Tristan Thompson has been keeping himself busy, as he continues to make waves in the Web3 space.
Months after launching TracyAI, the Cleveland Cavaliers center was announced as the Chief Advisory Officer for AxonDAO, a decentralized science (DeSci) platform that aims to revolutionize healthcare through AI and blockchain technology.
AxonDAO’s operating company, AXDT Inc., announced Thompson’s appointment in a press release on Thursday (June 19), stating that Thompson was drawn to the company’s mission to “return control of health data to individuals; reward ethical research participation through blockchain-powered incentives; and accelerate innovation in wellness domains such as nutrition, recovery, cannabis and psychedelics, and music-based therapy."
"Health is wealth. I believe in giving people ownership over their wellness journey, and AxonDAO is building the future of health, data and science in a way that includes everyone," Thompson said in a statement.
As the Chief Advisory Officer, Thompson will help AxonDAO expand into athlete-specific health markets, helping craft campaigns and marketing strategies that focus on recovery, sleep, nutrition and mental health. He will also lead outreach to other high-profile figures, including his fellow professional athletes.
“Athletes understand the importance of recovery, focus, and self-awareness," he said. "What we’re building with AxonDAO doesn’t just benefit professionals – it helps people live better, longer, and stronger lives."
