Web3 SaaS platform Roundtable has locked in a significant 10-year exclusive deal to manage The Hockey News' entire media network, commerce operations, and portfolio of 63 applications. The agreement comes after a solid one-year pilot that validated the partnership model. This move signals how Web3 infrastructure players are increasingly stepping into traditional media operations—blending decentralized tech capabilities with established content platforms. The extended contract term suggests both parties see real long-term potential here. For the broader ecosystem, it's a notable example of Web3 solutions finding real-world utility beyond just crypto-native use cases.

Web3 is really eating into traditional industries' bread and butter, and now Hockey News has been included... It's quite interesting.

Ten-year contract? This guy really dares to sign it. Web3 infrastructure is really starting to take a bite out of traditional media's market share.

Damn, a ten-year contract? Roundtable is really playing big now --- Web3 is really eating into traditional industries' jobs, I always said it would happen sooner or later --- 63 applications all at once, if this crashes, the metrics will look really bad --- But honestly, being able to lock in ten years directly from pilot shows that both sides have definitely seen real benefits --- Hockey News, this move was a gamble on the right side, let me see if it can reverse the downward trend --- Wait, can they really manage so many apps well? Or is this another Web3 hype case --- Ten years, that’s a pretty bold bet... If they change their tune halfway through, it’ll be a huge loss

Really? Hockey News is using Web3 now? These days, traditional media are also starting to explore decentralization. That's interesting.

This is what true Web3 implementation looks like, not just empty slogans. A ten-year contract shows that both parties are serious, and this move by Roundtable is very clever.

Hey, a 10-year contract? This guy is serious about it. Web3 is finally not just talk anymore.

theoretically speaking, if we abstract the interoperability vector here... roundtable's bridging traditional media into web3 infrastructure is basically recursive SNARKs but make it content, ngl. the 10-year lock-in feels like they're finally solving the blockchain trilemma but for SaaS. 63 apps across one protocol? that's some serious cross-rollup state verification happening irl
