YouBallin, a SocialFi protocol built on Solana, has launched its public YBL token sale, bringing instant claimability, real-time liquidity, and fan-powered ownership to the creator economy.
NEW YORK – Blockman PR – Nov 13, 2025 — YouBallin, the SocialFi protocol merging fandom and finance, today opened its public YBL token sale on Solana. The launch delivers instant claimability through Alchemy-powered smart contracts and immediate liquidity on Raydium: real-time utility rarely seen in creator-economy tokens.
The YBL token carries a total supply of 1 billion, with 38.2% circulating at TGE and 15% publicly unlocked. A 10% burn of platform revenue preserves scarcity, while dynamic pricing via Alchemy ensures transparent valuation.
Founder Muhannad Akrin, a global FMCG operator who conceived YouBallin, said the goal was to give creators the same ownership logic that consumer brands enjoy.
“Web 2.0 gave reach without rights. We’re bringing brand discipline and verifiable value to cultural production itself.”
In YouBallin’s two-phase competition model, Legends (established creators) scout emerging Talent in Phase 1. In Phase 2, Fans vote with YBL to decide outcomes and share in prize pools. Each creator mints an NFT “receipt of belonging,” turning attention into proof of participation.
Chris Arakelian, CEO and Co-Founder (who led rebrands for Uber and ConsenSys/MetaMask), said the platform replaces vanity metrics with measurable value.
“Every fan interaction is recorded, rewarded, and liquid. You don’t just ‘engage’; you own part of the moment.”
Lexie Kier, Chief Growth Officer and seasoned agency lead, added that YouBallin’s four-way value exchange is designed for inclusivity, not speculation.
“The future of creator monetization isn’t about viral spikes, it’s about alignment,” said Kier. “When creators and fans share equity, participation becomes the asset. This isn’t just a token launch, it’s a cultural exchange where participation is currency.”
On the technical side, Patrick Heinz, CTO and Co-Founder (ex-Filecoin, Syscoin), noted that Solana’s throughput enables thousands of sub-second transactions per event.
“Our contracts make token use instantaneous, no cliffs, no delays. Buy YBL and you can vote, or tip, seconds.”
Influencer @CryptoZeusYT called YouBallin “TikTok combined with Magic Eden as a web3-native baby with Solana gas fees,” praising its focus on instant, usable utility.
Following TGE, YouBallin plans, LayerZero cross-chain bridges, and AI-assisted prediction markets for cultural events.
