The more cryptocurrency’s popularity grows, the more individuals become interested in cryptocurrency-based gambling.
A project like LunaFi is a revolutionary upgrade to traditional betting platforms and innovates the world of gambling by fusing it with blockchain.
The interest in playing games of chance and betting on sports over the internet has seen a huge rise as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Wagering shops and casinos were forced to close down or operate with a limited capacity – and this is great news for digital gaming platforms.
What Is LunaFi?
Blockchain is increasingly the technology behind the gambling industry. Some of the significant benefits that blockchain technology can offer to the industry include security, validity, anonymity, and cost-efficiency of the industry’s core transactions.
Although hundreds of gambling platforms have allowed crypto bets, providers also should become more flexible and innovative to meet the needs of an ever-changing market.
The appeal of gambling platforms such as LunaFi lies in that they offer fast transfer speeds and anonymity.
More and more online gamblers are preferring to use cryptos for their betting hobby than ever before.
What is surprising, given the recently explosive Defi sector is that there have been very few betting applications in it that simultaneously can leverage the full potential of this new technology and attract mainstream customers.
Making Gaming Better for Everyone
LunaFi is the decentralized betting protocol where users own a share of the house. In addition to the benefits of a blockchain-gambling platform.
It also establishes community ownership and governance profitable experience for all owners of $LFI, the native token of LunaFi.
Liquidity providers are able to deposit USDC / BTC / ETH into the house pools to earn a share of the profit gathered from activity on the platform and receive additional rewards in $LFI.
Problems in both the traditional and crypto betting industries abound, from withholding winnings, bad actors, poor odds, and high margins for everyone but the clients.
Lunabets is the first application built on the LunaFi protocol. It is a non-custodial betting dAPP using LunaFi smart contracts and liquidity pools to guarantee trustless payouts.
This means an immediate settlement made by the smart contract to the winning party, therefore, that can remove the risk of not receiving users’ winnings. Users can claim their rewards under $LFI from LunaFi.
How Does LunaFi Work?
As mentioned, the decentralized betting protocol is powered by its native token $LFI.
Players can earn $LFI rewards for placing bets on Lunabets, while liquidity providers earn $LFI for providing liquidity. Also, stakers earn $LFI for participating in the governance of the platform. In this game, users are the favorite that all revenues of the ecosystem will remain with $LFI holders.
The smart contract ecosystem includes:
House Pools are pools that liquidity providers deposit to bankroll Lunabets including sportsbooks and casinos. In that, USDC, BTC, and ETH are the initial pools.
Treasury DAO is a DAO wallet for cold storage of treasury funds that will distribute profits to cover costs and to the community via the rewards contract.
Rewards Contract is responsible for distributing $LFI to players and liquidity providers.
$LFI Staking Pool is a contract that requires $LFI to be staked to participate in voting on various proposals for ecosystem improvements.
In addition, users also will receive revenues from $LFI wagers plus $LFI which is from the treasury contract in return for securing the protocol.
