The purpose of the Origin Sport platform is to introduce a decentralized method of conducting sports bets. Our smart contracts are pre-scheduled and ensure results and winnings distributions are tamper-proof. The goal of the system is to allow anyone to host their own bets while ensuring the integrity of the placed bets. As such, the increased transparency of the system will allow us to work with regulators in identifying potential money laundering fraud on our platform as well as monitoring user betting quotas through a combination of real-name systems. We believe this will go a long way towards bringing this industry into the light and encouraging governments to revisit legislation regarding sports betting.
Rocket Pool is a next generation decentralised staking network and pool for Ethereum 2.0 Rocket Pool is a self-regulating network of node operators; it automatically adjusts its capacity to match demand. The Rocket Pool protocol token is used to maintain an optimal capacity by: Increasing capacity when needed, by incentivising node operators to join. Decreasing capacity when not needed, by disincentivising node operators from joining. In addition to depositing ETH, a node operator is required to deposit a set amount of RPL per ether they are depositing. This RPL:ether ratio is dynamic and is dependent on the network utilisation. E.g: If the network has plenty of capacity, then node operators need more RPL to make deposits. It gets progressively more expensive in terms of RPL to make node deposits when the network does not have enough ETH from regular stakers to be matched up with node operators. This helps prevent several attack vectors outlined in the whitepaper and keeps assignment of ether ‘chunks’ to nodes quick. If the network is reaching capacity, then node operators need less RPL to join as the network needs more node deposits to be matched up with regular users deposits. If the network is maxed out and needs node operators to join quickly, it even drops to 0 for the first one to make a deposit.
