Mitchell

Revolutionizing the Sports Betting Space

Mitchell Chun is not less than a champion when it comes to pursuing his dream to build a business. With over two decades of professional experience, particularly in sports media technology, Chun absolutely played it smart when he combined his passion and expertise in sports tech with blockchain to launch BLOK SPORTS, a sports betting platform leveraging blockchain technology to provide a trusted and secure player experience.

Sports Betting: direct, reliable and secure

The story began when Chun was deep in the blockchain NFT games space back in 2018 as a strategy consultant for the world’s largest virtual items marketplaces. At the time, he realized that blockchain, despite its shortcomings then, was an ideal technology to solve a host of issues plaguing the sports betting space. When PASPA (the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act) was repealed in mid-2018, opening up the US market to regulated sports betting, Chun introduced the BLOK SPORTS platform. “We’ve designed a decentralized sports betting exchange allowing our players (in authorized markets) to bet their friends or anyone else directly, securely, and reliably, without the involvement of the house or middleman,” says Chun.

Blockchain is one of the recently emerging technologies opted by a number of folks. But the reach of blockchain connection is still limited due to lack of knowledge about the technology, it uses, benefits, etc. There are a number of facts related to blockchain and it is necessary to know everything about this technology before you become a member of this digital platform.

Everything you need to know about blockchain technology

If you are closely related to banking and finance, then you might have come across a word blockchain in the recent decade. Most of the folks get confused with its functioning when they try to take out a literal meaning out of the name blockchain, but here the name block refers to the digital data and the chain refers to the storage of information in public database. In finance terms it is decentralized, distributed, public ledger. These complex words make the technology intricate for common folks but it can be simply explained with the help of an example of Google document. When you create a Google document you don’t copy or transfer the information, instead keep it decentralized and distributed so allowed folks can access it from anywhere.

Likely, blockchain is a piece of digital information with three distinguished parts which includes:

  • Information about the transactions made, like amount in dollar, date, time
  • Along with your transaction details, blockchain also keep a record of all other participants involved in that transaction
