Today, the BIG3 announced that Snoop Dogg – the legendary entertainer and member of Mt. Westmore – and Ken Howery – co-founder of PayPal (NASDAQ:) and successful venture capitalist – have teamed up to purchase 25 Fire-Tier editions of Bivouac, receiving ownership-like value and utility in the team. This purchase follows the recent announcement that NFT communities DeGods, Gary Vaynerchuk and VeeFriends, Bill Lee and MyDoge/DogeCoin, and Krause House have each purchased all 25 Fire-Tiers of the Killer 3’s, Trilogy, Aliens and Ball (NYSE:) Hogs, respectively.

These NFT deals are part of the BIG3’s new model of ownership announced last month which leverages blockchain technology to sell NFTs offering ownership-like benefits via two-tier options comprising 12,000 editions – 1,000 for each of the league’s twelve teams that include 25 Fire priced at $25,000 each and 975 Gold priced at $5,000 each. This weekend, all remaining editions go on sale at 11:00 a.m. ET for Discord Members on Saturday May 7. The site will be open to the general public at 11:00 a.m. ET on Sunday May 8.

Ken Howery, co-founder of PayPal said that “The BIG3 has been at the forefront in enabling blockchain technology to be used as a utility.” The league’s acceptance of NFTs in ownership rights is visionary as well as practical. This makes it a smart investment.
BIG3 was the creator of FIREBALL3, a new international sport. The league will return for its fifth season, with live coverage on CBS and Paramount+. Known as a groundbreaking league that focuses on innovation, the BIG3’s 2021 season saw notable new changes and experiences, including the addition of the “Bring the Fire” rule allowing teams one challenge per half determined by an in-game one-on-one.

Ice Cube, co-founder of BIG3, stated that “We are thrilled to have Snoop and Ken and their communities aboard with the BIG3.” It is encouraging to see someone like Ken, with his knowledge and experiences wanting to join our league. Snoop, an undeniable legend, has leapt headfirst into Web3 and understands both the value and importance of the project we’re trying to build. We are excited for them to take Bivouac up to new heights.
