NEW YORK – Blockman PR – November 10, 2025 – YouBallin, the event-driven SocialFi protocol built on Solana, has confirmed its public $YBL token pre-sale will open Thursday, November 13 at 11:00 AM EST, with quick claimability enabled through fully audited smart contracts.
YouBallin merges the creator economy with blockchain transparency, turning fan engagement into measurable on-chain participation. Built for creators, athletes, and fans, the protocol replaces the unpredictable algorithms of Web2 with verifiable ownership, revenue sharing, and community-governed incentives that reward authentic cultural contribution. By bridging social engagement with decentralized finance, YouBallin gives users a direct stake in the cultural moments they help create — shifting audiences from spectators to shareholders in real time.
The $YBL token powers YouBallin’s two-phase competition model: in Phase 1, Legends scout and select Talent to compete; in Phase 2, Fans cast votes using $YBL, directly influencing outcomes and distributing prize pools on-chain. The token design includes a 1 billion total supply, with 38.2% circulating at TGE and 15% publicly unlocked. A dynamic pricing feed via Alchemy ensures transparency in valuation, while 5% of every transaction is automatically burned to sustain long-term scarcity and ecosystem health.
“Centralized algorithms buried creativity under opaque engagement metrics,” said Patrick Heinz, CTO and Co-Founder of YouBallin, who previously contributed to core engineering at Filecoin and Syscoin. “$YBL replaces that opacity with verifiable, on-chain economics — creators see where value flows, fans see their impact, and every transaction becomes proof of participation.”
Ecosystem Breakdown
• Talent: Claim 80% NFT shares from the 40% vote pool, plus direct $YBL tips.
• Fans: Vote using $YBL to allocate 30% of the prize pool and earn loyalty points redeemable for airdrops and DAO voting rights.
• Brands: Use $YBL for sponsorships, analytics dashboards, and DAO-based event placement.
All roles connect through YouBallin’s smart-contract infrastructure, ensuring transparent payouts and removing intermediaries. The public pre-sale initiates TGE liquidity, with instant claiming at launch — a first among SocialFi-based creator platforms. Unlike legacy projects with extended lockups, YouBallin offers real-time distribution, allowing early participants to interact with staking, tipping, and governance features immediately after purchase.
Built on Solana’s high-throughput network, YouBallin benefits from near-zero gas fees and sub-second settlement, enabling seamless voting experiences and scalable fan events. The roadmap includes cross-chain interoperability through LayerZero, NFT marketplace integrations, and AI-assisted prediction markets for cultural events, where $YBL can be used to forecast or sponsor outcomes.
The upcoming MVP introduces a live leaderboard, token-gated content, and NFT receipts for every vote — proof of participation that also fuels loyalty rankings and airdrop eligibility. DAO governance, expected post-TGE, will empower token holders to propose platform rules, event formats, and future reward distributions.
