Sport.Fun, a blockchain-based platform revolutionizing sports engagement through fantasy competitions, prediction markets, and on-chain trading, has officially announced its $FUN token initial coin offering (ICO) on the Legion launchpad, in partnership with Kraken.
This marks a significant expansion for the project, which originated as Football.Fun and has rapidly grown to include basketball and American football, aiming to create a unified “financialized fandom” ecosystem.
Legion and Kraken, $FUN will power the Sport.Fun ecosystem, enabling buybacks, player rewards, airdrops, and staking for enhanced user engagement across multiple sports. Supported by 6th Man Ventures, The Operating Group, and Zee Prime Capital.

Combines skill-based fantasy sports with real-time speculation and true crypto ownership, built on Base for potential $BASE airdrop farming. Token sale excludes U.K. persons; geographic restrictions apply. Participation requires signing up on Legion and completing profile verification to build a merit-based score for allocations.
This ICO builds on Sport.Fun’s momentum, following a $90M trading volume milestone on Base. Early adopters are already farming $FUN exposure through platform activity, with new asset packs and presales rolling out.
Legion is a merit-based, on-chain fundraising platform designed to revive ICOs with enhanced compliance, transparency, and anti-scam measures.
Launched in 2025 after raising $5M in seed funding led by VanEck and Brevan Howard Digital, with participation from Kraken Ventures, Coinbase Ventures, and Crypto.com Ventures, it uses reputation scoring based on on-chain/off-chain activity to allocate tokens fairly, avoiding VC dominance and “rug pulls” from the 2017-2018 ICO era.
Legion complies with frameworks like EU’s MiCA and U.S. Regulations, positioning it as a “CoinList killer” for responsible public token sales. Positive buzz on X highlights the project’s quick pivot from soccer-focused Football.Fun to a multi-sport powerhouse, with users excited about $FUN’s utility and Base ecosystem ties.
Analysts see potential for long-term growth in play-to-earn sports networks, with $FUN uniting platforms for better liquidity and rewards.
The Legion Score also referred to as the merit score is a proprietary reputation metric on the Legion platform, ranging from 0 to 1,000. It acts as a “digital resume” evaluating your value as an investor or contributor in the crypto ecosystem, based on non-financial factors like engagement, expertise, and accountability.
Unlike traditional ICO access, which often favors wealth or connections, the Legion Score prioritizes merit to reduce bots, Sybil attacks, and short-term flippers. It’s calculated as an average of five sub-scores— Clout, Dev, Chain, Interaction, and Endorsement, using principles from the EigenTrust algorithm for abuse resistance.
The exact formula is private to prevent gaming, but scores evolve dynamically based on your ongoing behavior—positive actions boost it, while non-performance can lower it. Higher scores unlock better allocations in ICOs and token sales, up to 20% of supply reserved for top scorers in some rounds, customized perks like discounts, and priority access.
It’s especially relevant for upcoming sales like Sport.Fun’s $FUN ICO on December 16, 2025, where merit determines eligibility. Verify your email and connect a compatible wallet like EVM or SVM chains like Ethereum, Solana, Base, or Arbitrum. This starts your profile and enables KYC for uniqueness.
Fill out your profile: Include qualitative details like your role (e.g., builder, trader), expertise (e.g., tokenomics, marketing), investment strategy, and achievements (e.g., blogs, past contributions). Be truthful and detailed—this directly influences sub-scores and helps projects assess fit.
Link X, Farcaster, or other handles to demonstrate influence. Focus on organic engagement—post quality content about crypto projects, share insights, and build mindshare. Avoid spam; the system filters bots. Share your Legion scorecard publicly on X or Farcaster to gain visibility and potential endorsements.
Connect your GitHub profile to showcase open-source contributions, commits, and stars. If you’re a developer, contribute to relevant repos to raise this—it’s weighted heavily for tech-focused ICOs. These connections generate your initial score automatically. Reconnect periodically if activity updates.
Perform transactions across supported chains like staking, trading, or interacting with dApps without relying on volume—it’s wealth-agnostic and detects bot patterns. Interact with projects by applying to sales, providing feedback, or participating in community tasks. Consistent, positive involvement raises your Interaction Score.
Farm exposure in Base ecosystem activities if targeting projects like Sport.Fun, as on-chain history ties into broader merit. Seek recommendations from project founders, core teams, or community managers for past contributions via cover letters in applications.
