USG Entitlement Token Profile

A Standards-Track Specification for Tokenized Sports Access

This RFC defines the USG Entitlement Token Profile, a standards-track specification for issuing, validating, and enforcing tokenized authorization within the Universal Sports Graph. It provides mandatory claims, optional extensions, security and privacy requirements, replay protection, error semantics, and verification logic for interoperable sports access.

The Universal Sports Graph

A Protocol for Rights, Reach, and Real-Time Access

This RFC defines the Universal Sports Graph (USG), a neutral interoperability framework for sports rights registration, tokenized access, and clearinghouse settlement. It treats broadcast rights as structured data to enable transparent distribution, programmable contracts, and federated sports access.

The Approach

Scott Jellen is an independent researcher working at the intersection of interoperability, rights modeling, and digital infrastructure. He is the creator of the Universal Sports Graph (USG), a standards-grade protocol for sports rights and access. His ongoing research includes whitepapers, briefs, and RFC-style specifications that clarify incentives and provide structural models for modern systems.
