We were a web3 project. Today we're games, community and technology.
The Starcks story, straight. Where we started, what we learned, what we do today.
2022How it started
One idea: bring fans closer to the players.
Starcks is founded in Rome with a first round of one million euros. At first there is only a player-token exchange. That's the crypto world, where we started.
May 2022
Starcks is founded, with a €1 million round
2023What it was
Fantasy football built on tokens.
Player tokens become a game. You field them, take on the community and win prizes.

Starcks The Game launches
2024The lesson
The game matters more than the token.
New players and a first partner club arrive. And we learn something. The community comes to play, more than to trade. We start rethinking Starcks around the game.

2025The turn
New model, new team.
We abandon web3 and become a football skill-game platform. The Star Token leaves the blockchain and becomes a digital voucher for in-platform use.
