According to February Forbes report, a 38% increase revenue of esports industry is predicted. League of Legends’ 2017 World Championship finals increased twice its viewers. Nevertheless the sports can’t stay without betting opportunities. And here is a project of such eSports betting platform based on blockchain technology.

What is Asura about?

Asura is NEO's first sustainable esports platform. In short, the platform will provide community forum, esports prediction (betting functions) and many more use cases down the track.

There are several projects trying to do something similar. So, what elements are unique about Asura?

Asura World is a congregation of eSporting tools and services all interconnected by smart contracts.
If you don't look at the specifics of the mechanisms, the biggest difference is the shear amount of smart contracts, the platform operates on a self-regulating basis.
If you include mechanism specifics, then Asura offer a more complete and comprehensive platform for users. Removing the need of a middle man for literally everything, streamlining complexity into simplicity.
Lastly the functions of Asura World, the biggest differences against competing platforms is its unique betting system and tournament hosting system.
The tournament hosting system is customised by the skills of Perfect World's tournament organisation. And the unique betting system allows users to truly bet on what they want to bet, both preset betting and live betting.

However according to Asura team the biggest difference of Asura World and competitors is how everything within the platform is connected, tokens flow through the platform fueling different parts of the platform and they in tune are recycled through the platform allowing users to earn them, these tokens Asura World will never touch. This allows the platform to continously self-evolve accordingly to the community's wishes

Any reason why the project is named Asura?

Asura team was also looking at providing live streams on games similar to twitch. The name 'Asura' came from a childhood game that ASURA CEO, Peter Shen use to play.

Why do Asura choose NEO as blockchain ?

Aside from the technical advantages NEO publically declare. It's simply because NEO's ethics fall in place with Asura Team's ethics. Asura World seeks to solve community issues backed by technical advantages, Asura prioritize community. And NEO is community focused and community driven.

What are the primary functions of the Asura Coin in the Asura World platform

The Asura Coin is a utility token for users to use within the Asura World super platform.
With the coin, users are able to participate in:

1. unique custom betting platform where bets can be created by users.
2. Hosting tournaments on our dedicated servers. Later on, even having the ability to brand their own tournaments later on.
3. Participate in matchmaking against other users in the community via game api, matched with players of similar calibre.
4. Learn and indeph high quality video coaching guides of users' specific choosing. Pay for only what you need. And once paid for, forever unlocked.
5. Participate in monthly events hosted in the community center, participate in tournaments hosted by other users as a competitor

Are Asura tokens PoS or PoW?

Asura runs on NEO and ASA is not mineable but can be earned in many ways on the Asura World platform.

What will happen to unsold tokens?

Any unsold tokens will be locked for 12 months and added to the betting pool.
The reason Asura team don't burn it is because although it would deem beneficial for investors on the short run. It's bad for the platform in the future. And Asura team want to run this project into the far future.
