General Project Info
- Project Name: Spoiled Banana Society
- Project Sector/Type (select one): Other
- If “Other,” please specify: Onchain Fantasy Football
- Project Summary: Spoiled Banana Society is an onchain (fantasy football) brand providing experiences and various leagues using blockchain technology. Our main tournament is a Best Ball Draft league where users get to draft onchain on our website or mobile app, once the draft is complete their team becomes an NFT. Users can then buy or sell these teams at any point in the season while competing for season long and weekly crypto prizes.
- About the Team (+location): We are early members of the Bored Ape Yacht Club. I am a social media and community mananger for Yuga Labs. I live in Colorado. My brother is a grammy award winning musician who has lots of experience doing day to day business operations and lives in Los Angeles. Our other founder oversees development and has a law degree, he works in the financial industry in New York. We have an advisor who works with Draftkings and Underdog fantasy, who was previously the blockchain lead for Capital One.

- Market Research (target users, competitors, market potential, pain points): Onchain users & Fantasy Football users. Competitors include Draft Kings Fantasy, Underdog Fantasy, Sleeper, Yahoo Fantasy & More. Fantasy Football had a 30 billion dollar market size in 2023 and is growing every year. A huge pain point is gas prices we have done all our previous leagues using the Eth mainnet which has resulted in us pricing our products higher. Cheaper gas prices would be better for our users and overall business.
Detailed Project Info
- Goals/Objectives + Relevance to Seamless Protocol/Community: Our goal is for users to have a seamless experience on our platform. Current gas prices on the eth mainnet would increase prices for our users while not contributing anything to the prize pools. Base would solve this problem by ensuring gas prices would be minimal.
- Roadmap: Launch other sports, different types of leagues, avatar project, easy integration for web2 users by having wallet creation with email sign up and cc payments.
- Relevant Milestones/Metrics (Now and Future): Our first 3 years we have done over 3 million in sales.
- Funding Request + Budget Breakdown: 100K
80% for development.
20% for marketing.
Other Info

- Anything else we should know (e.g. existing partnerships, early adopters/community)? We created the first ever on chain drafting product in the world. No one has done something like this since its inception. We have had lots of early community adoption from Bored Ape Yacht Club, Gutter Cats, & much more. The Fantasy Footballers played our game and we had many talks with NBCs Mathew Berry.
