What is Gimli?
Live eSports events are getting more popular every day, market studies have also shown that live stream audiences crave attention and ways to interact with their hosts and until now, the options for this interaction has been quite limited.
Gimli is a decentralized application built on Ethereum that facilitates a decentralized betting system for live eSports. Its aim is to remodel the industry by allowing streamers to create transparent and trustless real-time betting that does not depend on a third party acting as a bookmaker. By sharing all revenues with partner streamers, Gimli creates a new way for them to interact and monetize their large audience, providing an untapped, stable source of revenue. See our GIM coin page here and read our overview of Gimli project here.
