**Introduction: Web3 technology is reshaping the trillion-level betting

market**

With its randomness and fun, betting activities (such as lottery, blind boxes, digital betting, lottery, etc.) have formed a huge market with over 500 billion US dollars and trillion-dollar users worldwide. However, traditional betting has long been facing a trust crisis due to centralized manipulation risks (such as "internal draw" and "data tampering".

To solve the above problems, decentralized solutions based on Web3 technologies such as blockchain are triggering industry changes. The on-chain prediction platform Polymarket successfully broke the circle with its event prediction function, verifying the feasibility of Web3 technology in the field of betting.

Recently, HashEpoch, a full-category betting platform targeting a larger market, has emerged. It has built system solutions from the underlying public chain to the application ecosystem, demonstrating its market ambitions and potential.

This article will systematically deconstruct HashEpoch's core competitiveness and industry value from dimensions such as business model, token economic model, ecological layout and future development prospects, and reveal its possibility of reconstructing the betting industry.

1. The core section of HashEpoch Group

(I) HashEpoch Sports Platform: Web3 full category betting platform

HashEpoch Sports Platform is an open Web3 competitive betting platform that ensures efficient and automatic execution of all projects, users, and assets through data transparency, fairness and justice, fund custody, security verification and other calls.

Compared with Polymarket and traditional betting and on-chain competitive platforms , Hash Epoch Sports Platform targets a larger market group. Polymarket only focuses on event prediction in the betting market, while Hash Epoch Sports Platform is positioned as a full-category betting platform for Web3. With years of industry experience and related background, it will integrate the entire betting industry chain and create a cross-border, full-category betting project aggregation platform, covering a variety of betting categories and projects from sports events, e-sports to international hot event predictions.

In terms of industrial chain integration and transformation, HashEpoch Sports Platform mainly solves the trust issues, asset security issues, inefficiency, and user retention in the betting market through four major innovative mechanisms .

  • Hash verification mechanism: ensures that the competition results are authentic and traceable through immutable hash values, taking into account processing efficiency;
  • Smart contract custody: Assets are automatically managed by publicly audited smart contracts to eliminate human operation risks;
  • Loss compensation mechanism: When a user loses, he can trigger a coin compensation contract and receive compensation in installments based on net value loss;
  • Behavior reward mechanism: Incentive users to participate in competitions, invitations and other behaviors through tokens/NFTs to increase participation.

(II) HashEpoch Sports Chain: The first public chain of betting oracle guessing oracle

HashEpoch is about to launch the public chain of betting oracle - HashEpoch Sports Chain . This public chain uses hash random execution and verification technology to create a "digital oracle" specially designed for the betting industry. It is expected to become the first oracle public chain in the industry that focuses on the betting track, aiming to solve the problem of on-chain data verification of chess and card games, and provide an efficient decentralized access solution for Web2 projects.

Specifically, HashEpoch Sports Chain will use the stability and fairness of the Ethereum main network to compile the main block hash, and use the "encrypted dictionary" to complete the analysis of random hash values ​​and corresponding chess and card classes and numeric classes results, as well as the processing of randomness problems.

This mechanism makes chess and card games no longer rely on centralized random logic to produce results, effectively avoiding players from encountering "algorithm locking" and "centralized control" when playing in traditional games. At the same time, it is also convenient for game publishers and developers to quickly access public chains through APIs to realize the authenticity, randomness and fairness of data during the game process.

For example, in a regular digital betting game, a simple random hash prize draw method only applies to cases where the result is specified as ABCD… and 0-9.

However, for playing cards, due to the complexity of its rules, it is difficult to use existing hashing methods to specify the player's card deal results and implement data randomness. For example, how to accurately define K in poker in a blockchain environment and distinguish whether it is a K or a K of a K of a K of a K of a K of a K of a K of a K of a K of a K of a K of a K of a K of a K of a K of a K of a K of a K of a K of a K of a K of a K of a K of a K of a K of a K of a K of a K of a K of a K of a K of a K of a K of a K of a K This requires a stable and complete set of "encrypted dictionaries" to complete the verification and parsing work.

HashEpoch Sports Chain emerged to solve the needs of this professional field. It plans to provide decentralized data oracle services to the entire industry to help solve key technical problems in blockchain applications. All online chess and card games and plural games can be easily linked through oracle interfaces, completing the upgrade and transformation from Web2 to Web3.

2. The model and mechanism of HashEpoch Sports Token

HEST is a native token of HashEpoch Sports Platform and HashEpoch Sports Chain , with a total issuance of 10 billion pieces. It not only plays a medium role in ecological application, public chain verification and other aspects, but also a target of the overall value and rights of HashEpoch.

(I) Token allocation

  • Insurance pool: 50% (5 billion pieces), mainly used for user loss compensation and ecological stability guarantee.
  • DEX liquidity: 10% (1 billion pieces), used to provide initial liquidity.
  • Other liquidity: 20% (2 billion pieces), used for ecological expansion and partner incentives.
  • Team: 10% (1 billion pieces), used for project development and operation.
  • Revenue reward for competitive projects: 5% (500 million pieces), used to incentivize the access to high-quality betting projects.
  • Node mining: 2.5% (250 million), used to incentivize nodes to participate in network maintenance.
  • Community rewards and airdrops: 2.5% (250 million pieces), used to improve community activity and user stickiness.

(II) Application scenarios of tokens

Margin : The margin pledge system for the handicap requires that all kinds of betting projects enter the platform, and 30% of the margin is required to purchase platform coins and pledge them, which creates a clear buying order for the token.

Pledge loan: Users can obtain up to 70% of US dollars by pledging HEST to participate in betting activities. The staking mechanism not only provides financial support for users, but also creates clear usage scenarios for tokens.

Platform business value-added equity: Users who hold HEST can obtain the equity value-added equity of the platform ecological business.

Dividend rights: Holding coins is equivalent to holding shares, enjoying dividends on the platform's turnover income .

Public chain application: HEST is a Hash Epoch Sports Chain public chain Gas, used for node staking and other operations and the settlement fee for game parties to retrieve data, further increasing the value support of tokens.

Insurance claims : The platform generates insurance policies for loss-making users, and the compensation is carried out in the form of HEST. Users can participate in various activities in the ecosystem by holding coins, such as mining, node pledge, liquidity provision, etc.

(III) Token repurchase and destruction

25% of the platform's profits are used to repurchase HEST and deflation destruction. Some of the income from public chain retrieval and node pledge will also deflate with the interaction, continuously injecting funds into the value of tokens and increasing the long-term value of tokens.

(IV) Analysis of sustainability and value potential

Unlike most Web3 projects, the value of HEST is driven by a real business system, with profitability and application scenarios outside of tokens, which is expected to avoid the dilemma of "death spiral" due to the lack of real consumer demand after circulation and interaction .

a. Sustainable mechanism for token supply and demand

  • There are many rigid consumptions on the demand side, such as the pledge mechanism, margin system, lending demand, Gas consumption, and insurance compensation, which ensure the continuous consumption of tokens.
  • The supply-side deflation model + strict release is used to curb inflation risks. On the one hand, the platform uses 25% of its profits to repurchase HEST regularly and destroy it, directly reducing circulation. As the business scale expands and the destruction intensity increases, a positive cycle can be formed. On the other hand, the team and ecological tokens adopt an installment unlocking mechanism to avoid centralized selling. Liquidity pool tokens are gradually released through incentive plans to ensure market stability.

b. Ecological growth and value capture

  • Betting platform traffic monetization: As the user scale expands, the platform's handling fees, margin pledge and lending demand will drive the long-term demand of HEST.
  • Cross-chain and ecological cooperation: In the future, it can expand the multi-chain ecosystem, attract more betting DApps to access, and expand the application scenarios of HEST.
  • Community Governance and DAO: Coin holders can participate in ecological governance to further enhance the practical value and willingness to hold the token.

c. Long-term deflation model

  • Accelerated destruction: As the platform's profits grow, the repurchase and destruction efforts are increasing, and the circulation continues to decrease, forming a positive cycle of "deflation + value-added".
  • Nodes and liquidity incentives: attract long-term holders through mining and liquidity rewards, reducing market selling pressure.

In general, the economic model design of HEST tokens takes into account short-term incentives and long-term value accumulation. Through a multi-level supply and demand mechanism and deflation model, it lays the foundation for the sustainable development of the ecosystem and the growth of token value. With the expansion of ecological scale and the deflation effect emerging, HEST may become an important value carrier of the Web3 betting track.

III. Development potential and challenges

(I) Market potential

The "three-pronged" model composed of Web3 betting platform, public chain and tokens promote each other to form a virtuous cycle.

HashEpoch Sports Platform utilizes blockchain technology and innovative mechanisms to solve the trust crisis in the traditional betting industry, and at the same time provides advantages such as low handling fees, instant payments, and behavioral rewards to enhance user experience and attract global users.

As the underlying infrastructure, HashEpoch Sports Chain not only provides decentralized and tamper-free technical support for betting platforms, but also expands diversified application scenarios, such as NFT, DeFi, etc., and promotes industry standardization and ecological development.

As the core asset of the entire ecosystem, HashEpoch Sports Token gives clear value support to the tokens through mechanisms such as pledge, repurchase and destruction, and at the same time encourages users to participate in ecological construction and enhances user stickiness.

HashEpoch Group is expected to reshape the global betting market structure and promote the industry's comprehensive transformation from a traditional model to Web3.

Judging from the growth potential of the Web3 betting platform, the global betting market is huge, with over US$500 billion in 2023. It is almost an exact trend for the traditional betting industry to complete its transformation through Web3 technologies such as blockchain. At the same time, betting platforms also have certain network effects. If HashEpoch Sports Platform can gain market share earlier through first-mover advantages, such as gaining 10% of the market share, it is also an opportunity of US$50 billion.

Judging from the growth potential of the oracle public chain, Chainlink, as the leader of the oracle track, mainly serves DeFi, cross-chain data and other scenarios, providing off-chain data feed prices for smart contracts, and its market value once exceeded US$50 billion. Compared with Chainlink, HashEpoch Sports Chain focuses on the vertical field of competitive betting, with larger real application scenarios, and future growth potential is worth looking forward to.
