# The Song of Ludus

Hello Nerds! Heppy to announce that we have deplyed the Ludus token to mainnet. [Token](https://etherscan.io/address/0x03fdcadc09559262f40f5ea61c720278264eb1da), [LP Staking](https://etherscan.io/address/0x9494b87a5bc8d7be31f88821e5081dc5ab029eb2#code), [Ludus Staking](https://etherscan.io/address/0x055c2e794c6e1308b7a1b4c7b80aaf5ed757c2f6#code), [NFT Staking](https://etherscan.io/address/0x420ccf524d8b6ad1144ea48df212559a836a5261#readContract). This is a project long in the making that we're excited to share with all of you. Ludus is a decentralized matchmaking platform that rewards players for ranking against each other on a global league for any competitive sport. 

[The staking front end will be deployed shortly, Here's a preview] ![](https://i.imgur.com/VZZ3Ivt.png)


The competitive sporting league business is a tightly controlled monopoly where only the top athletes get paid back for the value they bring to the network. But the truth is that for any top athlete to emerge there needs to be thousands of other players for that player to rank against as he/she proves they are the very best at a sport. 

With Ludus we are trying to bring that value back to the network participants. Any player who participates in the network will get access to Ludus income, our rewards token for players, validators and liquidity providers once the distribution of Ludus has been completed.

The distribution of ludus will take place through staking of the Ludus Genesis NFT series. these tokens are available [here](https://opensea.io/accounts/Ludus). After the distribution is completed, the NFT tokens will be used as validator's stake along with the Ludus token.
