💥 Azuro X SupraOracles 💥

Hot on the heels of yesterdays announcement about the redesign of the Azuro app, we have another big partnership announcement for you guys!

We're pleased to announce an official partnership with Supra Oracles

As many of you know, we use oracles to set the initial odds of markets. Supra will help us bridge the gap between centralized betting data and Azuros decentralized protocol, providing match game metadata, odds and results for sports, eSports with a focus on GameFi

Azuro is designed to be multi-chain, Supra Oracles is compatible with all the top 10 L1s in the space, users will be able to bridge assets more easily between chains, allowing anyone to place bets on the front-ends regardless of what chain they are on.

Did we mention that Supra has native oracles for dNFTs 👀

Supra already has some of the biggest names in web3 under their belt - Binance, FTX & Crypto.com

The future is bright and we're just getting going!

⭐️Azuro X Immunefi - Bug Bounty ⭐️

Announcing the Azuro Bug Bounty in collaboration with Immunefi. White hats and developer hot shots. this one is for you!

Reward Pool - $31,500 (Full details in the Tweet below)

Critical - $21,500
High - $7000
Medium - $2000
Low - $1000

We announced last month that we would be postponing our launch of mainnet to work on some vulnerabilities we discovered in a code review with Gnosis, these were missed in our initial audits.

We have since addressed, and fixed, that particular vulnerability and are in the process of having another round of audits completed.

Our peer-to-pool liquidity design, dubbed "The Liquidity Tree", is at the cutting edge of smart-contract innovation, building an approach to prediction markets that will make them work efficiently at scale.
This is why we have launched the bug bounty in conjunction with these audits to ensure that the code is as bullet proof as possible. Your safety is our priority

💥🌲Azuro - Introducing "The Liquidity Tree" 💥🌲

We're excited to finally announce a giant leap forward in the architecture of Azuro, today we introduce "The Liquidity Tree" 🌲

The prediction market model you are used to is known as "Peer-To-Peer", what is Peer-To-Peer? It involves a market maker creating a market, seeding the liquidity and pricing the market. This is what all past attempts at prediction markets have done.
It is essentially no different to how traditional bookmakers operate. As we have seen in the past, this design is flawed, inefficient and doesn't scale well - Which is why past attempts (Augur, Gnosis, PolyMarket) never took off.

The solution? Peer-To-Pool

Peer-To-Pool is how Azuro functions. It breaks down the market maker role into 3 distinct roles:

Market Pricing (Odds provision)
Market Creation (Oracles)
Liquidity (Liquidity Providers)

Although this sounds simple, it is not and current liquidity pool designs couldn't solve the problem associated with this model - So we built our own.

"The Liquidity Tree":

Is the first of it's kind, tailor-made, bespoke solution to liquidity pools. The Liquidity Tree name is inspired by a well-known data structure in Computer Science known as Segment Tree, which we utilize for the data in the new liquidity pool design.

The result is a decentralized betting solution with near limitless liquid betting markets, feature rich environment that rival any traditional sports book and UX that will show clearly defined odds for bettors.

The Liquidity Tree is a new piece of open-source code that Azuro hopes will become a popular household name similar to the AMM (Uniswap, 1nch, QuickSwap) and will fuel the birth of specialized prediction markets.

🔥 Azuro Protocol - Official Mainnet Launch 🔥

Azurians!

The moment you've all been waiting for...

We have just deployed the contracts to Gnosis mainnet, liquidity added in the form of xDAI will follow shortly.

MAINNET IS HERE!!!!

--------------------------------------

Azuro Protocol

Azuro is the base layer for decentralized betting. A piece of open-source code which enables independent Liquidity Providers, Data Providers & Oracles to interact at the protocol level.

Data Providers deliver a feed with initial betting odds, Oracles import the priced markets on-chain, then these markets receive parts of the liquidity from the Liquidity Pool, where LPs have put money.
Then, the user experience and the environment where bettors bet can be delivered by independent Frontend Operators (apps, websites, widgets, etc.).

Our code has undergone audits by 2 auditing companies (Hacken & Pessimistic Labs), white hackers, helpers (like Whitejar.io), partners (like Gnosis) and we’ve been running a bug bounty program with ImmuneFi for a while.

These are exciting times for decentralized betting. We hope that a rich, fun betting environment with decreased cost of service to players, full transparency, community-run by the Azuro DAO and with a commitment to responsibility will emerge around Azuro protocol’s innovation.
--------------------------------------

We would like to give a special thank you to everyone in the community who has supported us on our journey.

This is only the beginning for Azuro, we’re ready to deliver the solution to betting that the world needs - Transparent, Decentralized & Permissionless betting governed and owned by YOU.

A lot of exciting announcements are in store for you over the next couple of weeks

🔥Azuro Protocol X bookmaker.XYZ 🔥

Azurians, the time has come, a major milestone in the journey of Azuro has been achieved. After almost a full year of painstaking development and marketing - the Azuro mainnet is here.

With mainnet officially here, we’re delighted to announce the very first front-end that has been built on Azuro has officially launched.

You will now be able to place real money bets and experience a fully decentralized and permissionless Web3 experience bettors have wanted for years!

We would like to introduce you to…

—-----------------------------------

💥⚡️ bookmaker.XYZ ⚡️💥

https://bookmaker.xyz/

bookmaker.XYZ is the first of its kind betting service built directly into the internet.

Here, there is no company (no “bookmaker” or “house”) to take your money and your bets and make decisions on what to do with it.

Your money is your money. Always. Unlike traditional web2 bookmakers where you have to deposit your money, so that you can bet, with bookmaker.XYZ you never make deposits.

When you bet your money is locked into blockchain smart-contracts which have predetermined outcomes. Once the game/event finishes - the contract allows you to claim your winnings (if you won). bookmaker.XYZ can never withhold your money or decide if or when you get your winnings. It has no access to it.

—-----------------------------------

To support the launch of bookmaker.XYZ, we have sent the XYZ team a number of NFTs which be used as giveaway for users who join their Discord during the first week. Head over to their Discord for details (Invite link below).

The fun doesn’t stop there, the XYZ team have a variety of different community promotions launching in tandem with XYZ Discord roles, GNO tokens and prizes up for grabs!!

🤖Azuro is moving to Discord 🤖

Hey frens,

Azuro V2 testnet began in January 2022. At the time we made a concerted effort to move the community over from Telegram to Discord. We definitely achieved that with the Azuro Discord growing from around 2000 to 8000+ in a year.

We have left the Telegram open for a year, but we feel it's the right time to close the doors as the majority of the community is over on Discord anyway. Come join us, it's a blast🤗

Our social media platforms will be now be Discord & Twitter:

Join the Discord: https://discord.gg/azuro

❕The Azuro Telegram is being closed down and we're moving to Discord entirely (Groups will be left open for 1 week to give you ample time to switch) 💪
