This partnership will kick off during the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup, offering fans the chance to participate in a pre-match strategy challenge, with real-life performance impacting their scores and potential prizes. The collaboration, set to run until 2025, aims to develop various Web3 use cases, including a fan passport for recording interactions and memories, all powered by NEAR's Blockchain Operating System. #News #NMN
