The revolution of blockchain technology in casinos caused a negative outcome instead of a positive one. The adoption of blockchain technology encouraged anonymity and cyber anarchy, instead of promoting transparency and cost efficiency. Clearly, this didn’t look good, and a change became necessary.Sp8de, a distributed intermediary for digital institutions, as well as a platform with the ability to supply unbiased randomness for developing and running distributed casino applications, has been established, and integrates blockchain technology for trust, transparency and anonymity.Sp8de’s design suits the purposes of all actors of the online casino landscape.Sp8de’s decentralized nature, will ensure that casino is democratized.Between the first half of 2015 till the first half of 2016, in the European Union, the online gambling industry grew by almost 19%, and in this time,over US$2 billion in revenues were generated by the casino industry.Expectedly, the value will reach US$2.25 billion per year (12.5% revenue growth), between now and the year 2020.Between 2017 and 2025, online casino is also globally projected to grow about 130%, reaching US$97 billion with a cumulative annual growth rate of nearly 11%. The idea of Sp8de involves running a zero-house edge decentralized casino with close-to-zero transaction fees and provably fair random numbers feeding entropy into a myriad of Smart-Contract-based open source casino applications that can be developed by anyone who has a worthy idea by means of state-of-the art application-specific as well general-purpose programming languages, thus becoming the best iGaming protocol ever seen by the world.
It should be noted that Bitcoin has been popularly used in recent time for online betting. According to wagers, in 2017,nearly 3 Bitcoin has been used per minute for online betting. Also, the search for “Bitcoin Casino” has eclipsed that for “Online Casinos” since May 2017. This points to the fact that blockchain-based gambling is staggeringly taking over online casinos, and if the pace is upheld, there will be no benefits left for traditional online casinos consumers in the near future.
MECHANICS OF SP8DE
Sp8de will be built on the blockchain called Cardano. Cardano is a colossal project that embraces most far-reaching innovations and best practices in cryptocurrencies, and packed them into a single state-of-art system, and is being developed and maintained by a large team made up solely of PhD’s in the programming and cryptography field, as well as experienced engineers.Sp8de provides an environment for the design of gambling applications which are characterized with:
• Provides rich Smart Contract functionality that allows for creativity in game design that is bounded solely by the fantasy of the developer (and the demand for the resulting product)
• A mechanism to generate decentralized provenly uniform randomness at arbitrary time-spans
• Close-to-absent transaction fees and Proof-of-Stake powered scalability that is beyond the reach of any other on-chain casino protocol currently in existence, and
The integration of Cardano blockchain by Sp8de will help solve the following problems associated with on-chain casinos;
• Flexible and finance application-tailored scripting language
• Random number generation
• Transaction fees and scalability
