13 August 2025 — YouBallin is the first Web3 talent platform where communities, not algorithms, decide who gets discovered, and all powered by the $YBL token. YouBallin YouBallin Built on Solana and designed with Web2-level usability, it lets creators grow on their own terms, earning directly from their audiences instead of relying on hidden industry gatekeepers. Rethinking the Creator Economy Traditional talent platforms limit visibility, control earnings, and leave audiences with little influence. Creators often lack full ownership of their content, while supporters are reduced to passive consumers. YouBallin replaces this outdated structure with a people-powered framework built around four central players: Creators (Talent): Monetize directly through $YBL tips, NFT sales, competitions, and tokenized memberships, keeping full ownership of their work.

Fans: Gain voting power, unlock exclusive content, and co-own digital moments that matter, shifting from passive spectators to active stakeholders.

By aligning these groups in a single ecosystem, YouBallin ensures discovery, growth and value creation are determined by real people, not opaque algorithms or backroom deals. How YouBallin Works Powered by the $YBL token, YouBallin turns every interaction into part of the creative economy. Its core mechanics are: Tipping: Direct, on-chain support sent straight to creators. NFT Sales: Limited-edition content and co-owned digital moments with lasting value. Governance: DAO-based voting that gives the community a real say in platform decisions. Gamification: XP, quests and tokenized fan clubs that reward participation and deepen engagement.

Governance: DAO-based voting that gives the community a real say in platform decisions. Gamification: XP, quests and tokenized fan clubs that reward participation and deepen engagement. Members can earn XP, join quests, and level up their presence, while tokenized clubs invite them into the creator’s journey, turning moments into milestones they can claim a piece of. Behind the scenes, AI surfaces rising talent and connects them with the audiences most likely to care — no tricks, just talent meeting its moment. From Talent Contests to Global Stages Beginning with in-app competitions, YouBallin is building toward live global events where fan-supported creators perform on physical stages. The roadmap also introduces cross-chain NFT support, community governance and AI-powered tools for talent matching and content creation, enabling both scalable growth and user-led expansion. Positioned at the intersection of the $250 billion creator economy, the $60 billion NFT market, the $50 billion live events industry and the $800 billion digital advertising market, YouBallin combines native monetization, true ownership and scalability. Its economic model is designed for sustainability. Revenue comes from platform activity, token velocity from frequent transactions and branded experiences such as sponsored quests, creator campaigns and fan-led competitions. The $YBL token underpins these features, with a 1 billion token supply and a 5% transaction fee that is partially burned. The platform aims to reach 100,000 daily active users by the end of Q4 2026. Led by Industry Veterans YouBallin’s founding team brings together deep expertise in Web3, media and entertainment, and FMCG with experience from companies such as Omnicom, Filecoin, Chainlink and KPMG. Their backgrounds include expertise in blockchain and smart contract development, brand transformation and marketing, as well as regulatory compliance. This legal-first, user-friendly foundation is designed to support growth across jurisdictions, bridging the accessibility of Web2 with the ownership and autonomy of Web3.
