Ready to take your fandom to the next level?
Binance Fan tokens are utility tokens associated with a club, team, or brand that gives token holders special fan privileges. For example, a football club could have a Binance Fan Token that gives holders priority purchasing tickets. Binance Fan token holders could also get voting privileges on club decisions like choosing a new kit, slogan, or jersey design.
The token is usually associated with a sports club, celebrity, or other entity with a large following. Juventus, AS Roma, and FC Barcelona are just some of the clubs with their own tokens that now circulate on crypto exchanges. Unlike Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH), whose value is derived from the underlying project, a Binance Fan Token has value based on the unique benefits it brings to fans.
One example is the S.S. Lazio Fan Token (LAZIO). LAZIO provides S.S. Lazio football fans a chance to influence decisions reserved for token holders through the
Binance Fan Token Platform. LAZIO Fan Token holders can vote on various “fan decision” polls published by the football team. In the future, users will also be able to utilize LAZIO to collect Non-Fungible Token (NFT) rewards and explore additional gamification features.
Binance Fan tokens are, in fact, different from Non Fungible Tokens. NFTs are one-off, unique collectibles that cannot be duplicated. While a team with their own Binance Fan Token may also mint NFTs, a Binance Fan Token is actually a fungible utility token. This means that it is interchangeable with any other Binance Fan Token of the same kind. Think of it like a $1 note that is exchangeable with any other $1 note without a difference. Depending on the Binance Fan Token, some holders can use their tokens to collect club-related NFTs.
Once you hold Binance Fan Tokens, you can begin to claim fan rewards and exercise your exclusive fan rights. The exact benefits you’ll receive will depend on the token you have and what the club or brand offers. Most Binance Fan Tokens will at least give access to:
1. Mystery Boxes and NFTs – You can use your Binance Fan Tokens to purchase NFT Mystery Boxes containing NFTs of different rarities.
2. Voting rights – If the club or team associated with a Binance Fan Token holds a fan vote, token holders will be able to participate through the governance mechanism. These votes could involve choosing the merchandise a team offers or charity events and matches they hold.
3. Fan badges – Any engagement a Binance Fan Token has with their team will improve their chances to win a Fan Badge. If you collect enough Fan Badges, you could also win exclusive experiences with the club or brand.
To buy Binance Fan Tokens, you’ll first need to create a Binance account and complete the KYC verification process. If you already have an account, simply log in.

Want to add Binance Fan Tokens to your portfolio?

After finding a Binance Fan Token you want to purchase, you’ll need to commit
BNB as part of the Launchpad Subscription Format. When the sale is over, you’ll receive your allocation of tokens based on your proportion of the total BNB committed by all participants. There is, however, a maximum cap of tokens per person to ensure fairness. For more specific instructions, please refer to our beginner guide here:
