About FansUnite

The FansUnite Protocol is an industry standard for sports betting and sports data applications built on the Ethereum blockchain. The Protocol will provide the infrastructure necessary to redistribute the responsibility over the execution and resolution of bets from centralized operators out to a network of independently operated and incentivized Oracles. This approach will provide bettors assurance that their bets are executed as entered, free from bias or tampering, while bet details are immutably and transparently stored on the Ethereum blockchain. The Protocol will provide the groundwork for a host of applications that span traditional bookmaking, betting exchanges, daily fantasy, and a variety of other services reliant on sports data. These decentralized applications (DApps) will be free to charge fees, utilize their own tokens for betting, and be able to set market prices based on full market information transparently available on the blockchain. For more details on the Protocol, please review the White Paper and Business Case.

FansUnite will develop the first DApp, the FansUnite Sportsbook, to leverage the FansUnite Protocol. The FansUnite Sportsbook will have all of the offerings of a traditional sportsbook, such as Bet365, while only accepting the FansUnite Token as a currency. The FansUnite Sportsbook will feature a 1% margin and social elements designed to allow collaboration amongst bettors. FansUnite anticipates a whole ecosystem of DApps leveraging the FansUnite Protocol and Oracle network, limited only by the ingenuity of developers and Community Members. The Sportsbook will also feature social elements designed to encourage user collaboration.

Other Applications currently being developed by FansUnite are an Oracles as a Service offering and a Venture Studio to fund the development of new DApps for the FansUnite Protocol.
