Barcelona Fans Go Deeper into Web3 with Cardano-Based Fan Lab Platform

FC Barcelona has launched its new Barça Fan Lab platform on the Cardano network in collaboration with technology partner Andamio. The project is backed by Catalyst Fund 13, a decentralized community grant program.

The platform links the club's existing digital identity framework, BarçaID, with a Cardano Web3 wallet to store verifiable credentials.

According to FC Barcelona, the system allows users to store access tokens and educational badges without requiring advanced knowledge of cryptographic self-custody.

The curriculum is structured across four modules, covering the club's history, environmental sustainability, social inclusion initiatives, and digital collectibles.
