Positive Sum Liquidity Games
At the heart of ZionBets lies the Crash Liquidity Pool, a foundational component designed to empower participants with the opportunity to become Liquidity Providers (LPs). By stepping into the role of an LP, individuals mint LP shares that represent their stake within the Zion Bets house. These LP shares are a gateway to a continuous revenue stream, fueled by players of the game. The act of providing liquidity is a direct contribution towards enhancing the decentralization and strengthening the robustness of the Zion Bets protocol. Initially, participants supply funds to the liquidity pool and are rewarded with LP shares in return. These shares appreciate in conjunction with the house's increasing profits. This dynamic ensures that when LPs decide to exit, they can burn their shares to withdraw their initial stake along with accrued profits, reflecting the yield on their investment.
The concept of Positive Sum Liquidity Games underscores the advantageous position of being an LP in a platform like Zion Bets. While it's true that the nature of gambling games means there will be instances where users win big—resulting in temporary losses for the LP—the overarching model is designed for long-term profitability for liquidity providers. This is because, statistically, the house (and by extension, the LPs) is favored to accumulate revenue over time from the random outcomes of gambling games. The system is structured such that, with a consistent user base engaging in the game, the liquidity pool is expected to grow, benefiting LPs. This model not only incentivizes participation by promising potential profits but also ensures the sustainability, creating a win-win scenario for both the platform and its liquidity providers.
Unpacking Zion's On-Chain Randomness
Zion Bets offers a unique gaming experience centered around the concept of a crash point, which determines the outcome of each round. Players engage by placing bets and must decide when to cash out as the game's multiplier increases, all before the crash point occurs. Our platform leverages Aptos to ensure precision and fairness in every game.
Very nice example of how the unique Aptos on-chain randomness can be generated at the start of a game, but hidden until the appropriate reveal time of the game. Super smooth and super fun. Game changing for verifiable fairness and fun!

The foundation of Zion Bets is a sophisticated algorithm designed to calculate the crash point. This process involves generating a unique combination of a secret and a salt for each round, which are then hashed to produce the crash point. To provide fairness and security, we employ a dual verification system where both a server and a smart contract independently verify the crash point calculation. This approach enhances the game's security so that no one can see the randomly generated crash point on-chain.
The crash point, while predetermined at the start of each game, is encrypted and hidden, ensuring the outcome remains unknown until it's revealed.
What Makes Zion Bets Unique?
Zion Bets is going to revolutionize the GambleFi space within the Move ecosystem by offering a seamless UX. Users can login with a simple email or SMS authentication process, bypassing the need for an Aptos wallet while still maintaining control over their private keys and avoiding KYC. This approach not only simplifies the onboarding process but also opens the doors to a broader audience of non-crypto natives. By focusing on the mobile experience, Zion Bets prioritizes bridging the gap between Web2 and Web3. Our sleek, intuitive interface is evident in our choice to feature Crash as our flagship game—a straightforward yet thrilling game that promises fast wins without the childish traditional casino offerings.
Zion Bets is not just another gambling app, it's a gateway to a new breed of entertainment that resonates with a younger, more sophisticated user seeking quick money duplication glitches. By perfecting our UI/UX, we aim to capture a significant share of the GambleFi market, allowing us to then experiment with more innovative games.
