Hello steemian .., this time I will review about APO project (Advance Parimutuel Options), hopefully this review useful.
APO Finance - financial market for reverse tote.
A tote is a betting system in which all bets of a certain kind are placed in the pool and the winnings are calculated taking into account that this pool will be distributed among the winning bets. The comparative method of the tote has several unique properties that distinguish it from the traditional method of matching buyers with sellers (a dual auction system).
The reverse tote model differs from the standard totalizator model by setting a fixed win amount at the time of sale. Here are some of its key advantages:
It does not require a comparison of the buyer with the seller in order for the trading transaction to take place. In fact, a reverse tote comparison can generate trading transactions only with option buyers;
Produces lower price options;
Ensures that all participants' payments fall into a common pool (and provides a way to monitor this pool);
Does not require a pledge, margin or initial deposit;
Provides decentralization of the trading system;
In the future, the team plans to split the option contract into subcomponents (elementary statements) to allow the participant to trade both the whole option and the individual components of the option.
Trading platform APO
The APO option trading platform is a set of applications for iOS, Android, and networks that connect through an authentication server to a decentralized application on the Ethereum network.
Mediation servers play the role of serving servers, implementing the functions of user authentication servers, API for mobile applications and database servers for storing secondary information. The central part of the APO platform is a smart contract in the network Ethereum. Among its main functions are:
Guarantee of participants protection
Conducting auctions
Acceptance and storage of premiums before their expiration date
Maintaining the list of options owners
Execution of payments at the time of expiration
Collect commission for operations
The function of APO Finance is to develop and maintain a platform, providing ongoing maintenance and upgrading. This platform does not play a role in providing funds, which distinguishes it from centralized exchanges, in which case the fall of the exchange entails a failure to fulfill obligations with respect to the participants.
Trading operations on the platform have the following differences from the operations of centralized exchanges:
There is no difference between the price (the rate) of the seller and the buyer, in connection with the fact of the lack of sellers.
There is no risk of the stock market falling, since the common pool is located in the Ethereum network and exact payments are calculated during the auction in any situations.
Purchases of new options can be made only during the auction. The trading process is divided into two stages - auction and expiration. Each step is described in detail in the following sections.

Dividends
Payment of dividends to holders of tokens is one of the types of encouragement for investors. Payments will be pledged when an auction containing a smart contract is issued. Once a month, the contract will register a list of tokens holders, and each token holder will receive its share of the commission from the Monetary Fund. The "Monetary Fund" is stored in the Ethereum network, where tokens are located when the list is registered. All data on the holders of tokens and the amounts of payments will be published on the platform's website.
