“Where Fans Kick Off.”

OleOle is building the world’s first social network and messaging platform built entirely for football fans. Imagine a hybrid of Twitter, TikTok, WhatsApp, live scores, and WeChat-style mini programs—all in one native, blockchain-powered SuperApp.

We’re using Rust, AI, and the Solana blockchain to deliver real-time translated content, in-match crypto gambling, fan rewards, and a decentralized app marketplace for clubs, brands, and developers.
