Blockchain Meets Fantasy Sports
What is daily fantasy sport (DFS)?
Fantasy sports is a very rapidly growing part of the electronic sports and entertainment market. It grew almost five times in one decade. Starting with 12.6 million players in 2005, it approached 60 million in 2017, and that’s just in the US and Canada.
In the popular conception of fantasy sports, players draft a team and maintain it throughout an entire season, earning points when their players take effective action in real-world games. In daily fantasy sports, this whole season is reduced to one day. You’ll draft players in the morning and know your standing by the evening. Winners share the prize pool.
FANTASY SPORTS MARKET
The fantasy sports market is one of explosive development, growing almost five times over the past ten years. With some 12.6 million players active in 2005, that number approached 60 million in 2017, just for the US and Canada alone. As of June 2017, the fantasy sports industry has a market capitalization exceeding $7 billion, with the average player spending of $556 per year. The market is dominated by a pair of companies, FanDuel and DraftKings, that together own almost 90% of the market. They are followed by smaller players like Yahoo Fantasy.
WHAT WE OFFER
We solve existing fantasy sports problems using the blockchain and modern business practices. MyDFS offers:
Truly legal gaming around the world
Our platform replaces fiat money with cryptocurrency tokens, instantly doing away with the legal issues usually associated with fantasy sports. MyDFS is accessible, enjoyable, and legal for everyone in the world.
A streamlined user experience
Our simplified user interface suits any kind of gamer and challenges our competitors’ complex user experiences.
Fast user verification and worry-free transactions
All it takes to get authorized on MyDFS and start collecting winnings is an email address and the cryptocurrency you receive upon signup. Smart contracts exclude middlemen from the entire transaction process, so every transaction on the platform is quickly executed and properly verified.
Transparent gaming and fair play
Every transaction on our platform takes place on the blockchain, meaning they can be easily monitored by anyone involved (or even interested).
Profitable, investor-friendly gaming
In addition to playing on the platform themselves, users can also invest in other fantasy players and share the winnings when they do well. Investor money can only be used for playing the games the competitor agreed to participate in.
How It Works?
MyDFS platform The platform as a whole, including the mobile app, backend services, smart contracts, and so on.
Sign up/sign in procedure Users sign up with their existing Ethereum wallets, which we’ll link their game tokens to via QRcode, or by entering the address of their wallet, and then going through the wallet authentication procedure. The sign-in process stores authentication data locally so users don’t have to repeat the procedure every time they open the app.
User wallet This is a ERC-20-compatible Ethereum wallet that can hold user tokens and move them throughout the app. The tokens available to the user are stored in a smart contract.
Buy/sell tokens Users can buy and sell their tokens using the app, which connects to ICO and Exchange smart contracts that store token data and transaction histories.
ICO contract A smart contract that lets users buy tokens during the pre-sale and sale periods.
Exchange contract A smart contract that connects users with exchanges and lets them exchange tokens for other cryptocurrencies, buy more tokens for other cryptocurrencies, and so on.
Stats contract A smart contract that records user statistics. It can be used by every member of the blockchain to validate all transactions. It’s also used by other smart contracts, like a game contract, to get or store the data needed to calculate game results. Additionally, a brokerage contract can use the statistics to help brokers choose the right player to invest in, and monitor their performance.
Game contract A smart contract that records game data, player lineups, all in-game actions, and calculates the results of the game.
Sports data Outlined in chapter 4.3, third-party providers build data feeds that enable this platform to work. These feeds contain the real data from games held by major sport leagues, and we use it to calculate a virtual team’s in-game performance.
MyDFS token An Ethereum-based token we use for any value transactions on our system.
