September 17, 2026 — nGRND Gold Protocol and Predictfully today announced a strategic partnership designed to connect sports fan engagement with the growing nGRND Gold Protocol Staking & Rewards Ecosystem. The partnership brings together two platforms built around a simple idea: participation should have value. Predictfully is a free-to-play sports fan engagement platform that allows fans to put their sports knowledge to work by making predictions about matches, moments and player performances, playing games and puzzles, earning points and climbing leaderboards to compete for rewards. There is no financial stake, no odds and no house. The nGRND Gold Protocol takes a similarly participation-driven approach to Web3. Through its Staking & Rewards Ecosystem, NGRND token holders can participate across eight Participation Streams, creating an ecosystem designed to recognize and reward active engagement rather than simply passive token ownership. Together, nGRND and Predictfully intend to create a bridge between sports, Web3 and rewards that is simple enough for mainstream users while offering additional engagement opportunities for existing Web3 Participants. Making Web3 Easier for Sports Fans For Predictfully users, the partnership provides a natural pathway into the nGRND Gold Protocol Staking & Rewards Ecosystem through something millions of people already understand: sports. Predictfully has deliberately removed many of the barriers normally associated with blockchain applications. Fans can sign up using email or social login, make their predictions and earn points without needing to understand wallets, seed phrases or blockchain technology. The underlying technology works in the background. Users make predictions across sports including football, basketball, American football, racing, rugby, boxing and cricket. Correct predictions can earn points, while early predictions and streaks can generate additional points. Weekly leaderboards provide opportunities to earn prizes funded by clubs and sponsors. Through the nGRND.io relationship, this type of active sports participation can become part of a broader Web3 rewards experience. More Ways for nGRND.io Participants to Engage For the nGRND Gold Protocol Staking & Rewards Ecosystem, Predictfully introduces another entertaining way for Participants to engage with the Staking & Rewards Ecosystem. Rather than participation being limited to traditional crypto activities, nGRND is building an ecosystem where everyday activities can create engagement opportunities across its eight Participation Streams. Sports prediction is a natural fit. A Participant can follow the games and teams they already care about, test their knowledge, compete with other fans and participate in activities that can be incorporated into the broader nGRND Gold Protocol rewards experience. The result is intended to make Web3 participation feel less like interacting with technology and more like participating in activities people already enjoy. Two Communities, One Participation Economy The partnership also creates opportunities for both ecosystems to grow. Predictfully gains exposure to a community of Web3 Participants and token holders who already understand digital ownership, participation and rewards. nGRND Gold Protocol Staking & Rewards Ecosystem gains access to a sports-focused platform designed to attract mainstream users who may have little or no previous Web3 experience. Predictfully has been live in free-to-play mode since Q3 2025 and has grown to more than 6,000 registered users and 250,000 on-chain transactions. The platform is built on the Avalanche blockchain and is also developing white-label experiences for professional sports clubs and rights holders. Since the launch of nGRND.io in early August 2026, over 115,000 registered Participants have joined, with multiple opt-ins, completing almost 700,000 engaged activities. The common ground between the two communities is straightforward: people like to participate, compete, achieve and be rewarded. Predictfully brings the sports experience. nGRND.io brings broader participation and rewards ecosystem. Together, they can introduce users from each community to new experiences without requiring them to change the activities they already enjoy. “At the nGRND Gold Protocol, we believe the future of Web3 is not simply about owning a token — it is about what people can do with it and how they are rewarded for participating,” said David Lucatch, Chair of nGRND. “Predictfully is a great example of the type of partner we want in the nGRND Gold Protocol Staking & Rewards Ecosystem. They have taken something millions of people already love — sports — and created a simple, fun and free way for fans to participate and be rewarded. By bringing our communities together, we can introduce more people to Web3 through experiences they already understand and enjoy. NGRND drives the participation. Rewards provide the incentive. Partners like Predictfully make the ecosystem more useful, engaging and fun.” “Fans have always predicted. What they’ve never had is a way to be rewarded for it without a bookmaker taking a cut. Predictfully fixes that, and partnering with nGRND.io puts it in front of a community that already understands what it means to own something real,” said Ben White, CEO of Predictfully. Building Around Participation At its core, the partnership reflects a shared belief that the next stage of Web3 adoption will come from making blockchain technology useful without making users think about the technology itself. Predictfully already follows this approach: fans play, predict, earn points and compete while blockchain infrastructure operates in the background. The nGRND Gold Protocol is applying a complementary philosophy through its Staking & Rewards Ecosystem, where NGRND drives participation and Participants can engage across multiple activities and experiences. For both communities, the message is simple: Participate in what you enjoy. Be recognized for that participation. And have the opportunity to be rewarded for it. The nGRND Gold Protocol and Predictfully partnership is designed to make that experience bigger—connecting sports fans, Web3 Participants, partners and brands through a growing participation-driven rewards economy. Sports creates the engagement. Participation creates value. Rewards bring the communities together. About Predictfully Predictfully is a free-to-play sports fan engagement platform.

Verification comes before value creation. Before extraction: Geology. Reports. Measurements. Studies. Evidence. The record comes first. nGRND starts there. nGRND.io @nGRND_io @nGRNDesg @DigItGoldGame @Forbes @Futurist_conf @FirstClassMetal

The nGRND model follows a structured path from verified in-ground gold to participation-based rewards. ① Verify Gold — In-ground resources are validated under NI 43-101/JORC standards by independent Qualified People. ② Secure Rights — Long-term renewable alternative land-use rights support the model. ③ Preserved Gold — Circulating Gold Protocol Tokens are supported by preserved gold held in the treasury and secured with a digital custodian for provenance. ④ Staking Rewards — The model incorporates preserved-gold appreciation alongside alternative land-use monetisation and related revenue streams. ⑤ Distribute Returns — Rewards are tied to incentivised participation, staking multipliers and governance participation. @nGRND_io @nGRNDesg @DigItGoldGame @Forbes @Futurist_conf @FirstClassMetal Comment below: what stands out most about the nGRND approach to keeping gold in the ground while building utility around it?
