Partnership draws support from Kyra Gracie, ninth-degree red belt Luiz Carlos Guedes and Zé Mário Sperry to deliver a new standard of decentralization and transparency to jiu-jitsu.
Moonbeam Network, a smart contract platform for building cross-chain connected applications, today announced its partnerships with the World Jiu-Jitsu Certifier (WJJC) and blockchain infrastructure provider W3block to launch a global registration platform for all Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioners and instructors.
WJJC will bring a new standard of decentralization and transparency to jiu-jitsu and the larger martial arts ecosystem, supported by several marquee names in the sport, including four-time World Jiu-Jitsu champion Kyra Gracie, ninth-degree red belt Grandmaster Luiz Carlos Guedes and three-time World Jiu-Jitsu champion and former star MMA fighter Zé Mário Sperry.
