Keep Up with Everything:
The Peerplays Team is proud to present one of the first Decentralized Applications (DAPPs) which runs on Peerplays. The first ever global betting exchange:

Original Post from May 5th 2016 below
What is Peerplays?
The World’s First Decentralized Tournament Management and Wagering Platform
Built Entirely on the Blockchain
Guaranteed Provably Fair Gaming
Peerplays’ provably fair gaming system is 100% open source and built directly onto the blockchain. You never have to worry about cheaters or unfair house odds, because all games take place between real players are matched with each other through a series of on-chain smart contracts. On Peerplays, you can place wagers and win huge jackpots by using these very same smart contracts. Lightning Fast Speed and Network Capacity
Peerplays is built on Graphene, the fastest decentralized blockchain technology in the world. Graphene has been successfully tested to handle over 100,000 transactions per second with average block times of under 3 seconds.On-Chain Games
Casino card games are adjudicated by smart contracts as part of the native blockchain code, and Peerplays’ player matching algorithm creates a trustless on-chain gaming environment. Since Graphene is incredibly fast, it allows for the broadcast and revealing of blinded proofs at the frequency necessary to facilitate real-time gameplay.Fee-Backed Assets
The core tokens of Peerplays are integrated into a fee-sharing program called Fee Backed Assets or “FBA”. This means the blockchain automatically distributes a percentage of the fees from every jackpot for every game on the entire network to the holders of Peerplays core tokens. Digital Asset Exchange
You can create your own tokens, buy and sell gateway tokens for popular cryptocurrencies like BTC and ETH, wager with price-stable SmartCoins from the BitShares platform from a growing number of reputable gateway services. You also have the opportunity to provide your own profitable gateway services for in-game assets from all your favorite RPGs. Stakeholder Voting
Peerplays leverages the power of stakeholder voting to resolve consensus issues in a fair and democratic way. All network parameters, from fee schedules to block intervals and transaction sizes, can be fine tuned by elected delegates chosen by you and fellow stakeholders. Blockchain Guaranteed Referral Program
The Peerplays blockchain automatically pays you a percentage of the revenue earned by each new account you refer for the lifetime of that account. This means you earn “kickbacks” from everyone you refer. Gaming partners can earn even more by getting all their users to sign up for a Peerplays account. Mega-Jackpots
The Peerplays blockchain can sponsor large tournament jackpots by allocating a small percentage of every network fee into a smart contract-secured virtual account called the Mega-Jackpot Fund. Mega-Jackpot tournament events are automatically scheduled, and then funds are unlocked by the smart contract and instantly transferred to the tournament winners.PowerUp Points
You can earn PowerUp tokens every time you play in a Peerplays tournament. They are the player rewards points of the Peerplays network, and are distributed according to win-loss records and amounts wagered, among other factors. PowerUp is the only token accepted as the buy-in fee for Mega-Jackpot tournaments, so they will be in high demand during Mega-Jackpot sign up periods. They are tradeable on the digital asset exchange.Gaming Partner Support
As a gaming partner, you can connect your server through the Peerplays API and take advantage of the decentralized network for processing wagers and jackpots. You can also customize tournament structures, fee schedules, and fund collection & distribution methods in order to maximize your profit potential. Whether you are a game publisher, advertiser, tournament host or vendor, if you plug into Peerplays you will gain shared access to the entire network of users while still enjoying the freedom of operating your own independent website.Crowdfund Details
Contributions are accepted in Bitcoin (BTC) and bitUSD (BitShares) at www.peerplays.com as of May 6, 2016 at 15:00 UTC (10 am EST). (the crowdfund is now LIVE!)
A total of 1,000,000 tokens have been issued as User-Issued Assets (UIA) on the BitShares blockchain (symbol: “PEERPLAYS”), and will be distributed according to the following schedule:
200,000 - Initial 2 tier crowdfund
500,000 - Auction style crowdfund, 1 month before the launch of Peerplays blockchain (TBD)
300,000 - Bounties, rewards, ongoing development & contributors
BunkerChain Labs inc. will be accepting contributions for the remaining development of the Peerplays blockchain, and distributing 200,000 TOKENS in 2 tiers.
The first distribution began on May 6, and will end after all tokens for Phase 1 and Phase 2 have been distributed.
Phase 1: 100,000 tokens - @ $2.00 contribution/each
Phase 2: 100,000 tokens @ $3.00 contribution/each
The funds collected from the crowdfund will be used for continuing development, advertising, promotional, administrative and legal consulting fees. Development includes completion and delivery of the on-chain Tournament Management Platform, the on-chain wagering system, the automatic profit sharing distribution system, and the world’s first games built directly onto the blockchain itself.
After the Peerplays platform has been launched on a public test net for a period of open beta, Bunkerchain Labs will be conducting a 2nd fundraiser consisting of an “auction style” fundraising drive, during which the remaining 500,000 tokens will be distributed. This second crowdfund and distribution will begin approximately 1 month prior to the launch of the Peerplays blockchain.
