What is Hero?

HERO radically changes todays centralized way of online betting. The token enables you to join or create games on the ethereum blockchain.

The design of HERO enforces active and passive income streams for all participants in the ecosystem. This transparent and decentralized way of betting breaks the traditional "the house always wins" paradigm.

With HERO the community always wins.

The Challenge

The online betting industry has suffered from a lack of innovation for years. Over time, player conditions constantly worsened: Fees have increased, odds are in favour of the bookmaker and regularly winning players are banned.

With traditional betting "the house always wins".

How HERO Works

The HERO ecosystem consists of game creators and players. Everyone is able to participate by simply joining or creating games. The whole community benefits from a growing activity as every HERO token holder is ensured to receive a general reward of all played games. Additionally, those who take the effort to create games receive a provider reward.
