Photo Finish™ LIVE Announces Solana Derby, Interactive Experience
As promised, Photo Finish™ LIVE intends to utilize the biggest Solana stage as the perfect launchpad for what's to come.
And this week, we introduced just a fraction of what we're excited for the community to learn more about in the coming days.
As many of you have heard, Photo Finish™ LIVE is thrilled to announce that it will host the inaugural Solana Derby live at Solana Breakpoint in Singapore on September 21.
Virtual horses competing in this sixteen-horse Solana Derby will be owned by some of Solana's most iconic figures, including Solana co-founders Raj Gokal and Anatoly Yakovenko; Mert Mumtaz, co-founder and CEO of Helius; Nom, founder of Bonk; Solana influencers Ansem and Jakey; and many mothers.
“We couldn't be more excited to bring the Solana Derby to life at Breakpoint this year,” said Ian Cummings, CEO and Founder of Third Time Games.
“There is no better place to showcase the exciting announcements around Photo Finish™ LIVE than at the biggest Solana conference of all time, with Toly, Raj, and so many others who have been vital to its success story.”
Unveiling A Brand New Interactive Experience
The Solana Derby will do more than bring together Solana's most iconic personalities in a virtual horse race; it will mark the unveiling of a prototype of an exciting element Photo Finish™ LIVE plans to bring to market: in-person off-track betting.
Within the Solana Breakpoint Gaming Village will be an interactive experience featuring a 55-inch touchscreen station. Attendees can use this touchscreen to select the horse they believe will win the race and receive an NFT of their chosen horse.
As part of its 2024-25 global expansion roadmap, Photo Finish™ plans to offer sports bars and venues worldwide the opportunity to place off-track wagers via interactive touchscreen stations or, alternatively, a continuous live stream that may be accessed via a ROKU app that has been developed and is currently in beta testing.
“The Solana Derby is more than just a race; it's the beginning of a new chapter in how we envision the future of spectating and betting on sports,” Cummings added. “By introducing this interactive experience at Breakpoint, we're demonstrating the incredible potential of what we're building while at the same time following the model of real horse racing and the popularity of off-track-betting sites located around the world, all powered by the speed and security of the Solana network.”
