FantoBet

FantoBets is a new and exciting sports betting app designed for fans who want a simple and engaging way to bet on their favorite games. It uses fan tokens, which are digital passes that show you're a true supporter of a team. The app works by letting users share their predictions, called "intents," about the outcome of a game. This makes betting straightforward and fun, without any complicated processes.

After the game is over, FantoBets automatically checks the results and rewards users who made correct predictions. There's no need to worry about delays or fairness because everything is done smoothly and transparently. By using fan tokens, the app ensures that only real fans can join in, making it a special experience for sports enthusiasts.

FantoBets is all about bringing fans closer to the action while keeping things easy and enjoyable. It's a great way for fans to support their teams, test their predictions, and win prizes. With its focus on fans and fairness, FantoBets offers a fresh and fun way to enjoy sports betting like never before.

We built FantoBets to provide a simple and rewarding betting experience for sports fans, leveraging the Chiliz network and its fan token gating feature. The project was developed using a combination of blockchain, frontend, and backend technologies, all pieced together to ensure a seamless and secure user experience. At its core, we utilized Solidity to write smart contracts for managing bets, storing game results, and distributing prizes in a decentralized and trustless manner. These contracts interact with the Chiliz fan token network to authenticate and gate user participation, ensuring that only fan token holders can place bets.

For the frontend, we used Next.js to create a responsive and dynamic user interface, styled with Tailwind CSS to provide a clean and user-friendly design. The frontend communicates with the blockchain using Ethers.js, enabling users to connect their wallets, place their bets, and view game results directly from the app. On the backend, we integrated Node.js and Express to handle off-chain operations like intent tracking and API interactions with the Chiliz network. This setup allows us to provide a fast, reliable experience for users without compromising the decentralized nature of the platform.

Leveraging Chiliz as a partner technology was a key aspect of this project. Chiliz's fan token gating feature allowed us to make FantoBets exclusive to real fans, which enhanced the app's appeal and authenticity. A particularly notable and "hacky" approach we implemented was combining intent-based predictions with blockchain transactions, streamlining the betting process to be as user-friendly as possible. This innovation not only simplified the user flow but also reduced gas costs by optimizing smart contract interactions. By using Chiliz's infrastructure, we ensured that FantoBets stands out as a unique, fan-focused betting platform.
