Veil Markets

Veil is continuing to ship new features, including profiles and usernames. In their own words:

We’re excited to make Veil a more social experience. We’ll keep updating and improving social features each week, but we’d like to show off two big steps towards that goal: profiles and usernames. Profiles to start are just an accounting of your usage of Veil — how many markets you’ve participated in and your overall return.

You can also go update your own username now using this link: https://kovan.veil.market/account. Eventually your Veil identity will gain notoriety as both a market creator and participant. Start curating it now.

Additionally, Veil has built and launched the first version of a system to automatically report on Augur markets and resolve them in Veil. This feature is only open to a limited amount of markets at this time, but lets you redeem your Augur shares for ETH immediately on resolution.

Finally, check out an interview between Veil’s Paul Fletcher-Hill and 0x here.

Reminder, the Forecast Foundation has no role in the operation of markets, trades or actions created or performed on the Augur protocol, nor does it have the ability to censor, restrict, control, modify, change, revoke, terminate or make any changes to markets created on the Augur protocol. The Forecast Foundation has no more control over the Augur protocol than anyone else using Ethereum.

Thus, we do not seek to advise others on how to use the protocol. We encourage those in the community that are well educated on Augur to pay it forward and share their ideas for best practices, tips, fixes and etc with the larger community via Twitter, Reddit, Discord, Github and other community channels. For more information regarding the role of the Forecast Foundation, checkout the FAQ.

Cheers,

The Forecast Foundation OU
