Purchasing on FANtium
How to purchase a token on the FANtium platform
Please follow the step-by-step guide below to purchase an athlete token in the FANtium application:
- After logging in, navigate to the "Explore" page where you can view all the athletes that are selling tokens through FANtium.
- Select the athlete you want to purchase a token from by clicking "View athlete". Once you have selected the athlete, you will be redirected to the athlete's page.
- On the athlete's page you can choose between the different tiers of tokens (Bronze, Silver, Gold) that the athlete offers for sale. For each token there are FAN perks that you can view on the token page. Next, click on "Buy Token" to initiate the payment process.
Note: If the tokens are already sold out, you can purchase them via secondary markets. See this section on how to purchase via a secondary market.
- Once you click on "Buy Token", a pop-up window will appear (only the first time) asking you to enter personal information (name, date of birth, gender, etc.). This is a mandatory step and part of the Anti-Money Laundering (AML) verification that we conduct for you in the background. You will not be able to purchase a token if you have not filled in your responses and submitted them to us. If you have previously entered your personal data in your settings, this step is not necessary.
Note: If an error message appears after you click "Complete Setup and Proceed", it means that your AML was not successful and you will not be able to purchase the token for the time being. Please contact [email protected] for further information.
- After you have completed the AML, you will proceed to payment:
- If your wallet is empty, you can top up your wallet, by clicking “Top up wallet”. This will redirect you to Moonpay (see this section for more information on Moonpay) where you can exchange fiat currency (e.g. CHF or Euro) into cryptocurrency (USDC). Follow the steps as instructed by Moonpay.
Note: You will need USDC to purchase tokens on FANtium. Therefore make sure that it is selected as the currency you receive. FANtium will pre-fill the wallet address field with your wallet address connected to FANtium. If you want to change it, feel free to add a different wallet in the process. We propose you always enter a wallet address that is linked to your FANtium account to use the funds on FANtium. See this section on where to find your wallet address.
- Once you have sufficient USDC, you can click on “Continue”. Your wallet will now be approved for purchase. This may take a few seconds.
- In the next step, you will be asked to Approve the USDC for buying shares. Click on “Authorize spending” to allow your funds to be exchanged for the token. This will open a pop-up where you will need to click on "Confirm" , allowing the smart contract to withdraw the purchase prize from your wallet. This does not yet move any of your funds.
- Next you need to confirm that you are buying in your own name and that you have read and understood the terms of the "NFT sales agreement" and the "Annex 4 - KID". Set the check marks accordingly before clicking on "Buy token" to make the purchase. This will trigger another popup to open where you need to confirm the final purchsae.
- Yay, you made it. Now you can view your newly purchased token in your dashboard.
