Among Friends is a peer-to-peer trustless betting protocol where users create and settle wagers without third-party oracles just human consensus.
AmongFriends is a decentralized, customizable betting platform that empowers users to create, join, and resolve bets without the need for oracles, centralized authorities, or intermediaries. Built for trustless coordination among friends, communities, and crypto-native users, the platform redefines how people engage in prediction, wagers, and friendly challenges in a censorship-resistant and fair way.
At its core, AmongFriends enables users to launch fully on-chain, self-contained bets where outcomes are determined by participant or spectator consensus. The system uses a slashing mechanism to enforce honest voting and prevent collusion—delivering a governance-based alternative to traditional betting markets.
🧠 Custom Bet Engine
Create structured bets with custom metadata: title, description, category, subcategory, and optional sport/challenge parameters.
👥 Community-Based Resolution
Outcomes are decided by participants or spectators through a decentralized voting mechanism—no price feeds, oracles, or admin override.
💰 ERC20 Token Staking
Bets are powered by token staking. Users lock funds to participate and earn or lose based on the final community-approved outcome.
⚖️ Slashing-Based Integrity Model
When disputes arise, voters who side with the losing outcome are slashed (e.g., 70–30 logic). This ensures strong alignment with truth and fairness.
🧾 Off-Chain Referral System
Users can share referral codes to grow the platform organically, without adding complexity to on-chain storage or contracts.
📊 Subgraph Integration (The Graph)
All bet data (status, participants, votes, timestamps) is indexed for frontend performance, filtering, analytics, and real-time updates.
🛠️ No Factories or Proxies
Each bet is a standalone, minimal contract—gas-optimized, audit-friendly, and permissionless to deploy.
Smart Contracts: Solidity (standalone escrow, vote, and slashing logic)
Frontend: Next.js, Tailwind CSS, Wagmi, RainbowKit
Indexing: The Graph (deployed subgraph for all bet-related queries)
Storage: IPFS / CID for off-chain metadata and bet category tagging
🏆 Challenge Wagers: e.g. “Who runs 10km first?”
⚽ Sports Predictions: e.g. “Who wins the next Man City vs. Arsenal game?”
🎯 Personal Bets: e.g. “Will John finish the feature by Friday?”
🗳️ Community Votes: e.g. “Will this DAO proposal pass?”
🤝 Social Experiments: e.g. “Will X trend on Twitter next week?”
AmongFriends fosters technological fairness by:
Removing dependency on centralized systems and price feeds.
Enabling autonomous, peer-driven governance for social bets.
Ensuring transparent, verifiable, and immutable resolution.
Providing open access betting tools to DAOs, communities, and individuals alike.
It’s more than just a betting app—it’s a modular protocol for trust-minimized coordination and shared truth.
