Although Nerds are rarely seen on a sporting field, we are often behind making sure everything is working properly. This is why [Ludus](https://playludus.io)caught our attention as a project that can solve a 60 billion dollar problem: Pay athletes for the value they bring to a sporting league, at any level.

Most of the value from these competitions and the effort players put into training is often extracted by federations and leagues that pull off tremendous profits by only incentivizing the top 1% of players of any given sport. With Ludus, everyone will get rewarded for their played matches, according to their ELO rating which will allow up-and-coming talent to PLAY TO EARN and have an avenue to self-fund their sporting career.

This is why we have advised Ludus from an early stage, and are happy to announce that Ludus will put a [Genesis 001](https://opensea.io/assets/0xd07dc4262bcdbf85190c01c996b4c06a461d2430/181087) NFT in the NERD DAO custody (valued at 100 ETH). This NFT will be sharded and 49% of its own will be yield farmed to NERD-ETH LP and NFT-ETH LPs

- LP holders will be able to earn a proportional amount of the Ludus tokens yielded by the Genesis 001 NFT
> 
- Once the Ludus distribution is complete the NFT will still produce Ludus Income which will be yielded through the same system

We are going to continue pushing great ideas forward and sharing them with our awesome community. Stay tuned!

Cheers,

A.
