what's football.fun?
Football.Fun is a blockchain-based fantasy sports platform that integrates real-world soccer with decentralized trading and prediction mechanics, allowing users to own fractional shares of player performance through tokenized assets. Built on the Base layer-2 network, it features a dynamic economy where players acquire shares via pack openings and trade them on a liquid in-game exchange, with values fluctuating based on real match outcomes and user predictions. The core innovation lies in its skill-based tournament system using tournament points (TP) and skill points (SP), transitioning to a unified TP model to streamline rewards and promotions, while incorporating loyalty bonuses and referral schemes to foster community engagement. Targeted at soccer enthusiasts and crypto traders, it positions itself as the definitive on-chain sports speculation market, enabling users to build squads, compete in divisions, and earn yields without traditional intermediaries. Notable integrations include partnerships with projects like Moonbirds for holder incentives and Fantasy Top for competitions, enhancing its role within the Base ecosystem's gaming and DeFi intersection.
