# 1.0 - Introducing ESTN ESTN has developed a comprehensive, blockchain-based Esports tournament platform to host, track, and reward players in a virtually unlimited number of Esports tournaments across multiple tiers of branded leagues. The ESTN platform tracks player performance across any platform-supported game. Our proprietary Universal Player Record (UPR) system is platform-centric and game-centric. This enables ESTN to track individual players across multiple games standardizing ranking methodologies across the Esports landscape. Grounding this UPR system in blockchain technology will guarantee fair and immutable record keeping and accurate real-time player performance assessments. Each player's UPR will update on the blockchain, ensuring transparency and accountability. The ESTN platform makes extensive use of smart contracts to operate at scale. Our smart contracts also provide any capable party, including investors who would rather be the Esports world's Mark Cuban; rather than its Seth Curry, with a streamlined path towards significant and sustainable revenues from the Esports industry. ![](https://2671206234-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-MiSGpmaGq5xiZzX8q8A%2F-Mir9B54A64k5pCp6euX%2F-Mir9McQJ-KUSn3kck00%2Fgamers%20playing.png?alt=media\&token=0b5108a9-6cb4-4207-8488-fd26c2aacfab) *"The healthiest competition occurs when average people win by putting in above average effort".* - Colin Powell --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
