Venue One: new blockchain-powered predictions exchange deploying on Algorand

Venue One, a new blockchain-powered predictions exchange will soon launch live operations on Algorand. Deploying on the Algorand chain will enable Venue One to deliver super speed, flexibility, and security.

In May of 2022, Venue One declared beta tests would begin. The platform had complete functionality in the beta stage, and beta-testers were able to make predictions and offer feedback to the Venue One team.

After a final audit is complete, the launch date will be imminent. However, the Venue One team noted that the official launch date will depend on current market conditions.

Decentralized, non-custodial prediction protocol built on the Algorand blockchain…

On Venue One, users are able to take positions in sports, eSports, finance, events, and more, with a focus on short-duration markets and events.

Besides support for USDC and USDT stablecoins, Venue One has its native token anointed $VENO, which powers players and liquidity by providing rewards.

Players can interact with the platform in three ways:

  1. Classic Bets – which demand and supply between buyers and sellers define the price or odds. Basically, people will bet on a yes or no outcome for particular events.
  2. Liquidity Pools of Mutual Bets – where the liquidity of the pool determines the outcome.
  3. Financials – Venue One is working on a forthcoming exchange for financial assets and indices.

One of the prominent features of the Venue One prediction protocol is that it enables users to deposit collateral and access payouts in stablecoins (USDC and USDT). Those who don’t operate with stablecoins can use the fiat and $ALGO on-ramps.

Essentially, players can put collateral against their predictions and receive payouts in stablecoins.

Initial support will feature USDC and USDT for collateral and payouts

Liquidity providers (LPs) can deposit funds while betting against certain outcomes to ensure that the market built around an event has enough liquidity. This constructs high-volume markets in sports, eSports, and other categories while helping LPs secure generous rewards at low risk.

Final outcomes on bets will be a hybrid approach, using decentralized, 3rd-party data to verify outcomes. Eventually, the Venue One team plans to decentralize outcomes by using on-chain oracles to verify results.

Founder

The protocol was created by George Cotsikis, who trained as an engineer and has more than two decades of experience working in traditional finance, mainly trading quantitative portfolios. He held senior positions at Salomon Brothers and Citigroup, which eventually acquired the former.

Leveraging Algorand, Venue One provides the following benefits:

  • Low Fees — Algorand employs a consensus mechanism called Pure Proof of Stake (PPoS), which enables fast transactions at a low cost. If it went for other major blockchains, users could have ended up spending more than $50 to make a $100 transaction, which is not reasonable or feasible.
  • Instant Finality — on Algorand, every transaction reaches finality in less than five seconds. Elsewhere, it can take several minutes to more than an hour to fully confirm a transaction on Proof of Work (PoW) blockchains. A trading venue has to resolve prices in seconds at worst. When a player places a bet or trade, he has to know at which level they have traded immediately, not in half an hour.
  • Safety — Algorand is intrinsically a secure ecosystem since it relies on randomness as the main principle of how the committee of validating nodes is selected. Also, it provides a developer-friendly ecosystem that enables smart contract developers to avoid potential loopholes and bugs.
