In just 12 days, we gained 20k users, processed 20k Era mainnet transactions, and attracted $2.7M in proof of trust.
We have several things to share with zkSync friends and partners. Time to get emotional 🧵
#1 We've been building Goal3 for more than 6 months.
Our first contact with the zkSync Foundation was 3 months ago, but our Sportsbook went through multiple dev-nets even before we properly set up our Discord and Twitter accounts.
#2 Could we have invested heavily in paid shills and raised a sizeable amount through a token sale? Probably.
$1M raise is achievable, given the recent risk-on market sentiment.
1/ Why @Goal3_xyz will be built natively on zkSync Era. A thread.
On-chain betting has many benefits, but it still has some issues that hold it back from mainstream adoption. Slow transaction speeds, high gas fees, and slippages are among the most significant problems.
2/ Slow tx speed: due to the nature of blockchain technology, txs often take some time to go through
High tx fees: placing a bet should not cost >$0.01. On some networks, it takes up to a few bucks
Slippages: most casinos has terrible slippages due to limited liquidity
