London, 28th March 2025 — Plyaz, the pioneering Web3 platform tokenizing athlete potential on the Blockchain, is thrilled to announce its strategic partnership with Grants Sports, a leading UK-based scouting and sports development agency. This collaboration marks a major milestone in Plyaz’s mission to democratize athlete funding and fan engagement through blockchain technology.*
A Game-Changing Alliance for Athletes
