AlphaBets

Chainblock applied to betting.

Alpha for innovation - Bets for football betting => AlphaBets

AlphaBets was created during the IBM Blockchain Hackaton and got the 1st place out of 80 teams. The challenge was to create an application using the Hyperledger Fabric technology in 4 days.

It is a decentralized football betting application, using the blockchain technology.

We built a Hyperledger Composer REST API, and used a football API (see below). We used Vue.js for the front-end and Golang for the back-end.

Here's an in-depth Google Slides presentation of the project, architecture, technological choices and UI.
