## What Is Oddz (ODDZ)?

Oddz aims to build a multi-chain options and derivatives trading platform on [Binance Smart Chain](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/what-is-binance-smart-chain), [Polkadot](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/polkadot-new/) and [Ethereum](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/), enabling users to trade customized options with rewards. It will be leveraging layer 2 solutions and relayer networks to solve the latency and lowering the gas fee for Ethereum transactions. 

The project was founded in late 2020, and the whitepaper was published on Mar. 1, 2021 and an initial DEX offering ([IDO](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/initial-dex-offering)) was held on Mar. 18, 2021, selling 900,000 tokens to hundreds of supporters. It was already backed by several industry leading investment funds, including AU21 Capital, Woodstock and NGC ventures.


### Who Are the Founders of Oddz ?

Oddz team is unique among the majority of crypto projects because it is led by a female CEO, Aishwarya Shivakumar, while all of the startup leadership is of Indian descent.

Aishwarya Shivakumar, before founding Oddz, had several positions where she was responsible for social media marketing in Indian companies such as Etudemy and Laetus, lasting from 2-10 months. She has a bachelor's degree in electrical, electronics and communications engineering from the Global Academy Of Technology

Shreedhar Shreenivasa is a co-founder and CTO at Oddz. Before joining the project, he was been a software developer at Uber for three years, tech lead in Practo, UI developer at Flipkart and front end engineer at Cleantrip.com

Krupa Sagar(Principal Engineer) has ten years of experience building production-ready software employing scalable architecture, distributed computing, microservices, test-driven development, cloud & on-premise infrastructure.

Bhargav Kacharla is a senior software engineer with prior experience at Rakuten, OpenText and Tata Consultancy Services and has certified level of blockchain knowledge.

Kantharaju Gowda is a chief business development officer at Oddz, previously working at Bounce, RCube and for seven years at Cleantrip.com. He has a bachelor's degree in economics from the University of Mysore.


#### What Makes Oddz Unique?

As projected, Oddz will facilitate the creation, maintenance, execution and settlement of trustless option contracts, conditional token agreements and futures contracts, acting as some sort of an automated market maker ([AMM](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/automated-market-maker-amm)). It aims to become a player in the [DeFi](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/what-is-decentralized-finance) ecosystem by simplifying derivatives trading and enhancing the user experience. Key proposed features include blockchain-agnostic seamless integrations with DeFi platforms and multi-chain trade, customizable automated options, zero gas fees and an inbuilt oracle to accurately retrieve real-time market data.

The ODDZ is the native utility token representing the Oddz Protocol and its ecosystem. The token is the central point of the incentivization structure on the Oddz Protocol and its governance models. It will be used for the following: protocol transaction fees, staking and yield farming, decentralized governance, referral bonuses and as a reward mechanisms for providing and validating accurate data. Staking in Oddz works by the following principle: the user locks his tokens to facilitate transactions and then earns a share in settlement fee. The mechanism of decentralized governance for Oddz is not yet described, but it will allow users to actively participate in major protocol proposals and upgrades.

#### How Many Oddz (ODDZ ) Coins Are There in Circulation?

The maximum total supply is 100,000,000 ODDZ coins.

According to the [plan](https://medium.com/oddz-finance/oddz-a-comprehensive-breakdown-of-tokenomics-and-distribution-details-2f3f92c02c06), 8% is allocated for Seed Sale, 15.8% will be allocated to private sale with tokens vested for 12 months with 15% released at the TGE, 0.5% tokens are allocated to early supporters and 1.2% tokens will be allocated during the public sale.

Oddz Finance will have 42% tokens allocated for its own operations, including 18% for platform and community development, 4% for security and alignment fund, 10% for marketing and 10% in a reserve fund.

Only 15% of tokens will become staking rewards.

The Oddz founding team and advisory board will be allocated 16.5% ODDZ with a vesting schedule of 3 years with 25% being unlocked every six months after a six months cliff.

The initial circulating supply of $ODDZ token will be 9,220,000, i.e. 9.22% of the total aggregate supply. This would comprise 800,000 from seed investors, 2,370,000 from private investors, 1,700,000 from both early supporters and public sale, 1,800,000 from the ecosystem, 150,000 from strategic rounds, 400,000 from the security & alignment fund, 1,000,000 from marketing and 1,000,000 from reserves.


### How Is the Oddz Network Secured?

Currently, ODDZ is a standard [ERC-20](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/erc-20) token, meaning that it runs on and is secured by the Ethereum blockchain. Ethereum, in turn, is secured by its Ethash [proof-of-work](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/proof-of-work-vs-proof-of-stake) function.

ERC-20 merely defines a set of rules for tokens, as well as security considerations mainly related to the strength of the Ethereum network. For example, congestion can hike the price of [gas](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/gas-price) needed to perform transactions, leading to delays and abnormally high transaction fees, which impact all participants.

Separately, [smart contracts](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/smart-contract) can cause security issues that could lead to DeFi traders losing funds; in fact, hackers have already succeeded in stealing millions of dollars in DeFi’s short lifetime as of March 2021.


### Where Can You Buy Oddz (ODDZ)?

ODDZ has only recently become available into the market, so the number of places where one can buy it is yet limited as of March 2021. Available exchanges for trading in Oddz are currently [Uniswap (V2)](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/uniswap-v2/),  [Bilaxy](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/bilaxy/), and [1inch Exchange](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/1inch-exchange/) with trading paris against [Ethereum](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/).

The Suterusu Protocol is a second-layer private payment infrastructure for smart contract platforms. The Suterusu Protocol uses the original and most advanced ZK-ConSnark algorithm that does not require a trusted setup. The algorithm’s proof size is significantly reduced and the proof generation and verification efficiency are greatly improved compared with similar solutions. Since no trusted setup is required, it is safe and transparent. The technical paper has been accepted by Eurocrypt 2021(https://eurocrypt.iacr.org/2021/acceptedpapers.php, https://eprint.iacr.org/2021/540). The Suterusu Protocol has been deployed on Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Heco, SmartBCH (BCH sidechain), Theta, etc. We plan to deploy Suterusu protocol on the following smart contract platforms including Near, Solana, Avalanche, Moonbeam, Plasma, Matic, etc. It is also the first privacy project funded by the official Cypherpunk Guild Fund of Near. We are also applying for the Solana and Polkadot ecosystem grant. The Suterusu Protocol intends to build a private payment infrastructure for any cryptocurrency. The Suterusu project has received investment from well-known institutions such as Dialectic (a fund founded by the former Polychain partner Ryan Zurr), Fundamental Labs, FBG, Continue Capital, DeFi Alliance, and other well-known institutions.

YFDAI is an entire permission less DeFi ecosystem that combines Staking & Farming services and soon, Lending/Borrowing services, SafePredict, and Insurance together with their own DEX called SafeSwap and their own LaunchPad where legitimate projects in the DeFi space can launch their new vetted projects with contract audits, locked liquidity and locked dev tokens in time release smart contracts.  Whereas other DeFi protocols rely upon minting new tokens to sustain their staking and farming rewards, YFDAI has allocated tokens for these products which will be replenished with fees generated by the ecosystem. YFDAI also has a deflationary burn mechanism built into the platform that will ultimately reduce the total supply to just 13,950 tokens.

YFDAI’s mission is to clean up the DeFi space by de-risking the purchase of new projects by performing due diligence vetting and requiring adherence to the same protocols that YFDAI itself adhered to on their launch.  YFDAI’s motto is ‘no more exit scams or rug pulls.’

MIR is the governance token of Mirror Protocol, a synthetic assets protocol built by Terraform Labs (TFL) on the Terra blockchain.

Mirror Protocol is decentralized from day 1, with the on-chain treasury and code changes governed by holders of the MIR token. TFL has no intention of keeping or selling MIR tokens, and there are no admin keys or special access privileges granted. The intent for this is to be a completely decentralized, community-driven project.

Mirrored assets are blockchain tokens that behave like "mirror" versions of real-world assets by reflecting the exchange prices on-chain. They give traders the price exposure to real assets while enabling fractional ownership, open access and censorship resistance as any other cryptocurrency. Unlike traditional tokens which serve to represent a real, underlying asset, mAssets are purely synthetic and only capture the price movement of the corresponding asset.

Mirrored assets provide the following advantages:

Global Accessibility: In most markets outside of Europe & North America, access to foreign equities and forex markets is highly limited. Crypto allows global accessibility without entry barriers.

Fractional Orders: In traditional finance, to execute a fractional order, multiple fractional orders are bundled together to execute a unitary transaction. The process of gathering all the orders into one requires additional waiting time. By utilizing the blockchain, orders volume is simply represented as a number on the blockchain, so there is no need for the intermediary bundling process.

Nearly-Instantaneous Order Execution: Oftentimes due to the lack of liquidity (price-time-priority order book algorithm), orders can take up to a day to fully execute. Given the fact that Mirror relies on liquidity provided by each individual asset pool, orders can be executed as fast as the blocktime of the network (~ 6 seconds).

Alien Worlds (TLM) is a decentralized, non-fungible token (NFT) metaverse, where players compete for scarce resources, Trilium (TLM), in a stimulated economy centered around planetary worlds. Due to this, Alien Worlds also has a decentralized finance (DeFi) element to the game, as players advance by staking TLM and using TLM to vote in Planet Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs).

Play-to-earn (P2E) NFT games have seen an exponential rise in popularity and value this year. Alien Worlds allow the players, called “explorers” to earn monetary rewards through gameplay or participation in Planet DAOs. By mining in Alien Worlds, a user is rewarded with the native, in-game currency — Trilium (TLM) or NFT packs. Players can stake TLM to boost their rewards or battle with other users for NFTs.

To date, Alien Worlds has established a fair amount of its roadmap, having TLM on Binance launchpad and farming period of TLM on Binance Launchpool. A large portion of game developments have been forged as well. Moving forward, Alien Worlds aims to automate the claiming process of daily allocation to landowners in the game. Artifacts NFTs are soon to be released, and future plans include NFT interoperability.

Polkastarter is a decentralized fundraising platform empowering Web3 projects to launch and raise funds through multi-chain token pools whilst significantly growing their communities.

The platform supports initial dex offerings (IDOs) across major blockchains, including Ethereum, BNB Chain, Solana, Polkadot, Polygon, Avalanche and Celo.

The platform enables investors to secure early access to IDOs, NFTs and Gaming Web3 innovation. It is most commonly used by early-stage blockchain projects that want to raise capital and easily distribute their tokens at the same time.

Through Polkastarter, blockchain projects can easily create their own fixed-chain swap pools, which allow them to securely raise funds, while users can invest without risks, since swaps are automatically executed by smart contracts.

POLS is the native utility token of the Polkastarter platform. Its main utility is gaining access to pools and giving projects the option to give priority access to POLS holders. Users are incentivised to stake POLS, rewarding the most loyal members.

In Q4 2022, Polkastarter will release new community utility features, such as governance and POLS Power Boosters (increasing your allowlisting success). The platform first went live in December 2020, and has quickly grown to become one of the most commonly used platforms for initial DEX offerings (IDOs) operating on the Ethereum blockchain.
