The Dolphins are excited to announce a new partnership with ZKP, a challenger brand at the forefront of blockchain and decentralized AI. This marks ZKP’s first foray into sport — a unique opportunity to showcase how advanced technologies are reshaping data, intelligence, and trust in the digital age.
The partnership was driven by the Dolphins’ strong attendances, high viewership, and bold challenger identity as a club — qualities that align closely with ZKP’s vision for decentralized innovation.
ZKP is building a privacy-first blockchain ecosystem where artificial intelligence can be distributed, verified, and scaled across a global network. By combining Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) with decentralized compute, ZKP ensures that powerful AI models can run securely without exposing sensitive data.
For sport, that opens up transformative applications:
Performance & Health: enabling AI-driven injury prevention and workload monitoring while keeping player biometrics secure.
Fan Engagement: powering personalized experiences, ticketing offers, and match insights without compromising supporter privacy.
Integrity & Trust: verifying AI-driven officiating tools or fraud-detection systems with cryptographic proof of correctness.
Terry Reader, Dolphins Chief Executive Officer, said:
“Partnering with ZKP allows us to bring cutting-edge technology into the heart of sport. We’re proud to welcome an international innovation partner whose values align with our challenger spirit. Together, we’ll explore how AI and privacy-first technologies can create new value for our players, fans, and the wider game.”
Jeff Wilck, Chief Blockchain Officer at ZKP, said:
“At ZKP, we see sport as the ultimate proving ground for technology. Teaming up with the Dolphins is an opportunity to show how innovation can enhance both trust and performance, on and off the field.”
As part of the partnership, ZKP branding will feature across Dolphins home games at Suncorp Stadium and in selected digital campaigns throughout the season. Fans can also expect to see activations that highlight how blockchain and AI are converging to power a more secure and inclusive digital future.
