FIFA Collect evolves and is migrating the platform to the FIFA Blockchain, an EVM-compatible blockchain. This upgrade will support better performance, future features, and improved scalability

FIFA Collect is migrating its digital collectibles platform from Algorand to a new FIFA Blockchain that is EVM-compatible, meaning it can work with Ethereum-style wallets and smart-contract tooling. FIFA says the move is intended to improve performance, scalability, and future product features, and the rollout begins with the migration of FIFA Collect itself. The new chain is being described as a custom blockchain built on Avalanche technology, according to FIFA’s own launch page and Avalanche’s announcement. That matters because it signals a shift from relying on a third-party public chain to a FIFA-branded infrastructure designed for broader fan-engagement products, including collectibles and potentially other digital experiences tied to tickets and future features.
