Game of Silks operates a blockchain-based fantasy sports platform that simulates ownership of real-world thoroughbreds, awarding players when the horses they own win races or breed. The game tracks the careers of real racehorses and issues gamified digital collectibles that mirror on-track outcomes. Launched in June 2021 by Dan Nissanoff and Troy Levy, Silks has formed partnerships with NYRA, NYRA BETS, Saratoga, Belmont, Aqueduct, FOX Sports’ Americas Best Racing, and The Jockey Club to integrate real-world racing into its product. The company reports an organically grown community of over 25,000 people and says it has attracted over $10 million in capital to date. Silks positions itself to deepen fan engagement in horse racing by expanding access to owner-like experiences through blockchain collectibles. The team highlights continued product development and partnership-driven growth as priorities to reshape fandom in the sport.
