How The YieldBasis Sale Will Work

YieldBasis will debut as the first-ever Legion x Kraken sale, but it will come in two phases: merit-based presale (Legion only), and then first-come-first-served (both Kraken & Legion).

This collaboration sets a new gold standard for fundraising: global reach, merit-based access and instant tier-1 CEX liquidity upon TGE.

Phase 1: Merit-based presale

Up to 20% of the total allocation will be reserved as presale access for users with an active Legion Score on legion.cc

The YieldBasis team will select participants through a merit-based process that values contributions, expertise and alignment with the project.

Phase 2: First-come, First-served (FCFS) Sale

After the presale allocation runs out or when the timer ends (whichever comes first), the remaining allocation will move to the first-come, first-served (FCFS) sale through both Legion and Kraken Launch. When this pool sells out, the sale closes. The token will be available for trading on Kraken shortly after the sale concludes (details TBA).

How to participate in Merit-based presale

September 29, 10am EST / 2pm UTC: Merit-based presale access opens


Presale access will open 48 hours before the first-come, first-served (FCFS) sale begins.

  1. This phase will be similar to previous raises on Legion. After creating an account on Legion and generating your Legion Score, you will be able to participate in deals.

  2. The YieldBasis sale will be based on a pre-deposit system.

This means that you would need to deposit your USDC beforehand on Ethereum mainnet.

  1. Submit your application for review by the project team. There will be three possible outcomes for your application.

  • You receive full allocation. Congratulations!

  • You receive partial allocation. Any unspent USDC will be refunded right after the sale.

  • You receive no allocation. All your funds will be refunded right after the sale.

Presale access will close when the allocation is exhausted or 1 day before the FCFS sale begins, whichever comes first.

How to participate in First-come, First-served (FCFS) Sale

October 1, 10am EST / 2pm UTC: FCFS sale opens on Kraken and Legion.

  1. Once presale access has closed, the remaining allocation will be open for everyone. This pool is FCFS, meaning speed matters. Be ready to act fast in order to maximize your chances of securing an allocation.

  2. You will be able to participate via either Legion and Kraken Launch with a valid account. The allocation pool will be the same irrespective of which platform you decide to use.

  3. Similar to the presale, you must pre-deposit your USDC in order to submit your application.

  4. There will be two outcomes from your application:

  • If your transaction is successful, this indicates that you have received your requested allocation and will be able to claim your tokens at TGE.

  • If allocation has already been exhausted at the time of submission, your transaction will not be successful.

See you on September 29th (presale), and then October 1st (FCFS).
