Foreon: A Decentralized Prediction Protocol On Cardano
Foreon Network is an innovative decentralized platform for predictions, which enables users to leverage their Foreon NFT Chip to open markets and make predictions on forthcoming events using Djed Stablecoin. By utilizing Cardano smart contracts, the platform guarantees a seamless, transparent, and trustless system for predictions and settlements, all without requiring intermediaries.
Problems
There is considerable scope for development within the Cardano ecosystem, and it is crucial that more builders and innovative projects emerge to fulfill its potential.
With the recent surge of hype and interest surrounding Cardano, it is essential that forward-thinking founders and developers capitalize on the platform’s speed and scalability by creating products that leverage the strengths of the Cardano ecosystem.
The sports betting and event prediction market is a largely untapped goldmine, with the industry currently worth over $100 billion and projected to reach $128 billion by 2028. Despite its enormous potential, the industry is riddled with problems, including a lack of innovation, limited market options, high fees, slow payouts, and clunky user interfaces that make the entire experience a nightmare for traders.
The good news is that we have an opportunity to incentivize innovation in this industry, which could bring about the next generation of prediction and betting products. By addressing the current challenges and delivering a seamless user experience, we could unlock massive adoption and revolutionize this sector.
Imagine a future where sports fans and prediction enthusiasts can make bets and predictions with ease, using cutting-edge technology and platforms that are fast, reliable, and intuitive. By incentivizing innovation and empowering developers to create innovative products, we can bring this future closer than ever before. Let’s work together to build the future of sports betting and event prediction and unlock the true potential of this exciting industry.
How Can We Do It Better?
Welcome Foreon Network
Foreon Network is set to revolutionize the prediction markets using blockchain technology in several ways:
- Decentralization: Foreon Network is a decentralized prediction market protocol that will be launched on Cardano Blockchain. This means that the platform operates on a distributed network, eliminating the need for intermediaries, resulting in trustless and transparent transactions.
- Pari-mutuel Betting: Foreon Network utilizes the pari-mutuel betting system, which enables all bets of a particular type to be placed together in a pool. The total amount of the pool is then divided among the winning bets, resulting in a fair and transparent payout system.
- Automated Settlements: With blockchain technology, decentralized prediction markets can automate traditional back-office settlement processes, resulting in near-instantaneous transactions. This can lead to decreased operating costs, greater efficiency, and more focus on innovation, development, and customer acquisition.
- Fast and Low-Cost Transactions: Cardano Blockchain, on which Foreon Network is built, is known for its high speed and low transaction fees, making it an ideal platform for efficient and cost-effective transactions.
- Innovation and Growth: By providing a decentralized, efficient, and cost-effective platform for prediction markets, Foreon Network can encourage innovation and growth in the industry. This can result in new products, better user experiences, and increased adoption, leading to revenue growth for the platform and its users.
Overall, Foreon Network has the potential to revolutionize the prediction markets, providing a decentralized, transparent, and efficient platform for users to participate in pari-mutuel betting and benefit from the advantages of blockchain technology.
Foreon, upon its launch, will facilitate decentralized, non-custodial, and trustless prediction market trading, market resolution by an on-chain oracle, and winner settlement, all powered by smart contracts on Cardano blockchain. This blockchain technology enables trustless and transparent trading, ensuring that all transactions on the platform are secure and tamper-proof.
With Foreon, anyone can create a new market based on possible outcomes of future events and earn a profit if their predictions are accurate. This allows for a diverse range of markets on the platform, making it a hub for prediction market trading.
How Does Foreon Network Work?
Here guide on how Foreon works:
- A user must possess a Foreon NFT Chip to be able to create a market. This helps prevent the markets page from being littered with low-quality or spam markets.
- To create the market, the user stakes a certain amount of cryptocurrency(DJED in this case) with their prediction in favor or against the outcome of a future event. For example, a user might create a market on the outcome of a presidential election, staking DJED in favor of a specific candidate.
- Other users can then trade shares in those markets with other users. For example, if someone believes that the candidate in the above example will win, they might buy shares in that market.
- As the event approaches and more users trade shares in the market, the price of each share will adjust based on the perceived likelihood of the predicted outcome. For example, if more people are buying shares in favor of a certain candidate, the price of those shares will increase.
- Once the event occurs, the final payout of the market is determined by the outcome of the event. If the predicted outcome is correct, the shares of users who correctly predicted the outcome will be worth 1. If the predicted outcome is incorrect, the shares of users who did not correctly predict the outcome will be worth 0.
- The market creator receives a percentage of the fees generated by trading in the market as an incentive to create and maintain the market.
Why Are We Building On Cardano?
Cardano is a third-generation blockchain that aims to provide a more secure and sustainable platform for building decentralized applications. Here are some of the unique features that make Cardano stand out:
- Scientific Philosophy: Cardano is built using a rigorous, scientific approach that involves peer-reviewed research and development. This approach ensures that the platform is secure, scalable, and sustainable.
- Proof of Stake Consensus: Cardano uses a consensus mechanism called Ouroboros, which is based on Proof of Stake (PoS). This means that instead of using computational power to secure the network, validators (or “stakers”) use their stake in the platform’s native cryptocurrency, ADA, to validate transactions and earn rewards.
- Layered Architecture: Cardano has a layered architecture that separates the ledger (where transactions are recorded) from the computation layer (where smart contracts are executed). This allows for greater flexibility and scalability, as different applications can run on different layers of the platform.
- Sustainability: Cardano is designed to be more energy-efficient and sustainable than other blockchains. It uses a novel approach called “treasury system,” which allocates a portion of transaction fees to a fund that is used to support the development of the platform.
- Interoperability: Cardano is designed to be interoperable with other blockchains and legacy systems. This means that it can communicate with other networks and exchange data and assets seamlessly, making it easier for developers to build cross-chain applications.
