Sorare, an NFT-based fantasy sports platform, has announced a blockchain migration to Solana, calling the move “It’s not a replacement, it’s an upgrade.”
According to the official thread posted on X, Sorare’s switch to Solana is designed to accelerate its vision of an “open and on-chain sports platform where speed, liquidity, and utility are at the core of a new digital sports economy.”
The migration begins in early October, with ETH balances shifting from StarkEx to Base, Coinbase’s Layer‑2 network. By the end of October, all existing Sorare cards will be reissued as Solana NFTs, maintaining their original scarcity tiers, XP, metadata, and serial numbers.
Sorare will also introduce multi‑chain payments, supporting ETH, SOL, and stablecoins for in‑game purchases and player rewards. Users will soon be able to manage assets directly through Phantom Wallet and trade their cards across external NFT marketplaces such as Magic Eden.
Sorare also hinted at a utility token, which would reward users for gameplay and trading activity, unlocking new utilities across its ecosystem. Sorare is not the first project to migrate to Solana as projects like Helium and DeGods have also taken similar approach for better performance and cost‑efficiency.
