- Competitions must be able to have at least 2 options for a “win” scenario. (IE. most/least XYZ)
- Must be able to create public and private competitions
- Must be able to specify a time frame for length of competition
- Must track winnings of all participating users and payout prize pool when competition is complete.
- Must interact with at least 2 third party game APIs and games must include at least 2 of the following platforms:
- Playstation Games
- XboX Games
- Steam Games
Deliverable : Functioning smart contract or service running on the DERO blockchain.
