YouBallin will launch the $YBL public sale on November 13, supporting instant claim via smart contract.

The innovative SocialFi protocol YouBallin, built on the Solana network, has announced that its native token $YBL will officially launch at 12:00 AM (GMT+8) on November 13 (Thursday).

This event will fully support the Quick Claim feature, allowing participants to instantly claim tokens via a smart contract that has passed a security audit, immediately after purchase. YouBallin thus becomes the first SocialFi creator platform to implement an instant interactive distribution mechanism.

Creator Economy × Blockchain Transparency: From Participation to Co-Creation

YouBallin is centered on the concept of "turning social participation into on-chain assets," and is committed to deeply integrating the creator economy with blockchain transparency. Through an event-driven mechanism, the platform systematically links the interests of fans, creators, and brands, ensuring that every interaction, vote, and show of support can be verified and quantified on-chain.

On traditional Web2 platforms, creators' earnings are limited by centralized algorithms and advertising models, and fans' support rarely translates into direct economic value. YouBallin disrupts this model with a decentralized incentive structure:

• Creators (Talent) can directly receive fan votes, tips, and NFT revenue sharing;

• Fans have every vote recorded on-chain, serving as a verifiable "cultural co-creation" credential;

• Brands can launch campaigns and sponsorships under the DAO framework, achieving greater transparency and efficiency.

"Centralized algorithms obscure true creativity. $YBL makes value flows transparent—creators can see their sources of income, fans can see their influence, and brands can see their participation results." — Patrick Heinz, YouBallin Co-founder and CTO (former core engineer at Filecoin and Syscoin)

$YBL: The Core Token Driving On-Chain Social Participation, Dual-Phase Competition Model

$YBL is the core token of the YouBallin platform, used to power the platform's dual-phase competition mechanism:

1. Discovery Phase (Phase 1): Experienced creators or star mentors (Legends) select and discover emerging talents (Talent), forming a mentor-apprentice relationship and laying the foundation for subsequent competitions.

2. Voting Phase (Phase 2): Fans use $YBL to vote for and tip their favorite Talent. The smart contract allocates prize pool earnings in real time based on voting results, ensuring transparent and fair on-chain revenue sharing.

Core concept: By using the $YBL token to closely connect creators, fans, and brands, the platform builds a decentralized, highly interactive creator ecosystem where every interaction can be quantified and value can be shared.

Auto-burn mechanism: 5% of every transaction will be automatically burned to maintain long-term scarcity.

$YBL Feature Reveal: A New Chapter in Instant On-Chain Distribution

$YBL token parameters and related details:

• Total supply: 1,000,000,000 tokens

• Public sale allocation: 15% (about 150 millions tokens)

• Phase 1 sale price: $0.0075 per token

• Phase 1 sale start time: 2025/11/13, 12:00 AM (GMT+8)

• Payment methods: SOL / USDC / USDT

• Unlock mechanism: After 5 rounds of sales, TGE will take place three days later. Once TGE is completed, tokens can be claimed. Please note that tokens will not be distributed automatically; users must visit youballin.com to manually claim their tokens, with no waiting period for vesting.

• Total number of sale rounds: 5

All participants can connect their wallets (Phantom, OKX, Backpack, etc.) via a dedicated page to claim tokens directly. The mechanism of no vesting period not only greatly enhances transparency and efficiency but also marks YouBallin as one of the first SocialFi platforms to achieve "instant on-chain claiming."

To incentivize early participants, YouBallin is also launching a limited-time reward campaign:

Purchases between \(50–\)5,000 will receive an extra 3% reward; purchases over $5,000 will receive a 5% bonus in tokens. Unlike traditional projects with lengthy vesting periods, YouBallin's instant claim mechanism allows users to immediately participate in staking, voting, tipping, and DAO governance after purchase, becoming the first contributors to the platform ecosystem.

This new mechanism marks the official launch of the first liquidity phase of the YouBallin ecosystem. Compared to the common vesting mechanisms in traditional SocialFi projects, YouBallin enables users to participate in staking, voting, tipping, and DAO governance immediately after purchase through instant claiming and interaction.

Ecosystem Structure and Incentive Design

The YouBallin ecosystem consists of three main roles: Talent, Fans, and Brands, with automated interaction enabled by smart contracts:

• Talent (Creators / Contestants)

  • Can claim 80% of the NFT share from the 40% voting pool;

  • Receive fan tips and on-chain revenue distribution.

• Fans

  • Use $YBL to vote, deciding the allocation of 30% of the prize pool;

  • Earn points, which can be exchanged for airdrops or DAO governance rights;

  • Each vote generates an NFT voting receipt as proof of on-chain participation.

• Brands

  • Can use $YBL for event sponsorship and promotion;

  • Participate in event proposals and data analysis through the DAO system;

  • Access a transparent on-chain advertising model based on user behavior.

All interactions are completed via Solana smart contracts, ensuring open and transparent fund flows, automatic revenue distribution, and no manual intervention.
