Overview
DRAFT.FUN is fantasy football where the players are meme coins. You join a league, your league holds a live snake draft every week, and the six coins you draft score DRAFT.FUN points (DFP) from Sunday kickoff to the next Sunday's kickoff. Highest score in the league wins the week.
It's free to play. The global prize pot is paid for by $DRAFT creator fees, not by players. Leagues can also opt in to a funded pot, where members put in a weekly buy-in and the league's top teams split it.
Quick start
- Connect a Solana wallet (Phantom, Solflare or Backpack). Signing in is a signature, not a transaction: no funds move.
- Join a league. Pick a public league on the Leagues page, open a friend's invite link (or enter their code), or start your own and share the link.
- Draft before Sunday. The league owner schedules the draft. Show up in the draft room when it starts; if you miss a pick, the best coin that fits your roster is picked for you.
- Watch it score. From Sunday 1:00 PM ET kickoff your team earns DFP every 15 minutes. Follow it on My teams and the Leaderboard.
Leagues
- Up to 12 teams per league. You can be in as many leagues as you like, with a separate team in each.
- Public leagues are listed for anyone to join. Private leagues are listed too, but you need their six-character invite code (or invite link) to join.
- Funded leagues have a weekly buy-in pot, held in an escrow wallet and paid out automatically. They're private (invite code only) by default; the owner can make one public so anyone can join and buy in. Plain public and private leagues are always free. See Funded leagues.
- The Leagues page has four tabs: Your leagues, Public, Private and Funded.
- A league's Week 1 is the first week it drafts for. Standings show each week and a season total.
- The owner schedules drafts, can set the league's picture and can remove members.
The draft
Every week, before Sunday's kickoff, your league holds a live snake draft. When it starts, the order is shuffled.
- Roster: 1 Blue chip, 2 Mid caps, 1 Degen, 1 Flex (Mid or Degen), then a Pump.fun pick in the last round. Six coins.
- Snake order: 1→12 in round one, 12→1 in round two, and so on.
- One team per coin: once a coin is drafted in your league, it's gone.
- Clock: every pick has a timer. Miss it and the biggest coin left that fits an open slot is picked for you.
- Captain: your first-round pick scores 1.5×.
- Every pick fills a slot: you can only draft a coin whose tier has an open spot on your roster. There are always at least 12 blue chips and 24 each of mid caps and degens, so all 12 teams can always fill every slot.
Tiers
The draft pool is CoinGecko's meme-coin category: coins with a $15M+ market cap and $500K+ traded in 24 hours, up to 72 coins, sorted by market cap.
BLUEBlue chipTop sixth of the pool (at least 12). The biggest, steadiest memes.
MIDMid capThe next third (at least 24). Room to run.
DEGENDegenEverything smaller. Biggest swings.
PUMPPump.funCoins launched on pump.fun with a $2M+ cap and $250K+ a day, not already in the main pool.
Scoring (DFP)
Every coin on your team scores from its price at Sunday 1:00 PM ET kickoff to the next Sunday's kickoff:
| Move up | +1 per 1% the price rises (max +500) |
| Move down | −0.5 per 1% it falls (max −50) |
| Fees | +1 per 10% of its kickoff market cap traded during the week (max 300) |
| Green day | +2 for each day it closes higher than the day before |
| Moonshot | +10 at +25% · +25 at +50% · +50 at +100% |
| Rug | −25 if it ends the week down 50% or more |
| Captain | Your first-round pick scores 1.5× |
Open the points calculator
Live points: scores come from the database's 15-minute snapshots, and between snapshots the site moves each coin's price points with its live price, so your team, league and the leaderboard tick every minute. Once your draft is done you see preview points from the end of the draft; they don't count, and every score resets to 0 at kickoff.
Why fees? Every trade of a coin pays fees. Trading volume against market cap measures how much action a coin is getting, so a busy coin scores even in a flat week.
Example: your captain goes +12%, trades 40% of its market cap and has 4 green days: (12 + 4 + 8) × 1.5 = 36 DFP. A coin that dumps 60% with 20% traded: −30 + 2 − 25 = −53 DFP.
The week
The global season's Week 1 kicks off Sunday 27 September 2026, 1:00 PM ET, the same time as the NFL's early games.
Prize pot
The global prize pot is funded by $DRAFT creator fees. Every trade of $DRAFT sends a fee to the public prize wallet, so the more $DRAFT trades, the bigger the pot.
Each player's best team from their public and private leagues (including public funded leagues) goes on the global Leaderboard. Private funded leagues play only for their own pot and aren't ranked. The top three split the week's pot 50% / 30% / 20%, paid in SOL to the wallet they signed in with. The prize wallet is public:
You never need to hold or buy $DRAFT to play or win.
Funded leagues
A funded league is a league where members put money on their own team against the rest of the league. Plain public and private leagues are always free: they play for the $DRAFT prize pot.
- Private by default: players need the league's invite code to join. Private funded leagues play only for their own pot: they're not on the global leaderboard or in the $DRAFT prize pool.
- Public if the owner chooses: it's listed on the Funded tab of the Leagues page, anyone can join and buy in, and its teams are on the global leaderboard.
- Setup: the owner ticks "Funded" when creating the league and picks the currency (SOL or USDC), the weekly buy-in and the payout split (winner takes all, 70/30, 50/30/20 or 60/25/15).
- The pot is an escrow wallet: DRAFT.FUN makes a new Solana wallet for the league each week. Its key never leaves DRAFT.FUN's server, so nobody in the league, the owner included, can move the money.
- Buying in: on the league's Pot tab, tap Pay. Your wallet sends the buy-in to that week's pot wallet. Everyone buys in the same way, the owner too. You can also pay from your wallet app and paste the transaction signature.
- Checked on Solana: the DRAFT.FUN database reads every transaction from Solana itself and only counts it if it came from your sign-in wallet, went to that week's pot wallet, was the full buy-in and landed before kickoff.
- Who can win: only teams that paid for that week share its pot. Ties split their places evenly. If fewer teams paid than there are paid places, the split is scaled to the teams that did.
- Payouts are automatic: about an hour after the week ends, DRAFT.FUN pays every winner from the pot wallet to the wallet they signed in with. Each payout is checked on Solana too and shows on the Pot tab. If there was no draft that week, everyone who paid ties and gets their buy-in back.
- Settings lock once anyone has bought in for a week that hasn't finished.
Real money. DRAFT.FUN holds each week's buy-ins in escrow until it pays the winners, and takes no cut. Payments on Solana can't be reversed, so check the league before you buy in. Real-money contests are restricted in many places (including some US states), so it's up to every player to make sure it's legal where they live. You must be 18 or older.
Profile & pictures
- Tap your name in the top bar to set your team name and profile picture. Upload your own image or pick a coin logo.
- League owners can upload a league picture from the league page, or when creating the league.
- Uploads are cropped square and resized to 256×256. PNG, JPG, WebP or GIF, up to 8 MB before resizing.
Fair play & data
- Pump.fun coins' volume is their on-chain DEX volume from DexScreener, since CoinGecko's figure also counts centralized-exchange trading and can run far higher for small coins.
- Prices, market caps and volume come from CoinGecko. Every 15 minutes the game's database records each drafted coin, and all scores come from those records, never from anyone's browser.
- The database enforces the rules: only the team on the clock can pick, a coin can be drafted once per league, tier slots are checked, rosters stay hidden until kickoff and private leagues are members-only.
- Chat is limited to one message every 3 seconds, 500 characters max.

FAQ
Does it cost anything to play?
No. Signing in, joining leagues, drafting and the global prize pot are all free. Only funded leagues involve money, and only if you choose to buy in.
Does signing in move any funds?
No. Sign-in is a message signature that proves you own the wallet. Money only moves when you tap Pay in a funded league and approve it in your wallet.
What if I miss my draft?
You still get a team: every pick you miss is made for you from the biggest coins left that fit your roster.
Why did my coin score points on a red day?
Fees. A coin that trades a lot earns fee points even when its price falls, and losses only count half.
When are scores final?
At the next Sunday's 1:00 PM ET kickoff, when the week closes. Until then they update every 15 minutes.
How do I get paid?
Global prizes are sent in SOL to the wallet you signed in with. In a funded league, the winners are paid automatically from that week's escrow pot wallet, about an hour after the week ends, and each payout shows on the league's Pot tab.
Where's the $DRAFT contract address?
Coming soon. It will be posted on @Draft_fun and shown at the top of this site.
