At Principle we always like to explore new possibilities when it comes to developing use-cases for our platform. One of such use cases is betting — that is why we decided to take advantage of the World Cup 2018 that is currently taking place in Russia. If you are a true football fan, make sure to check it out and get the chance to win free tokens, as well as an airdrop.

The betting dApp is live and available at: worldcup.principle.network.

Principle explores more effective ways to validate decisions and resolve conflicts using consensus of the majority on the blockchain. It is especially useful for decentralized marketplaces, but can be applied to something as simple as determining the outcome of a bet.

Let’s say two parties placed a simple bet, but at the end can’t come to a conclusion who won. This is where Principle Protocol comes in, allowing anyone to put the decision in the hands of a decentralised network of peers, who validate the dispute and come to a general consensus.

Our World Cup 2018 betting dApp

Principle World Cup is an experimental dApp prediction game build on the Ethereum blockchain. Players are able to vote on upcoming World Cup 2018 matches, setting their own predictions and earning points for correct results. In the Knockout stage we aim to implement a dispute resolution option that will be based on the first alpha of the Principle Network.

🏆 Join the World Cup 2018 Competition at worldcup.principle.network.

World Cup 2018 dApp

We believe that betting platforms should be build with a resolution layer in mind, allowing users to dispute bets, if they believe the results are irregular. Such a system empowers the end-user and enables a sufficient level of insurance and comfort when trusting the platform. In sports betting, such occurrences may be rare, but it is always safer to play with a peaceful mind.

Rewards, including our first Airdrop!

We wanted to make a fun and easy to use platform, but since it is a competition, a leaderboard with the top users was also a must — and with it, why not, big rewards 🏆.

A prize pool of up to $5.000 will be distributed among top participants of Principle’s World Cup competition. All participants will also be awarded a special airdrop worth an additional $10.000, regardless of the users end result. All prizes will be distributed in PCI tokens after the token distribution event.

Oh, and don’t forget to join us on TELEGRAM for live match predicting! ⚽️🏆
