BallsApp is a mobile platform that reimagines how players train and engage with cricket. Built on ball-tracking tech and Web3 incentives, the app turns any open space into a smart cricket training zone and delivers real-time performance feedback, skill-based challenges, and tokenized rewards.
The revolutionary platform uses advanced tracking technology to measure ball speed, spin and accuracy through smartphone-based ball tracking, requiring only a smartphone and tripod to deliver real-time feedback for players of all levels, from casual players and rising stars to professionals.
BallsApp already in ‘beta’ mode brings validation from major sporting events and associations, and contracted support from 30+ top athletes, Bollywood actors and legends, with global ambassadors bringing a combined reach in excess of a hundred millions followers.
Lilly is an ambassador for BallsApp and is an experienced Web3 educator and advocate based in Dubai, travelling internationally to host some of the biggest events as a master of ceremonies and moderator as well as hosting launch events and award shows in the blockchain industry.
What Is BallsApp And What Inspired You To Partner With Them?
BallsApp is a sports technology platform that combines real-world ball tracking with Web3 gamification. We’ve built a system where every ball can be measured, recorded, and turned into meaningful engagement for players, fans and brands. You can earn points the more real world bowling you do meaning its good for getting people outside, moving and then being able to challenge friends or anyone around the globe.
What Do BallsApp Do That Excites You?
What excites us most is how we turn everyday participation into digital value. A child bowling in the nets, a pro in a stadium or even a fan playing casually can now capture their performance and feed it directly into a connected ecosystem. This creates a bridge between grassroots sport and digital rewards, making cricket more interactive, competitive, and fun.
It Seems Like Everything Is Being Tokenised Nowadays; Why Does It Matter?
Tokenisation matters because it allows ownership, transparency and incentives at scale.
For BallsApp, tokenisation isn’t about hype; it’s about making sure the value created by the community flows back to the community. Players, fans and ambassadors can all share in the upside of engagement, rather than just being data points for someone else’s platform.

What Have Been The Biggest Challenges Trying To Balance Tokenisation And Technology?
The main challenge has been ensuring that the technology stands on its own, regardless of the token. Sports audiences don’t want complexity, they want simplicity, excitement and fairness. We’ve had to work hard to make the blockchain element seamless, so people can enjoy the sporting experience without needing to be crypto experts.
What Excites You Most About Web3?
Web3 excites us because it changes the rules of ownership. Instead of fans being passive spectators, they become active stakeholders in the sporting experience. It’s a chance to create new economies around play, data, and engagement, which is something cricket with its global fan base is perfectly positioned for.
What Problems Does BallsApp Solve And For Whom?
We solve a few key problems:
- For players: we provide recognition, rewards, and data ownership for their performance
- For fans: we turn passive viewing into active participation with interactive challenges and rewards
- For brands and sponsors: we offer authentic, data-driven engagement with cricket communities worldwide
What Does Web3, Blockchain And Crypto Provide To Cricketers Via BallsApp That Traditional Technology And Web2 Can’t?
Web3 provides three big advantages:
- Ownership — players own their performance data and digital assets
- Transparency — smart contracts ensure rewards are fair and traceable
- Global access — fans in any country can engage, earn and participate without barriers
What Is The Ultimate Goal For BallsApp?
Our ultimate goal is to become the global hub where cricket performance and fan engagement meet; a platform where millions of players, from grassroots to professionals, can track their game, build their digital sporting identity and earn value from it.
What’s Next For Ballsapp?
Next, we’re expanding partnerships with gaming platforms, broadcasters, and ambassadors to embed BallsApp more deeply into the cricketing world. We’re also rolling out new features that allow players to use their real-world data inside gaming environments, blurring the line between real and digital sport. Also watch this space for other ball sports joining the ecosystem.
