Fanton: fantasy football in Telegram

Love football and arguing about line-ups? Fanton turns those arguments into a game. You build a team of real footballers, and your points depend on how they play in actual matches ⚽

Everything runs inside Telegram as a Mini App, so there is nothing to download. Open the bot and press Start.

How fantasy football works

The principle is familiar to fans of the genre. Before each round you pick five players to form your squad. Then they play real matches, and your team earns points for their actions.

The better your footballers perform, the higher you climb in the tournament table. You have to guess not only the stars but also the player who suddenly breaks out.

Free cards and NFT cards

Players are represented by cards. You can build a team from free cards, or use NFT cards that you own as a digital asset.

NFT cards can be reused in later tournaments. Some players sell them for TON on the open market, but the price follows demand, not the project's promises 🃏

Tournaments and rewards

The game has tournaments built on matches from leading European leagues. A win or a strong result brings rewards: TON tokens or NFT cards.

The project also has its own token, FTON. According to public descriptions, token holders can create tournaments with friends, and the token is used to buy NFTs in the game.

What is known about the project

The game launched in 2023 and is tied to the TON blockchain ecosystem. The project raised a one million dollar seed round, which major crypto outlets reported. It is led by Eldar, whose idea grew while he worked on a large loyalty program in Eastern Europe.

Treat audience numbers from promotional material with caution: they are marketing, not an independent audit 📊

Where the risk lies

Play-to-earn sounds attractive, but income is never guaranteed. Rewards depend on match results, competition and token prices.

• Tokens and NFTs can lose value. Digital asset markets are volatile.
• Spending does not automatically pay off. Football is unpredictable even for experts.
• Connect your wallet carefully. Use a separate one with a small balance.
• It plays on chance. If you notice you are spending more than planned, stop.

Where a newcomer should start

1. Open the bot and go through the intro hints.
2. Build a team from free cards and play a few rounds.
3. Follow club news: injuries and rotation change final points a lot.
4. Decide about purchases later, once you understand how points are counted.

For a fan it is a handy way to test yourself as a manager. Let money be a pleasant extra rather than the goal, and the game will be more fun 🏆
