Today, Legion emerges from stealth with a promise: we will make ICOs great again.

Once upon a time, ICOs were revolutionary. They gave anyone with even a tiny amount of $ETH the ability to seed a founder’s dream.

Those opportunities gave rise to some of the industry’s most legendary communities… the #LINKMARINES and #thorchads to name a few.

It was a time of alignment and opportunity—until it wasn't. The ICO boom ultimately became a siren call for scrutiny, regulation, and unfortunately, exploitation. With this, equal access to ownership was regulated away.

And now we’re left with inaccessible private markets – markets that stand in stark contrast to crypto’s ethos. The few options available for public sales take place in a legal gray area, attracting lower quality projects desperate for capital or require heavy resource dedication to build a custom launch. By the time early users and community members have access to invest in the project, there’s little to no upside left. 

The result? Value extraction disproportionately benefiting those who already have insider access. And the most disheartening part? Retail is used only as short-term exit liquidity, instead of as long-term product evangelists and incentive aligned community members.

Legion exists for a singular purpose: to change that model once and for all.

We’ll do it by connecting the right investors with the right opportunities. And that access will be based on merit, your skill and passion, not the size of your wallet.

Whether you’re a top tier threadooor or a dedicated Dune analytics connoisseur, Legion is a place where people who want to contribute to a project can also invest in the community. 

Our mission is to give everyone the chance to make it.

And founders will benefit the most. No more passive whales as investors… instead, they’ll get an engaged value-add community of power users. An army of product evangelists. Their very own legion. 

We’ll lift the veil on our plans in the coming weeks and months. We’ll also begin onboarding potential new investors and founders, and we want YOU to join the Legion.
