DELPHIBETS V1 — Are you up for a sneak peek?

Babylon is within reach. This article gives you information on the staged release of the DELPHIBETS protocol and an exclusive sneak peek of DELPHIBETS V1, deployed with Radix Babylon.

Babylon & DELPHIBETS:

The DELPHIBETS Team is working hard to release DELPHIBETS V1 for Babylon. The UI is being fine-tuned and prototypes are being tested.

The Babylon update is a significant milestone for Radix, introducing native token functionality, atomic composability, and scalability enhancements. It empowers users to create and manage their own tokens, enables seamless interaction between decentralized applications, and improves the network’s performance during periods of high usage. Babylon also includes upgrades to the consensus protocol and features for decentralized community governance, enhancing the security and decision-making processes within the Radix ecosystem.

DELPHIBETS V1 (P2P Betting):

DELPHIBETS V1 will be released with Radix Babylon. Its initial functionality of peer-to-peer bets on Radix Altcoins will be extended to include pari-mutuel pool betting (V1.5).

The DELPHIBETS protocol P2P betting smart contract facilitates the creation of 1 vs. 1 bets without the need for a trusted third party. Just create a bet, set the odds, lock your wager, and match your competitor. A small fee of up to 1.5% is charged. The bet’s outcome is finalized using the oracle selected during the bet creation, and winners receive their payouts based on the specified odds. There will be no restrictions on deposits or withdrawals, and successful bettors can be assured due to smart contract triggered payouts.

The video below gives you an insight on the current UI of DELPHIBETS V1. Make sure to check it out!
