Portuguese tech startup Dotmoovs has officially wrapped up a major research and development initiative. The project transforms how athletic talent is discovered and evaluated using computer vision and Web3 infrastructure.
Supported by national innovation funds, the €1.3 million investment includes €922,000 provided through Portugal’s Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR). This milestone marks the Dotmoovs PRR funding completion 1 million euros 2026 phase.
Unlocking Merit-Based Scouting via Blockchain
Developed under the Blockchain.PT Mobilizing Agenda, the project focused on PPS 12—a specialized digital network for athletes. The platform allows sports enthusiasts to upload smartphone video recordings of their performances to receive instant, unbiased technical evaluations.
This rollout highlights the growing capabilities of the Dotmoovs Blockchain.PT sports talent discovery platform, which addresses several longstanding challenges in traditional scouting.
Automated scoring engines calculate performance precision based on body movement and skill execution, completely eliminating subjectivity.
Furthermore, results are recorded on-chain to provide an auditable, cheat-proof history of an athlete's progress over time. Users also earn rewards through Dotmoovs' native $MOOV utility token to create direct financial incentives for physical achievement.
Expanding Automated Refereeing Across Disciplines
A central achievement of the project is the integration of automated refereeing for freestyle football, dance, and boxing. By leveraging advanced machine learning, the platform allows athletes in remote or under-resourced regions to gain exposure to professional coaches, clubs, and sponsors without needing physical travel.
The deployment of AI video analysis sports talent scouting Dotmoovs technology demonstrates how computer vision can democratize global sports scouting.
For software engineers and Web3 specialists navigating market trends, exploring active coworking spaces can help foster regional tech collaborations. Growing Web3 and AI companies can also leverage these technological shifts to connect with top engineering talent across Europe.
