OnlyFans Founder Launching Celebrity Trading Card Platform, Zoop, Backed by Polygon

Polygon, the top global blockchain
ecosystem, invests in new digital trading card platform created for
celebrities, led by former OnlyFans executives

NEW YORK, NY – (NewMediaWire) – June 8, 2022 – Led by a robust team of Web3
developers and former OnlyFans executives, Zoop is set to launch their digital
collectable trading platform powered by Polygon, the decentralized Ethereum scaling
ecosystem. Zoop’s
platform allows users to buy, sell, collect and trade 3D digital playing cards
of their favorite celebrities.

On Zoop, fans can acquire officially
licensed, limited edition digital cards, and are able to sell and trade them in
a secondary market.

“Zoop is the trusted home for
authentic celebrity card drops, enabling all fans, regardless of their
technical expertise, to participate in the web3.0 space. We hold users’ hands
as they compete in acquiring digital collectables in the auction process, show
off their holdings to friends and ‘collect-to-connect’ with their favorite
celebrities of today and tomorrow. Zoop provides access to communities based on
the cards users own, and rewards points to users for their interactions with
each other and within these communities. We are excited to be launching Summer
2022,” says RJ Phillips, Founder and co-CEO of Zoop. “It’s a win for
the celebrities, creates excitement for the fans and a new way for brands to
connect with their customers,” he said. 

Zoop is capitalizing
on the booming blockchain gamification market, which grew to a $40 billion
industry in 2021. And, by
2026, the industry is predicted to grow to $147 billion. By opening up the platform and
combining it with today’s
influencer-driven creator economy, Zoop’s app allows fans to collect 3D digital trading cards from
their favorite influencers and celebrities, fostering a closer connection
between fan and influencer. Fans can buy, sell, and trade cards, as well as
compete in competitions and challenges to gain points, unlocking special
rewards including access to like- minded communities.
Zoop’s inclusive ecosystem is creating
value for digital trading cards by enabling a fully transparent leaderboard. 

The Zoop team will be led by
co-CEOs Tim Stokely, tech Entrepreneur and founder of OnlyFans, and RJ
Phillips. Tim, who will be joining the team in time for the launch this summer,
brings extensive knowledge of the creator economy and a proven track record in
building a true tech unicorn while RJ’s
expertise in growth and scaling make for the perfect leadership team. Together,
Tim and RJ plan to leverage their past career successes and knowledge of the
creator economy to ultimately scale Zoop into a global digital trading card
ecosystem that drives value for both creators and fans alike. 

As a precursor to its initial
launch, Zoop is offering a limited number of pre-launch Priority Passes (PP),
which reward the earlier adopters with a host of perks, both in-app and
real-life, in addition to exclusive airdrops only for PP holders. The first
batch of these Priority Passes are available now at mint.zoopcards.com.

Zoop will be building its digital
marketplace on the globally recognized Polygon blockchain network. Like Zoop,
Polygon believes in Web3 for all, making them an ideal partner and blockchain
of choice for the Zoop platform. Their low transaction costs and high security
standard make card trading on Zoop safe and accessible for all. Additionally,
Polygon’s
sustainability commitment to make all their NFTs carbon-negative by the end of
2022 was another important factor for Zoop.

“We’re delighted to be working
with the Zoop team as they build out their platform on Polygon. Zoop aligns
with our mission to bring Web3 technologies to a much broader demographic, and
allowing fans to connect to their favorite celebrities via Polygon is another
step towards this goal,” said Michael Blank, COO of Polygon Studios, who
has been providing Zoop with a suite of services such as technical support,
Web3 game design and distribution, asset expansion and more.”We’re

Zoop’s announcement comes just
weeks after Instagram began minting their non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on
Polygon’s carbon-neutral network as well.
