Zoop is a digital trading card platform founded by former OnlyFans executives RJ Phillips and Tim Stokely.[1][2][3]
Background
editZoop was launched in 2022 by Tim Stokely (founder of OnlyFans)[4][5] and RJ Phillips (former executive at OnlyFans).[1][2] The site allows users to buy, sell, and trade digital trading cards based on celebrities.[6][3][7] The cards will be officially licensed from the celebrities depicted.[1] During Zoop's initial launch, 500 cards of every celebrity on the platform will be released.[1][8] Prior to Zoop's launch, it is also offering Priority Passes that provide premium content for early registration.[6]
Zoop also gives users access to exclusive communities and perks based on the cards they own.[6][3] The platform will also feature contests and challenges to earn points that unlock rewards.[9]
Unlike its founders' previous company OnlyFans, Zoop does not host NSFW material. This was a conscious choice by the founders, after OnlyFans resisted their request to remove all adult material.[1][3][7]
Zoop was launched through the Polygon network.[1][10] Zoop collaborated with Polygon Studies to develop its platform.[11][12]
