default rating for projects with unknown teams but have code that is unlikely to have hard rug risk. Since the team is unknown and doesn’t have a track record of success, it’s entirely possible that they may try to soft rug by dumping tokens, abandoning the project, etc. Even a last minute contract swap to a malicious contract is possible. The only thing that is unlikely is a complete hard rug as long as you are 100% sure you deposit into the contract we review.

🟠 Medium Risk
Similar to Some Risk, but the underlying code itself is custom enough or complex enough that it warrants an elevated risk rating that needs deeper research. Make sure you read every point presented to make sure you’re comfortable with that before entering. Still unlikely to hard rug, but more chances of custom code behaving incorrectly and causing other issues.

🔴 High Risk
Project contains code or practices that are HIGHLY LIKELY to lead to catastrophic losses as they are right now. Make sure you read the description carefully as we will always warn what these issues are. If you see the words Hard Rug anywhere in the review, STAY FAR AWAY!

⚫️ Not Eligible
We reserve the right to not review exceedingly complex projects that would require tens of thousands of dollars of senior security analyst man hours. Typically these are projects that deal with leverage, lending, options, derivatives, and anything that is overly complex and which requires tons of peer reviews and audits from top audit companies.
