Announcing Legion 🪽

Legion emerges from stealth with a promise: we will democratize access to early-stage investments.

Here’s how ICOs were dethroned and how we’ll even the playing field for all investors 🧵👇

👉 1/ In 2014, a visionary young programmer named @vitalik.eth announced an ambitious ICO: Ethereum.

Anyone, anywhere in the world, could participate, he said, by sending in a small amount of #bitcoin.

👉 2/ Orange coin flowed, Ethereum went live, and this ICO possibly became the fairest, most open, and most successful community-based fundraising model in history.

In a word, ICOs freed early-stage capital markets from the Silicon Valley Citadel.

👉 3/ Suddenly, baristas, Uber drivers, and mechanics found themselves on equal footing with turtle-neck-wearing VCs.

This revolution in early-stage funding had an unforeseen side effect, too…

✨Merit-based ICOs✨

👉 8/ The net result takes us back to square one: the best deals happen behind closed doors.

Retail’s no longer an army of believers; they’re exit liquidity sent like cows to slaughter.

👉 9/ Legion exists for a singular purpose: to resurrect the armies of believers, memelords and evangelists.

We’ll do it by connecting the right investors with the right opportunities.

👉 10/ All access to Legion ICOs will be based not on the size of your wallet… but on the depth of your merit, skill and passion.

The greater your contributions, the higher your Legion score will rise… The higher your score, the more opportunities you’ll have to invest.

👉 11/ Whether you’re a top-tier angel, a dedicated Dune analytics connoisseur, or an on-chain researcher, Legion is where people who want to contribute to a project can also invest in the community.

👉  12/ Our mission is to give everyone the chance to make it.

And that includes the ones with the most skin in the game: founders.

👉 13/ No longer will founders be stuck with passive whales as investors… instead, they’ll get an engaged value-add community of power users.

An army of product evangelists.

Your very own legion.

👉 14/ In the coming weeks, we’ll share how Legion launches will democratize access to the earliest-stage project in crypto.

👉 4/ Since anyone could participate, projects attracted more than money… they attracted true believers.

Armies of legendary communities – the LINKMARINES, THORCHADS and SPARTANS – weren’t just invested in the projects they’d backed, they lived and breathed them.

👉 5/ With the light, came shadows.

Like fat rats, grifters emerged from the sewers promising blockchain solutions that would revolutionize the web and take down Google, Amazon and Airbnb in one fell swoop.

👉 6/ Lies piled on top of lies. “Founders” absconded with cash. Lawsuits and regulations ensued, and almost overnight, the Golden Age of ICOs was laid to rest.

Today, public crypto sales are a hollowed out shell of their former selves.

👉 7/ By the time early users and community members have access to invest, there’s little to no upside left.

The sales that do occur take place in a legal gray area. That attracts lower-quality projects desperate for capital.

Enough.. no more!

Too long have we stood by and let value extractors take the spoils. While communities withered on the vine and founders were left out to dry.

- Access to all, based on merit.
- Make early value-add investors rich
- Compliant, founders no longer have to look over their shoulders the rest of their days after doing a public sale. 
- Give founders the ability to raise from an army of the highest value-add investors. Creating a strong value add, missionary and organic community...
