Sponsio is the first financial market built around belief instead of outcomes.
A prediction market sells you a contract on a result, settles it, and disappears. Sponsio is different: you buy and trade team coins — one for every nation at the World Cup — that live for the entire tournament and move with it.
$ARG · $BRA · $ENG · $FRA
As the tournament unfolds, the market moves with the story. Some teams exceed expectations. Some collapse. Some become favourites; others go home. Every price reflects what the world believes about a team's chances, in real time.
All of that activity feeds one pool.
Fees from coin launches and trading accumulate into a single Reward Pool across the whole tournament. Nothing is paid out after a match. Nothing after the group stage. Nothing after the quarter-finals. Everything builds toward one outcome — the champion.
Snapshots — taken only on match days
A team's coin launches at its first kickoff. From then on, on each day that team plays, Sponsio takes one balance snapshot at a random moment between kickoff and the end of that day (UTC).
No snapshots on rest days. None before a team has played. Only match days count — the days a team is live and its market is loud.
The moment is never announced, and it's random, so you can't snipe it. If you want a match day to count for you, hold the coin through that day.
This is a market for traders, not hoarders. You don't sit on one coin for a month. The play is to hold a team's coin on the days it plays — then rotate into whoever plays next. Show up on the active days; move your capital on when they rest.
The Champion Score
When the final is decided, the champion's coin becomes the Champion Coin. Sponsio looks only at that coin's match-day snapshots — every one, from the team's first match to the final.
Champion Score = your average Champion Coin balance across all of its match-day snapshots
Your share = Reward Pool × ( your Champion Score ÷ the sum of every wallet's Champion Score )
A worked example
Say Argentina wins. To lift the trophy it played 8 matches, so there are 8 Argentina snapshots — one per match day, each at a random moment. Suppose the Reward Pool is $1,000,000.
| Wallet | What it did | $ARG at snapshots | Score | Share |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | Held $ARG through every Argentina match day | 5,000 × 8 | 5,000 | $615,385 |
| B | Caught 4 match days, mistimed the other 4 | 5,000 ×4, 0 ×4 | 2,500 | $307,692 |
| C | Bought only for the final | 0 ×7, 5,000 ×1 | 625 | $76,923 |
Sum of all scores = 5,000 + 2,500 + 625 = 8,125. Wallet A's share = 1,000,000 × (5,000 ÷ 8,125) = $615,385. The same maths gives B and C theirs, and the three shares add back to the full $1,000,000.
All three held the same peak amount — 5,000 $ARG. What separated them was how many of the champion's match days they showed up for. A was there for all eight and took the largest split; C appeared once and was averaged against the seven it missed.
You don't win the pool. You take a slice of it — sized by how consistently you backed the champion on the days that mattered.
Who qualifies
Every wallet with a non-zero Champion Score shares the pool, except:
- —Smart-contract balances — liquidity pools, LP positions, launch-platform and custody contracts hold coins mechanically, not out of belief, and are excluded under the published methodology.
- —Addresses caught manipulating — wash trading, snapshot gaming, and exploits forfeit eligibility.
Claims may be subject to eligibility checks, regional restrictions, and a deadline, as set out in the Terms. Snapshot data and the full methodology are published, so every split is verifiable on-chain.
The honest part
The Reward Pool is a discretionary promotional program, not an investment return. Its size depends entirely on real trading activity — it may be large, small, or zero. Team coins are meme coins: they entitle you to nothing beyond the coin itself, and their price can fall to zero. The pool is a thank-you to the believers who were right — never a reason to spend more than you can afford to lose.
One tournament. One pool. One champion. One split — among everyone who believed.
