Football.fun, a new crypto fantasy football game, has passed $100 million in Total Value Locked (TVL) in less than two weeks. With typical fantasy sport backing, players earn rewards when footballers they chose perform well in real soccer games. The game also enables trading shares of the players.
The game mechanics combine fantasy football and tradable assets. Each footballer is represented as a coin. Users buy shares with Gold, an in-game currency pegged to 1 USDC. Tournament Points (TP) are earned when players perform in real-life matches.
How It Works?
To begin, users deposit USDC on the Base network to get an equivalent Gold amount. Gold is then used to buy player shares, which have a fixed supply. Players earn TP weekly based on position: goalkeepers get points for clean sheets and saves, defenders for tackles and interceptions, midfielders for goals and assists, and attackers for goals scored.
Only top performers receive TP, based on the shares held. Moreover, the Packs feature offers a lottery element to Players. “You don’t just pick players. You own shares of them. When they perform IRL, you earn rewards,” a Football.fun fan said on X.
Users can earn by getting new players early, trading undervalued shares, or collecting TP to unlock unreleased players. Users need at least $150–200 in Gold to compete, buy shares, and build a squad that generates TP.
