3. 🔗 What blockchain(s) does SmartContractBets.XYZ support?
We currently support Azuro Protocol on the following chains:

4. 🧠 What are smart contract bets?
Smart contract bets are wagers that are automatically enforced by blockchain code. Once you place a bet:
- The odds are locked.
- The funds are stored in a smart contract.
- If your prediction is correct, the smart contract instantly pays out your winnings.
This eliminates delays, disputes, and centralized manipulation.
5. 🏦 Who holds the funds and settles the bets?
Nobody. Your funds go directly into a self-executing smart contract on the blockchain. Payouts are triggered automatically based on the outcome provided by trusted oracles used by the Azuro protocol.
There are no centralized bookies or custodians involved.
6. 📈 How are odds determined?
Odds on SmartContractBets.XYZ are dynamically managed by liquidity providers and algorithmic market makers participating in the Azuro ecosystem. This creates fair and competitive odds across thousands of markets.
