The short answer is that Sirius provides the required features to make this project work.
It has the bitcoin UTXO model for the SIRX coin that can easily be integrated with current BTC payment systems, the ability to run Solidity Smart Contracts in an EVM and the fact that they don't do PoW makes it orders of magnitude faster and cheaper compared to Ethereum.
We also have a very good relationship with the Sirius developers and see them as partners that can walk with us on this journey.

Thanks very much M.minor We are very excited as we are getting more and more publicity around the world.
Hi there guys and gals,
My name is Jaco Rossouw and I am the CEO of SportsPodium. You can view my profile on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/jaco-rossouw-67a6149/
What do you get when you combine over 20 years' IT experience with a sports obsession and some blockchain technology? One of the top tech startups to watch in 2018, that's for sure!
I am proud to be working with some of the most brilliant minds across the globe to create the world’s largest, completely transparent, sports information database - SportsPodium.
The SportsPodium conceptualisation started in 2012. After two years of research and development, MyRugbyCV.com was born and quickly signed up 7 000 rugby players, just in one city. In 2016, the incredible disruptive capacity of blockchain technology broadened our horizons and our ideas matured, refining our reputation and talent identification algorithms into what is now SportsPodium.
Now jump forward to 2018, SportsPodium already has a network of celebrity sports ambassadors across several sporting disciplines in each region. This network of recognised, household names, along with community interaction, will ensure large-scale user adoption of the platform.
But the real beauty lies in blockchain - the SportsPodium blockchain will be at the heart of this system to enable sportspersons to capture their daily training, dietary and competition information while being rewarded with cryptocurrency. The elegant convergence of cryptocurrency technology, social interaction and real-world human activity, we will create a thriving ecosystem with innumerable commercial opportunities. And blockchain technology has already been lauded as the biggest contributor to future innovation, which strengthens the sustainability of the SportsPodium value offering.
The best part of the solution? Regardless of the athlete’s age or level, they can earn an income and market themselves to the right clubs or sports bodies, assisting them to reach the highest level possible – all depending on their talent and drive.
Implementing this sustainable solution, purely based on merit, it will greatly aid in promoting transformation at grassroots level that will carry through into the senior and professional levels.

Brilliant and thanks for joining @cryptobongo

Is launching on Sirius
SportsPodium is a transparent, blockchain-based sports community that will enable a new economy by unlocking undervalued and un-monetized aspects in sports utilising the power of blockchain technology.
With our unique reputation algorithms, SportsPodium is creating the world’s largest, completely transparent, sports information database. It will make fairness, merit and equal opportunity the benchmark for competition as well as reward and will create an open and engaging platform for sports lovers all over the globe to share in the excitement of sports and fitness.
Sports participants will be rewarded with PODs for their data that they contribute to the blockchain. The blockchain will benefit from this data by providing data centric services such as targeted advertising and talent identification.
SportsPodium has an inclusive model and we partner with existing sports application providers. We provide these providers with the value of rewarding their user bases with POD tokens in return for access to their sports data and information. We are also partnering with various sports equipment providers and online shops that will accept PODs as payment for their goods and services.
Late last year we announced the SportsPodium project with our POD token. But in order to place ourselves in a more prepared position - and protect our investors, we decided to forego our ICO at that time and raised only enough start up cash to build our team and initial tools and to prove our SportsPodium concept in the real world for our first sport: Golf.
Well, our D-day has arrived! 21 June marked the start of our Golf Application.
This day also launched the first sport on our platform and a few other significant announcements:
- We will use the newly launched Sirius smart blockchain as our platform https://getsirius.io
- Rugby Superstar, Bryan Habana, will be our ambassador for our first team sport. Bryan Habana has scored the second most International tries in the history of the game. He is also the 7th most capped rugby union player of all time.
- Partnerships in the pipeline with various existing sports applications including the Ultimate Aim Group.
- We are launching three more sports in the coming months
- Cycling
- Running
- Rugby
