“Bets expire. Fan tokens don’t.”
A decentralized fan token launchpad bringing real-world value to blockchain technology
Learning from Polymarket
What They Got Right
Blockchain is a tool, not an industry in itself. Decentralized tokens should be used to trade real-world activities and entities — and traded in a manner that gives everyone an equal opportunity to succeed.
What They Got Wrong
Pure betting markets don't attract evidence-based, professional traders — where the real global liquidity and long-term value resides. Binary outcomes limit sophisticated trading strategies.
The Terraces Approach
Terraces gives traders the opportunity to speculate on almost every real-world activity, entity, and person — without insiders affecting their chances of success. Fair launches, transparent mechanics, and continuous markets that never expire.
The Speculation Trap
Prediction Markets
- —Binary outcomes: win or lose all
- —Time-limited positions
- —No value after resolution
- —50% chance of total loss
Fan Tokens
- +Continuous value spectrum
- +No expiration date
- +Backed by real entities
- +Value rarely reaches zero
Existing Solutions Fall Short
Memecoins
Platforms like Pump.fun demonstrated massive demand for accessible token creation. However, the tokens created are disconnected from reality — their value is purely speculative.
Centralized Fan Tokens
Platforms like Socios require official partnerships with teams, creating centralized gatekeeping. This limits token availability and concentrates power.
The market needs a platform combining Pump.fun mechanics, real-world connection, and community ownership.
The Fan Token Landscape
Centralized Platforms
Socios, Binance Fan Tokens
- —High trading fees (1-2%)
- —Centralized control & custody
- —No trust from serious traders
- —Platform can freeze assets
Decentralized Platforms
Pump.fun-style launchpads
- —Duplicate tokens everywhere
- —10+ "Manchester United" tokens
- —Liquidity fragmented
- —No curation or verification
Official Fan Tokens
PSG, Juventus, Barcelona
- —Insider allocations to teams
- —Teams dump tokens on fans
- —High fees fund corporations
- —Community confidence eroded
