Hello Harmony Community! 
I am thrilled to introduce AthleteFi, the first Web3-powered athletic service marketplace, where athletes, coaches, and Web3 participants connect to transform youth sports and drive growth in the $52B sports training and instruction industry.
Why Harmony?
Since joining the Harmony community in 2020 and actively participating as a Program Lead of the Recovery One Foundation since 2022, I’ve been dedicated to strengthening and growing Harmony’s ecosystem. Through the Recovery One Foundation, my mission is to drive sustainable growth for Harmony, and AthleteFi is a pivotal project in achieving this vision.
AthleteFi introduces a new demographic to Harmony’s ecosystem, encompassing:
- 44 million athletes in the U.S. seeking quality instruction.
- 650,000 coaches looking for modern tools to expand their businesses.
- Millions of Web3 enthusiasts who will engage with and support our service marketplace.
AthleteFi will seamlessly integrate with the ecosystem, providing tangible benefits to users and naturally showcasing Harmony’s 2-second transaction finality, low fees, and dApp-friendly environment through its use.
What is AthleteFi?
AthleteFi is a Web3-based athletic service and education marketplace. By integrating blockchain technology, NFTs, and smart contracts, AthleteFi offers a secure, transparent platform where athletes and coaches can connect, exchange services, and grow.
Key benefits include:
- Tokenized Achievements: Athletes can mint achievements as NFTs, creating verifiable digital records — like videogame achievements, but for real-life skill development.
- Decentralized Profiles: Coaches can showcase their credentials and unlock new revenue streams. These profiles can also be staked, allowing Web3 users to back coaches and earn rewards if the coaches perform well.
- Automated Operations: Web3 tools streamline booking, payments, and service management, improving efficiency and user experience.
