TokenRoll (TKR) Platform Will Take Online Casinos to the Next Level

Published

TokenRoll

Corporate executives are turning to blockchain technology more than ever in an attempt to revolutionize the business world.  Although blockchain is still a relatively new concept, that hasn’t stopped more and more companies from jumping on the bandwagon.  This hot new technology has quickly gained a reputation for providing greater transparency, enhanced security, improved traceability, increased efficiency, and low costs.  One industry that could certainly benefit from decentralization is the online gambling market, specifically, online casinos.  TokenRoll (TKR) has developed a platform that appears to offer a promising alternative to centralized casinos.

Problems with Centralized Casinos

The primary reason why blockchain technology is being implemented so quickly is because it solves a lot of the problems typically associated with the traditional business model.  And online casinos are no different.  It still needs to be said that centralized casinos have proven that there is a great demand for online gambling.  The market is growing faster than anyone could have predicted, and future opportunities appear very promising and lucrative.  But industries are continually evolving and this one is no different.

A few of the problems facing centralized casinos include the following:

  • Little to no transparency
  • Consumer lack of confidence
  • Privacy concerns
  • 48-72 hour wait time for withdrawals

These are four monumental issues that need to be addressed quickly given the global growth of the market.  Casinos need to be fully transparent, fair, offer instant payouts, and eliminate the sharing of personal data.  The last point is especially important as we’ve seen privacy issues plague some of the world’s leading corporations such as Facebook and 23andMe.  The hope is that by decentralizing casinos, the aforementioned problems of centralized casinos will be eliminated.  The TokenRoll platform aims to be one of the first to offer to a better solution.

Lack of Decentralized Options

Although decentralization is a step in the right direction, the advanced features and potential are not yet fully understood.  And, businesses are hesitant to rush implementation as that may result in less than desirable outcomes.  The cautious approach to implementation has to do with the lack of technical knowledge, the scarcity of engineers working on system decentralization, and a crypto market still at the very beginning of the technology life cycle adoption curve.

A second issue with decentralization is that all information regarding wagers, cash flow, and data will be permanently stored within the blocks.  Customers that sign up and gamble through decentralized casinos need to be made aware of that and agree to the terms.

Lastly, another potential stumbling block has to do with global government attitudes toward decentralization.  As we all know, governments like to be fully in control of everything, even if it’s against the interest of their citizens.  Blockchain technology, cryptocurrency, and decentralization are commonly seen as a tool for the black market.  Therefore, protocols that are introduced should always adhere to the highest forms of ethical behavior.

TokenRoll Protocol has the Solution

TokenRoll Protocol will be a decentralized gambling protocol that runs on Tron (TRX).  The protocol will enable gamblers to bet on smart contracts using the USD Stable Token and Tron coin.  A great piece of news for users is that they won’t have to interact with the blockchain.  Instead, the TokenRoll platform will serve as the interface for the protocol.  In this way, users can focus on gambling, having fun, and (hopefully) winning money.

The company’s current projection (according to the roadmap) is for the beta release to take place in June 2019 with one game.  After that, the company will be working on a beta for Android and iOS, additional games, and making the platform fully-functional.

In the meantime, the company is attempting to raise funds in order to help fund business operations.  In the current market, the most typical ways to raise funds are through an ICO or IEO.  TokenRoll has chosen the traditional route of an ICO, and, in fact, that sale has already begun.  The budget distribution will be approximately as follows:

  • 40% for Bankroll
  • 30% for Platform Development
  • 20% for Marketing
  • 10% as a reserve to fund black swan events

Conclusion

The online gambling market is growing at an unprecedented level and decentralization will be needed to help deal with the new customers and all the problems that come with rapid growth.  Although decentralization hasn’t yet been perfected, it’s nice to see TokenRoll lead the way toward implementing revolutionary technology in an efficient, honest, and thoughtful manner.

Solana Price Surges Beyond $100, Dethroning Ripple and BNB To Secure Fourth Place

Published

on

By

Solana price performance in recent times has been remarkable, surpassing Ripple and Binance Coin to become the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap. The SOL price breached the critical level of $100 for the first time since April 2022 over the weekend to imbue optimism among investors. However, the altcoin has corrected by 7%, suggesting that the market is overheated. At the time of writing, the ‘Ethereum killer’ was trading slightly lower at $111.60.

SOL Outlook

Solana price has made a significant recovery over the past few weeks, climbing above the psychological level of $100. The altcoin has been one of the best-performing assets this year, extending its year-to-date gains to more than 1,025%, with more gains recorded in the past month alone. However, even with such growth, analysts have noted that Solana has a bleak chance of topping its ATH of $260.

The reason behind this is the increase in supply relative to its value. In November 2021, when the Solana price hit its all-time high of $260, its total market capitalization was around $78 billion. Despite the value of the crypto asset being less than half of what it was at the top, its market cap is currently hovering near $50 billion.

This has been brought about by the increase in the Solana supply by more than 100 million SOL over the past two years. According to some analysts, for the altcoin to retest $260, its…

Solana Price Skyrockets to 20-Month Peak Amidst Memecoin Frenzy

Published

on

By

Solana price has noted significant gains over the past few weeks, climbing to its highest level since April 2022. The ‘Ethereum Killer’ almost topped the crucial level of $100 on Friday, before pulling back slightly. The asset’s recent surge has catapulted Solana’s total market cap to $39.6 billion, ranking 5th after and above BNB and XRP, respectively. Solana has jumped by more than 22% in the past week and more than 80% in the month to date. At the time of writing, SOL price was trading 0.90% lower at $93.10.

Catalysts Behind SOL’s Rally

Solana price has been on a strong bull run over the past few days, rocketing to its highest level in 20 months as the network benefits from the substantial activity and strong interest in memecoins. The SOL token, the native digital asset of the high-performance blockchain platform Solana, has shown some serious strength over the past few weeks, outperforming all the altcoins in the market.

The recent surge in the Solana price has been linked to heightened on-chain activities on the Solana blockchain. Notably, the ongoing hype for the blockchain’s speedy transactions, cheap fees, and a lottery of meme coin issuances has buoyed SOL’s on-chain activity. Metrics have revealed that Solana has been the strongest draw among on-chain traders, with trading volumes and network fees outperforming Ethereum- the largest altcoin by market cap.

Solana Price Breaches $60 Amid a Symphony of Bullish Indicators

Published

By

Solana price has jumped more than 8% over the past week, breaching the important level of $60. At the time of writing, Solana was trading 3% higher at $61.07. The asset’s total market cap has climbed to $25.9 billion over the past week, ranking it the 6th largest cryptocurrency after XRP. The total volume of SOL traded over the last day has declined by 8%.

SOL’s Bullish Cues

Solana’s price has been among the best-performing cryptocurrencies this year amid continuous growth. The “Ethereum killer” has consistently impressed investors throughout the year on the back of a resurgence in bullishness, which saw SOL’s price climb more than 513% in the year to date. Institutional investors have also shared the bullish sentiment, making Solana their most preferred altcoin.

In the week ending November 24, Solana recorded inflows worth nearly $3.5 million, significantly more than the other altcoins’ inflows combined. The asset’s monthly inflows were higher at $40.2 million, lower than Ethereum’s $99.6 million inflows in the same period. Other altcoins, including Litecoin and Ethereum, noted significant outflows, making Solana nearly half of the home for DeFi. This implies that when it comes to institutions, Solana is currently the best-performing altcoin with the potential of a long-term rally much higher than other digital assets.

Notably, the Solana DeFi ecosystem accomplished a significant milestone earlier this week. Its Total Value Locked (TVL) hit a new yearly peak of over $655 million,…
