Byteball
Smart payments made simple

Read the whitepaper

Byteball enables trust where trust couldn’t exist before.
When a contract is created on Byteball platform, it can be trusted to work exactly as agreed upon. Why? Because it is validated by multiple nodes on the decentralized network, which all follow the same immutable rules. The counterparty, even if it is a total stranger, has to behave honestly because only the rules have authority. Such a contract is called a smart contract. See below for examples of working smart contracts available today.




Why use Byteball?



Risk-free conditional smart payments

Byteball allows you to do something that traditional currencies can't: conditional payments.
You set a condition when the payee receives the money. If the condition is not met, you get your money back.







P2P insurance

Hedge against negative events.
Buy insurance from peers to get paid in case a negative event occurs. Sell insurance for profit.
Insurance is just a simple smart contract that can be unlocked by the insured — if the event in question did occur, or by the insurer — otherwise.
To insure against flight delay, find your counterpart in #p2p_insurance channel on our Slack, create a contract, and if your flight arrives late, chat with flight delays oracle to have it post the data about the delay, then unlock the contract.







Prediction markets

Make money by correctly predicting future events.
Create a P2P smart contract that can be unlocked if a specific event occurs. Use it for betting on price movements, sports betting, and insurance.
Find your counterpart in #prediction_markets channel on our Slack.







P2P betting

Bet against other users on sports events.
Find your counterpart in #prediction_markets channel on our Slack and create a contract that can be unlocked by you or your peer depending on the results of a future game.
After the result is known, chat with sports oracle to have it post the data about the outcome, then unlock the contract.







Textcoins

Send cryptocurrency to email or via chat.
The sender just writes an email address where he would normally write a Byteball address. The recipient just clicks a link received in email or chat. If the recipient is not in Byteball yet, he will be prompted to install the wallet. On Android, the install is started automatically. Learn more.
