Matt O’Connor is the Founder of Legion, a platform that provides early access to the best ICOs and pre-token sales.
Why you should listenLegion is a merit-based, on-chain fundraising platform designed to bridge the gap between founders, VCs, and retail investors. Projects are evaluated not just on hype but on measurable signals (on-chain behavior, developer contributions, social metrics), and those metrics are distilled into a “Legion Score” that helps determine access and allocation. Importantly, Legion claims to be MiCA-compliant (i.e. aligned with European crypto regulation) in its operations, which gives it a regulatory defensibility that many launchpads lack.
A concrete example of its traction: Kraken has partnered with Legion to launch the Yield Basis (YB) token sale. In that offering, a portion of the allocation was reserved for users based on their Legion Scores, giving “builders” prioritized access over purely speculative buyers. That move demonstrates Legion’s attempt to shift the narrative from “first-come, loudest voice wins” to “the ones doing real work deserve preferential access.”
