DeFiChain To Sponsor the National Fighting Championship in Germany

Singapore, March 07, 2023 – DeFiChain, the world's leading blockchain on the Bitcoin network dedicated to bringing decentralized financial applications and services to everyone, is delighted to announce that its community has voted to sponsor the National Fighting Championship (NFC) this year. The NFC is the German version of the widely known UFC, in charge of the mixed martial arts (MMA) fighting league in Germany.

NFC is the biggest German MMA league, with the latest NFC event (NFC 10) reaching more than 10 million viewers worldwide. It is hosting six live events in 2023, and each event attracts 2,500-6,000 fans onsite. The fights are also broadcast on German television on Sport1 as well as on social media. DeFiChain will sponsor the following five of the six events this year:

• 25 March, 2023: NFC 13 Westfalenhallen Dortmund

• 27 May, 2023: NFC 14 Maritim Hotel Düsseldorf

• 16 September, 2023: NFC 15 Telekom Dome Bonn

• 11 November, 2023: NFC 16 Showpalast Munich

• 16 December, 2023: NFC 17 Maritim Hotel Düsseldorf

Michael Ortlepp, Managing Director of the NFC organizer Fighting GmbH, said, "It is a great joy and privilege for us to announce our partnership with DeFiChain. NFC as well as DeFiChain follow the same values and goals and are made for a great partnership that will have a lasting effect on the German MMA scene."

DeFiChain is excited to announce its sponsorship of the largest German MMA league, a move that will undoubtedly increase its visibility and expand its reach within the burgeoning German crypto market. As a forward-thinking blockchain platform, DeFiChain recognizes the importance of staying ahead of the curve and engaging with its target audience in meaningful ways.

Through extensive market research in collaboration with various agencies, DeFiChain identified a strong interest in sports, particularly in gaming, basketball, fighting sports, and drone racing, among its crypto user and developer base. The sponsorship of the NFC is a natural fit, and DeFiChain looks forward to further exploring synergies between sports and the blockchain space.

"I'm really happy about the partnership between us and the team of fighting.de. With the DeFiChain sponsored 10,000€ "Fighter of the Night Bonus" we are able to give the fighters the appreciation they deserve. Our community is looking forward to being part of this fantastic fighting community," said Benedikt Keck, Project Lead NFC Sponsoring at DeFiChain.

As part of the sponsorship, DeFiChain will be offering a "Fighter Of The Night Bonus" for the best fight of the evening. The fighters will be directly paid in DFI to their Wallet, giving them the flexibility to use it as they wish. They can either spend it or invest it in dStocks or liquidity mining on DeFiChain, which offers even more rewards.

In addition, DeFiChain will be running a "Fan of the Night Bonus" program, where one lucky fan will be randomly selected during the live event. If they can demonstrate that they have the DeFiChain Wallet installed, they will receive a whopping 1,000 DFI. This exciting initiative aims to reward DeFiChain fans and encourage greater participation in the crypto world.

DeFiChain is a fully decentralized blockchain that boasts on-chain governance. Following the successful mainnet launch in May 2020, the project has received extensive contributions from the community, which spans various aspects of the blockchain, including masternodes, governance, projects, tools, and economic concepts. The blockchain's codebase has been created via an open-source approach, which has led to widespread peer review and discussion by numerous stakeholders.
