Just announced my company is moving to Base for this year’s fantasy football contest using USDC. Drops in June.
Want to plug into the Base community and connect. Who should I know? Tag the people deep in it.
One of the best teams in Web3. Smart move aver smart move. Excited to play a ton this season and can’t wait to see what they have in store for us in June!
We are excited to announce we will be moving to Base this season.
Since 2021 we've been on ETH mainnet and it's been good to us. Millions of dollars in prizes paid out, our main contest has doubled in sales every year since going live. ETH was home.
But we're done playing small. New era is here. We want to take our fantasy football best ball contest and our company to the next level, and the way we get there is on Base, using USDC.
Better user experience. Built to scale.
Here's why we're doing it:
1. Entry fees shouldn't be volatile. When ETH rips, the entry fee gets pricey and discourages people from drafting. We saw it last year with how entry basically doubled from $25 to $50 mid contest. We can't have that. The price needs to be the price.
2. Gas on ETH sucks. The spikes are real and users end up paying way more than the entry fee itself. That's a broken experience. Base is cheap af and we're going to eat those fees ourselves.
3. Prize pools shouldn't be volatile either. Yeah it's amazing when ETH rips and the prize pool grows. But when it tanks? Bad taste in everyone's mouth. This is a season-long contest where you're waiting months for it to settle. The less volatility, the better.
4. Web2 users finally get a real experience. $2 is $2. No hurdles. Social login creates a wallet (we're using Privy now, totally seamless), credit card and Apple Pay payments, and onchain transactions happening cleanly under the hood. Your buddy from your league chat can actually play.
Add this to all the new features and updates coming this year and we're going to explode. Our product is the best and most fun way to play fantasy football, the way it was meant to be.
You are the best community on the planet and we appreciate every single one of you who's been on this journey with us.
We are the only onchain fantasy drafting platform.
The only platform where you can buy and sell teams.
The only platform where your teams don't die with injuries, thanks to our team-position format.
The only platform where you can skip the finals with added gamification.
Banana Best Ball IV will be the best contest yet. Going live in June.
Been working all offseason on major improvements and new features for my product.
Moving Banana Best Ball IV to Base on USDC is the right move for where we’re going and for users overall.
Can’t wait for you to see what we’ve built.
Contest drops in June. You won’t want to miss drafting with us. Promise.
Fantasy football’s Best Ball summer is here.
I’ll be locked in working to get @SBSFantasy’s #BBB4 ready to launch this summer.
Stoked for the new features and updates — and hyped to still have Justin Herzig advising us. This year’s contest will be the best one yet.
We’re still the only platform where you can buy/sell teams, skip to the finals with gamification, and injuries don’t end your season.
Underdog and Drafters already launched theirs — respect. But this is SBS year.
New Orleans WR1 was one of the last WR1s off the board last year in @SBSFantasy and they won me a championship. NO WR1 gonna be sneaky good this year with Olave and Tyson. Dare I say top 10 WR1?
As big companies are moving away from draft games because it doesn’t make as much profit my company @SBSFantasy is tripling down on it for this coming year.
Adding major new features and improving our product with the help of AI. Can’t wait for people to try it.
Draft Games are still the most fun game in fantasy, this niche will grow. Everyone loves to draft, and best ball allows busy people not to have to manage their leagues while still drafting a lot.
What makes SBS different and better from standard best ball:
- buying selling teams throughout the season, you always have options,
- jackpot teams give added gamification where you can skip straight to the finals
- team position drafting instead of players where injuries don’t crush your chances.
Our contest has grown year after year, last year it 3xd what it did the year before. Since 2021 we’ve given millions in prizes out.
We’re going to be the home of fantasy sports.
Happy birthday to the my best friend and brother @RichVagner
Crazy that you’re 27 years old now.
Grateful af to have been on this journey with you in music and our onchain fantasy football company.
Love you Grammy winning legend.
Friday was my last day at Yuga Labs.
4 years. Employee #12. I wore every hat you can imagine - social lead, marketing, products, activations, management, you name it. Got to help build something truly special from the early days.
But the best part? The people. I gained a whole new family through this community. The connections and relationships I’ve made mean more than anything else.
Grateful for every bit of it.
Now? I’ve never been more fired up. Going all in on building @SBSFantasy into the biggest onchain fantasy football platform in the world.
Next chapter starts now.
