The New Infrastructure of Fandom: How Loyalty, Identity, and Memory Will Power the Next Wave of the Internet
In the last decade, we've seen major technological shifts—but remarkably little change in how fans and creators truly connect. Platforms have grown louder and algorithms smarter, yet the elements that once made fan culture meaningful—recognition, memory, and participation—have been flattened into fleeting likes and scrolls. The next era of the internet will reverse that trend. And it will do so by rebuilding the infrastructure of fandom itself. At Endless Protocol, our mission has always been to bridge today's internet with the decentralized future—embedding ownership, identity, and programmability into experiences people already care about. One of the most promising expressions of that vision is Luffa , a new messaging-native platform designed not to host fan engagement, but to power it. From Feed-Based Culture to Memory-Based Commerce Social platforms were built to amplify content, not to remember people. Every action is temporary. Fans are forced to start over in each app, with little continuity or recognition. What if digital identity could remember who you are—and reward how you show up? Luffa creates a persistent, wallet-native "fan graph" that logs actions like chats, tips, quests, and events. These aren't just engagement points—they're part of your personal history. Over time, that history becomes a reputation layer others can read, reward, and build on. Studies of behavioral loyalty systems show that sustained participation—rather than one-off actions—drives deeper emotional connection and long-term retention. Luffa turns loyalty into infrastructure. Messaging as Operating System Luffa looks like a messaging app. But under the hood, it's an identity layer, loyalty engine, and creator interface rolled into one. Fans use it to interact, earn, and unlock. Creators use it to launch campaigns, distribute perks, and get paid. Brands plug in to offer rewards tied to real behavior. Because identity lives in the wallet, users control it. This aligns with growing support for self-sovereign identity —where data is user-owned and portable across applications. In Luffa, each interaction enriches that identity. Memory becomes programmable. Loyalty becomes visible. Messaging becomes infrastructure. When Loyalty Leaves the Screen What happens when this programmable identity connects to the physical world? Imagine checking into a hotel and unlocking exclusive artist content—because your wallet shows you've been to past shows. Or scanning a QR code on merch that drops you into a live campaign. Or joining a SuperGroup chat at a concert venue and earning rewards for real-world participation. These are already being piloted through global entertainment and hospitality networks—using Luffa as the connective tissue between in-person experiences and on-chain identity. It reflects a growing shift toward phygital experiences , where the digital layer enhances physical presence. With Luffa, a fan's loyalty can be activated anywhere—at events, through merchandise, or during travel. It transforms space itself into a medium for identity expression. A New Stack for Creators and Brands Luffa isn't just a fan tool—it's a stack for the entire creator economy. Today, creators are spread across Discord, Patreon, Shopify, and social media—with no unified system for audience identity or engagement history. Luffa simplifies this by giving creators one dashboard to run campaigns, manage fans, drop content, and receive payments. Because fans carry their identity and perks with them, loyalty becomes cumulative. A tip in one chat can lead to perks in another. Past participation unlocks future access. Brands, meanwhile, can structure campaigns around verifiable engagement—not algorithmic reach. The broader implication? A new loyalty graph underpins culture—not just commerce. Systems like Luffa offer brands high-signal interactions, creators direct access, and fans a persistent record of who they are across digital and physical channels. Institutions as Infrastructure Some of the most impactful deployments of Luffa are happening not through individual artists or brands, but through global institutions—those with deep ties to music, media, travel, and lifestyle. These partners aren't just adopting loyalty tools. They're becoming cultural infrastructure. By integrating Luffa into their venues, platforms, and events, they can onboard fans into identity-aware ecosystems without requiring wallets or Web3 knowledge. Loyalty is earned at the point of action—whether that's attending a show, checking into a hotel, or scanning an activation code. These partnerships signal a shift from "fan engagement" as a marketing function to loyalty as an asset class . One that can be measured, monetized, and most importantly—owned by the fans themselves. Why Now We're at an inflection point. The Web2 model—where platforms own the audience, and creators rent it—has begun to break down. Attention is commodified. Loyalty is fragmented. Identity is spread across dozens of services. The next wave of platforms won't be judged by scale alone. They'll be evaluated by how well they remember, reward, and reflect their users. Luffa meets this moment by enabling a system where fandom is not just an emotion—it's an identity. This isn't about "fixing" social media. It's about rebuilding what comes after. The Persistent Companion Fans Didn't Know They Were Missing Fans don't need another feed. They need a home. A digital companion that reflects their identity, recognizes their contributions, and gives them credit for showing up—not just watching. Luffa doesn't compete with social media. It redefines the layer underneath. It's where wallet, identity, and memory converge into programmable loyalty. And it's already being deployed at scale. With each message, tip, scan, and moment, fans aren't just participating—they're building something. Something they own. Something they can carry. And something that makes fandom mean more.

Super Group Raises Full-Year Revenue and EBITDA Guidance After Record Q2, Announces Intention to Exit U.S. iGaming
Record second quarter performance driven by strong sports results, pricing optimization, robust customer engagement and operational improvements Raising full-year 2025 guidance: Ex-U.S. revenue expected to exceed $2.0 billion and Adjusted EBITDA in excess of $480 million Intention to exit U.S. iGaming following recent regulatory shifts impacting long-term U.S. expected profitability, underscoring disciplined capital allocation and sharper focus on core markets One-time restructuring cash cost related to the anticipated U.S. iGaming exit approximately between $30 million to $40 million; cost savings expected to begin in 2026 Full Q2 update will be provided in August and longer-term outlook to be presented at Investor Day on September 18, 2025, in London, U.K. NEW YORK, July 08, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Super Group (SGHC) Limited (NYSE: SGHC) ("SGHC," the "Group" or "Super Group"), the holding company for leading global online sports betting and gaming businesses Betway, a premier online sports betting brand, and Spin, a multi-brand online casino offering, today provided an update for its second quarter performance, raised 2025 guidance and announced its intention to exit from the U.S. as part of an ongoing strategic review to streamline operations and enhance long-term shareholder value. Super Group's positive momentum over recent quarters continued in 2Q 2025, with solid revenue growth across all markets. This was driven by strong sports results, improvements in pricing models, more efficient risk management, a full calendar of sporting events, record deposit levels, and ongoing robust customer engagement and retention across both casino and sports in key markets. As a result, Super Group is pleased to announce that 2Q 2025 is expected to be the strongest quarter in the Group's history. This continued and diversified strength increases confidence in the full-year outlook for 2025, and the Group is raising Ex-U.S. guidance accordingly: Total revenue is now expected to exceed $2.0 billion vs. prior guidance of $1.925 billion Total Adjusted EBITDA is now expected in excess of $480 million vs. prior guidance of $457 million Neal Menashe, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are very pleased with our performance in the second quarter, reflecting continued momentum and discipline across our core markets and further validating the strength of our operating model and brands. We remain focused on driving profitable and sustainable growth through consistent execution and continue to be super-confident in the long-term growth potential of our business." Super Group Announces Intention to Exit U.S. iGaming The Group also announced that it intends to exit its U.S. iGaming operations, following a comprehensive evaluation of its global priorities, the evolving regulatory landscape, and the U.S. unit's financial performance. The Group is currently evaluating its strategic options in this regard. Neal Menashe, Chief Executive Officer, stated, "This is a difficult decision, particularly because our U.S. team has worked hard and made progress over recent quarters. Nonetheless, recent regulatory developments combined with ongoing assessment of capital allocation requirements have led us to believe that our stringent hurdle for return on capital will likely not be met in this market any time soon. We therefore intend to focus capital and resources on markets where we see the greatest opportunity for scalable, sustainable, profitable super growth, with a disciplined emphasis on operational efficiency." Alinda Van Wyk, Chief Financial Officer, commented, "Various strategic exit options are under consideration. We are still early in the process but nonetheless would expect to incur a one-time cash restructuring cost of approximately $30 million - $40 million in connection with such an exit and are actively pursuing multiple efforts to minimize the impact thereof. Further details regarding these potential costs will be shared during our second quarter earnings release." Further insights into the Group's performance and strategic outlook will be shared at the Investor Day on September 18, 2025, in London, U.K. About Super Group Super Group (SGHC) Limited is the holding company for leading global online sports betting and gaming businesses, Betway, a premier online sports betting brand, and Spin, a multi-brand online casino offering.

For more information, visit Non-GAAP Financial Information This press release includes non-GAAP financial information not presented in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB", hereafter "IFRS"). Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP company-specific performance measure that Super Group uses to supplement the Group's results presented in accordance with IFRS. EBITDA is defined as profit before depreciation, amortization, finance income, finance expense and income tax expense/credit. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA adjusted for RSU expense, change in fair value of options, unrealized foreign exchange, gain on disposal of business, impairment of assets, US sportsbook closure, market closure and other adjustments. Super Group believes that such non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating the Group's operating performance as they are similar to measures reported by the Group's public competitors and are regularly used by securities analysts, institutional investors and other interested parties in analyzing operating performance and prospects. Management does not consider non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS. The principal limitation of a non-GAAP financial measure is that it excludes significant expenses that are required by IFRS to be recorded in Super Group's financial statements. Non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results and guidance prepared in accordance with IFRS, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, IFRS results. In addition, other companies, including companies in Super Group's industry, may calculate similarly named non-GAAP measures differently than Super Group, which limits their usefulness in comparing Super Group's financial results with theirs. We do not provide a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most comparable IFRS financial measure (corresponding GAAP metric) on a forward-looking basis because we are unable to forecast certain items required to develop meaningful comparable GAAP financial measures without unreasonable efforts. A more detailed update, including a full reconciliation of any non-GAAP measure to the most comparable IFRS financial measure (corresponding GAAP metric) will be provided when the Group reports its second quarter results in August. Forward-Looking Statements Certain statements made in this press release are "forward looking statements" within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, Super Group's expected financial results, expectations of costs and savings associated with exit from the U.S. market, and expectations and projections of market opportunity, growth and profitability. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "intend," "strategy," "future," "opportunity," "plan," "pipeline," "possible," "may," "should," "will," "would," "will be," "will continue," "will likely result," and similar expressions, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this press release, including those under the heading "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on April 3, 2025, and in Super Group's other filings with the SEC. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and Super Group assumes no obligation and does not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law. Super Group does not give any assurance, representation or warranty that it will achieve its expectations in any specified time frame or at all.

Is Super Group (SGHC) (SGHC) a Buy as Wall Street Analysts Look Optimistic?
When deciding whether to buy, sell, or hold a stock, investors often rely on analyst recommendations. Media reports about rating changes by these brokerage-firm-employed (or sell-side) analysts often influence a stock's price, but are they really important? Let's take a look at what these Wall Street heavyweights have to say about Super Group (SGHC) Limited (SGHC) before we discuss the reliability of brokerage recommendations and how to use them to your advantage. Super Group (SGHC) currently has an average brokerage recommendation (ABR) of 1.17, on a scale of 1 to 5 (Strong Buy to Strong Sell), calculated based on the actual recommendations (Buy, Hold, Sell, etc.) made by six brokerage firms. An ABR of 1.17 approximates between Strong Buy and Buy. Of the six recommendations that derive the current ABR, five are Strong Buy and one is Buy. Strong Buy and Buy respectively account for 83.3% and 16.7% of all recommendations. Check price target & stock forecast for Super Group (SGHC) here>>> While the ABR calls for buying Super Group (SGHC), it may not be wise to make an investment decision solely based on this information. Several studies have shown limited to no success of brokerage recommendations in guiding investors to pick stocks with the best price increase potential. Do you wonder why? As a result of the vested interest of brokerage firms in a stock they cover, their analysts tend to rate it with a strong positive bias. According to our research, brokerage firms assign five "Strong Buy" recommendations for every "Strong Sell" recommendation. In other words, their interests aren't always aligned with retail investors, rarely indicating where the price of a stock could actually be heading. Therefore, the best use of this information could be validating your own research or an indicator that has proven to be highly successful in predicting a stock's price movement. Zacks Rank, our proprietary stock rating tool with an impressive externally audited track record, categorizes stocks into five groups, ranging from Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) to Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), and is an effective indicator of a stock's price performance in the near future. Therefore, using the ABR to validate the Zacks Rank could be an efficient way of making a profitable investment decision. Although both Zacks Rank and ABR are displayed in a range of 1--5, they are different measures altogether. Broker recommendations are the sole basis for calculating the ABR, which is typically displayed in decimals (such as 1.28). The Zacks Rank, on the other hand, is a quantitative model designed to harness the power of earnings estimate revisions. It is displayed in whole numbers -- 1 to 5. Analysts employed by brokerage firms have been and continue to be overly optimistic with their recommendations. Since the ratings issued by these analysts are more favorable than their research would support because of the vested interest of their employers, they mislead investors far more often than they guide. On the other hand, earnings estimate revisions are at the core of the Zacks Rank. And empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements. Furthermore, the different grades of the Zacks Rank are applied proportionately across all stocks for which brokerage analysts provide earnings estimates for the current year. In other words, at all times, this tool maintains a balance among the five ranks it assigns. There is also a key difference between the ABR and Zacks Rank when it comes to freshness. When you look at the ABR, it may not be up-to-date. Nonetheless, since brokerage analysts constantly revise their earnings estimates to reflect changing business trends, and their actions get reflected in the Zacks Rank quickly enough, it is always timely in predicting future stock prices. In terms of earnings estimate revisions for Super Group (SGHC), the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year has remained unchanged over the past month at $0.51. Analysts' steady views regarding the company's earnings prospects, as indicated by an unchanged consensus estimate, could be a legitimate reason for the stock to perform in line with the broader market in the near term. The size of the recent change in the consensus estimate, along with three other factors related to earnings estimates, has resulted in a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for Super Group (SGHC). You can see the complete list of today's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>> It may therefore be prudent to be a little cautious with the Buy-equivalent ABR for Super Group (SGHC).
