FC Barcelona has taken a major step forward in its web3 journey with the launch of Barça.Pass — the club’s first and only official digital wallet, created in collaboration with Futureverse and built on The Root Network.
Designed to serve a global fanbase of over 230 million, Barça.Pass combines verifiable digital identity, true ownership of digital collectibles, and access to immersive, gamified experiences — all through a seamless web3 onboarding experience.
Barça.Pass is powered by Pass, Futureverse’s scalable and customizable onboarding solution — making it possible to bring global fan engagement on-chain at unprecedented scale. This isn’t just a digital product — it’s a foundational layer for the next era of sports fandom.
A Digital Gateway to the Barça Universe
Barça.Pass redefines how fans connect with FC Barcelona in the digital age.
Through the platform, supporters can:
- Create fully customizable avatars in official team kits
- Collect and manage exclusive digital memorabilia
- Use their assets across curated and open metaverse experiences
- Explore a growing ecosystem of games and mobile experiences
It also integrates directly with Barça ID — meaning more than 11 million existing users can access Barça.Pass from day one.
“In collaboration with Futureverse and through blockchain technology, FC Barcelona can now assign ownership and ensure the traceability of the club’s digital assets. The Barça.Pass, created for our global fanbase, enables supporters to own exclusive digital assets and engage in immersive, gamified experiences. It represents our gateway to the digital realm and marks the first step toward building the FC Barcelona metaverse: a space that combines passion, innovation, and community for the fandom to shape its own future.” – Jordi Mompart, Director of Data & Innovation at FC Barcelona.
Built with Pass, Powered by The Root Network
At the core of Barça.Pass is Pass — Futureverse’s secure, user-friendly smart wallet and digital identity solution. Pass is purpose-built to onboard global audiences at scale, providing:
- Passwordless sign-up
- Customizable brand control
- Enterprise-grade security
- True ownership of digital assets
And behind Pass is The Root Network — our blockchain infrastructure is designed to bring content, identity, and experiences on-chain. It enables seamless onboarding through features like account abstraction and an any-token gas economy, helping eliminate the technical hurdles that often block mainstream adoption.
This is how millions of fans can go on-chain without ever needing to understand blockchain mechanics — only that their digital identity, assets, and experiences are fully theirs.
“There are millions of Barça fans around the world who have never had the chance to attend a match or even purchase official gear,” said Aaron McDonald, Co-Founder and CEO at Futureverse.
“With Barça.Pass, they now have something just as meaningful. It’s a fan-first solution that allows FC Barcelona fans to join in on the fandom no matter where they are based. Our seamless technology makes the perks of Web3 accessible without the clunky, technical hurdles. Collectibles are no longer just items; they are memories, digital extensions of a fan’s journey with their favorite team. This new frontier is growing rapidly as younger, tech-native audiences curate micro-communities online, playing games, trading collectibles, and creating meaningful connections with their teams and fellow fans.”
Unlocking the On-Chain Future of Fandom
Barça.Pass offers a glimpse into what’s possible when one of the world’s most iconic sports brands embraces the potential of an open, interoperable digital future.
This is more than a collectible drop or one-time campaign — it’s the foundation for a persistent, evolving fan experience that spans games, apps, and metaverse environments. Through The Root Network, fans gain a verifiable digital identity and the power to truly own and carry their assets across platforms.
By bringing fans on-chain, FC Barcelona isn’t just extending its legacy — it’s helping shape the next era of fandom, where ownership, creativity, and connection live at the heart of the experience.
This milestone sets a new standard for fan engagement in web3 — and we’re excited to be part of the infrastructure making it possible.
