The new firm has seed financing of $21m.
+
It aims to release a new open source software application platform, on which others can [innovate](https://bundas24.com/read-blog/180671_how-to-attract-users-to-my-fantasy-sports-platform.html) in [sports betting](https://chat.app8station.com/read-blog/3226_sweepstakes-casino-controversy-and-celebrities-039-all-important-role.html) wagering, in the first half of next year.

We will effectively complete against incumbents with a considerably exceptional item and low charges, which is now possible with the development of the blockchain innovation."
