LiveDuel Brings Web3 Sports Betting to Avalanche

Gaming

In a sports betting world overrun by centralized platforms plagued with high fees, limited markets, and a lack of transparency, LiveDuel emerges to up the ante.

Prioritizing the user experience. LiveDuel is using Avalanche to create a decentralized sports betting exchange built with its users in mind. The dApp will utilize Subnet features to offer effortless betting, enhanced liquidity, and to reward participation. The games begin with soccer, but users will vote to expand the platform to other sports.

Ecosystem Spotlight

The Arena

New Feature

The Arena is enhancing timelines with a new feature, Trending Posts. The feature runs an algorithm that improves content discoverability and gives smaller creators a better chance to stand out. Don’t worry, the algorithm won’t take over your timeline. Trending Posts adds two tabs to the apps’ UI – “following” and “trending” – that users can toggle between.

X is shaking in its boots.
