What is Poller?

Poller is decentralized cryptocurrency prediction platform built over the blockchain technology. With poller we aim at decentralizing and opening market for predictors using cryptocurrencies and the Blockchain.

What is EST?

EST(EsterNetwork Token) is an ERC20 token that powers Poller. EST token is used to place predictions and prediction settlement amount is credited back in the form of EST tokens.

How to get EST?

Since EST(EsterNetwork Token) is not available on public platforms. Hence there is only one way to get EST token and get started on poller.

In order to get EST token for predictions one needs to Deposit supported cryptocurrencies (Ethereum, Ripple, Nano for now we support only these). When you deposit Crypto into poller wallet it will automatically get converted into Equivalent EST based on market price. One can disable this feature and manually convert to EST from Poller.

Please watch this video for more info on how to convert to EST

How poller can benefit CryptoLovers?

Poller is built for crypto lovers and only crypto lovers can predict on poller.in
if you don’t hold cryptocurrency then get it now. You can buy crypto from exchanges like Binance, Koinex, Bitfinex, Kucoin etc.

When you predict on poller using your crypto you have to put some amount of EST at stake. Once poll results are out EST tokens will be distributed between predictors based on poll results.

Example:
Suppose there are 10 predictors out of which 7 predictors put 100 EST at stake on OPTION 1 and 3 predictors put 100 EST on OPTION 2.

Now poll results came out and OPTION 2 is the winner.
Here 7 predictors loose and 3 won.

Looser’s will receive 70% amount at stake ( 100 — 30 = 70 EST credited back)
30% will contribute to the looser’s pool. i.e They will receive ~70 EST against 100 EST

Winner’s will receive 100% amount at stake + equivalent amount of EST from the looser’s pool. (100 + ~65 EST based on mathematical calculation). i.e They will receive ~165 EST against 100 EST
