OSPREY COIN
Is there a place for blockchain and crypto in college baseball?
Cryptocurrency tokens and NFTs could eventually be used to help people support their favorite athletes directly through decentralized blockchain technology. Is this happening anytime soon? Nope. Osprey Coin (SWOOP) was created by an Osprey Baseball alumni for educational and informational purposes to inspect what real world value (if any) blockchain could provide to supporters and fans of athletics programs. It was ultimately created for fun and should be treated as such. Osprey Coin (SWOOP) is a token on the Polygon network with a total supply of 1 million. The coin has no value and is being used as a way to explore blockchain technology and all it has to offer. Grab one for yourself or send one to a friend. SWOOP!!

OSPREY COIN
$SWOOP
This Crypto Token has absolutely NO purpose or value right now, but wouldn't it be cool if it did? Maybe you could use it to buy custom NFTs with utility (more on that later), maybe you could mint it directly into crypto wallets of student athletes, maybe you could use it as a rewards points system for fans. TBD on all that, for now they are just fun "collectables". If you want some Osprey Coin here's how you can get some:
-
Go get a crypto wallet (Coinbase Wallet, MetaMask, Ledger, etc.)
-
Buy POL on your favorite exchange (i.e. Coinbase, Binance, etc.) and put it into your crypto wallet.
-
Come back here or go directly to https://app.uniswap.org/ and connect your crypto wallet to uniswap.
-
Change network to Polygon.
-
Select POL on one side and Osprey Coin on the other (NOTE: "Osprey Coin" can also be replaced by the token contract address which can be found in the FAQ).

... and if you don't know what any of this means... you might want to pass until you watch a few tutorials on youtube.
NFT COLLECTION
This NFT collection was built using Artificial Intelligence (AI) by feeding inputs related to 'UNF Baseball'. This collection has no real world utility, but wouldn't it be cool if an NFT collection related to a sports team did have real world utility? Maybe one gets you season tickets for life, maybe another gets you membership into a "fan club". TBD on all that. For now they are just like Osprey Coin, fun "collectables". These were "lazy" minted on OpenSea onto the Ethereum network and If you don't know what any of this means, just keep scrollin'.
WE LOVE OSPREY COIN!
But would never actually try to obtain one...
If you got a chuckle out of this fan made project, but want nothing to do with Osprey Coin (I don't blame you), you can still support The University of North Florida athletes in a much more direct and old-fashioned way by following the below link to make a traditional donation:

GET TO KNOW THE TEAM BEHINDÂ OSPREY COIN
Who the F*ck would do this...
FRANCIS JOSEPH FERRANO III
Mastermind
Francis is a UNF Ospreys fan and thought this was a great idea that could bring real world value. He is always professional and logical, so he fully understands this is not a revolutionary project and actually quite silly.
TREY FERRANO
Creative Director
Trey was intrigued by this idea that Francis had and wanted to stretch his technical muscles to make this project a reality. Learning about minting ERC-20 tokens, creating NFTs, cold hardware wallet storage, liquidity pools, etc has been fun for him. There is still plenty to learn, but for now this satisfied his curiosity.
DAD
Tired
Dad is tired, but loved carving out some time for this project while the baby boy napped.
MY SHOULDER HURTS
NARP
My Shoulder Hurts is a non-athletic regular person (NARP), but was at one point an athlete and therefore does bring some value to this project. If he would have bought BTC instead of MJNA stock while in college he'd be living on his own private island. but he didn't so we don't listen to him very much.
