The waitlist gets early access to $BALL at the same price as everyone else, plus first entry to the free preseason game. Launch emails only.

There is no $BALL yet. Anything trading under that name before the countdown ends is not us. The only official contract address will be posted on this page and on @knowballfun. We will never DM you first.

How it will work

Every athlete gets one token. Fans trade it, and the trading fees split automatically between the athlete, a nightly pool for breakout performances, and a burn of $BALL.

  1. The Draft

    Bid $BALL for the right to launch an athlete's token. Half of every winning bid is burned, and the athlete gets a signing bonus before he plays a game.

  2. Trade athlete tokens

    One token per athlete. Nearly half of every trading fee is paid to him in dollars, straight to his X handle. He does not need a wallet.

  3. Roster who you hold

    Your wallet is your roster. Hold an athlete's token through the final buzzer and he scores for you. Free paper rosters play on the same leaderboard.

  4. Everybody gets paid

    The Game Ball pool goes to the night's breakout athletes. The best rosters win $BALL, token bags and a share of the season pot.

Beat your own baseline

Athletes are scored against their own recent form, not against each other. A bench player's breakout beats a superstar's ordinary night, so knowing the whole league matters more than owning the biggest names.

Tonight's Game Ball raceIllustrative example
1 Backup guardUsual night 9 fantasy points. Tonight 31. +3.4
2 Rookie wingUsual night 14. Tonight 33. +2.6
3 Sixth manUsual night 22. Tonight 38. +1.9
4 SuperstarUsual night 52. Tonight 58. +0.5
Stars still earn the most from their own token's trading fees. The pool is where everyone else gets their night.

$BALL

Athlete tokens follow one player. $BALL follows the whole game.

It launches first because the Draft runs on it. You will never need it to buy an athlete token or to play.
