Azuro

Azuro is a decentralized protocol for prediction markets that provides modular infrastructure and tooling for blockchains and prediction applications. Founded as "The Base Layer for Decentralized Prediction Markets," Azuro enables permissionless, non-custodial, and tamper-proof betting markets on EVM-compatible chains.

Core Products/Services

Azuro offers a comprehensive suite of developer tools and infrastructure:

• Azuro Protocol: Smart contract infrastructure powering decentralized prediction markets across multiple EVM chains including Gnosis, Polygon, Chiliz, and Arbitrum. The protocol uses a unique singleton liquidity pool model with vAMMs (virtual Automated Market Makers) and the proprietary LiquidityTree fund accounting system, enabling prediction markets to scale unconstrained up to the entire capacity of the pool.

• Developer SDK: JavaScript/TypeScript SDK (v6) providing React hooks and web components for rapid application development. Includes data hooks (useSports, useGames, useConditions), write hooks (useBet, useRedeemBet), and watch hooks (useOdds, useGameState) for real-time market data.

• Toolkit: NPM package (v5) with utilities for contract interaction, bet creation, odds calculation, cashout functionality, and freebet management. Provides functions like createBet, getComboBetTypedData, getMaxBet, and getPrecalculatedCashouts.

• GraphQL APIs: Subgraphs hosted on The Graph service (v4) for indexing and organizing on-chain data, covering smart contracts, sports entities, games, conditions, bets, and live betting markets.

• LiquidityTree: Novel "segment tree" approach for accounting liquidity additions/withdrawals and fair profit/loss distribution across markets, enabling unprecedented capital efficiency for prediction markets.

Key Strengths

• Singleton Liquidity Model: Unlike fragmented liquidity in orderbook-based prediction markets, Azuro's singleton LP model allows all markets to tap into the same deep liquidity pool, enabling better odds and lower spreads than traditional centralized sportsbooks.

• Plug-and-Play Integration: Applications can connect to Azuro's protocol with zero upfront costs, inheriting instant access to liquidity pools, oracle feeds, and thousands of betting markets. The ecosystem has powered 40+ live applications with $530M+ in volume.

• Multi-Chain Infrastructure: Designed for EVM compatibility, allowing blockchain networks to integrate prediction market functionality within approximately two weeks. Current deployments span multiple chains with smart contract addresses documented for each network.

• Decentralization & Security: Fully on-chain with audited smart contracts (audit reports available), permissionless access, non-custodial architecture, and DAO governance through AZUR token and AzuroDAO.

• Developer Experience: Comprehensive documentation (gem.azuro.org), example applications, social login integration for web2 users, freebet and cashout features, affiliate reward systems, and active Discord developer community.

Notable Clients/Projects

Azuro has powered an ecosystem of 40+ prediction market applications including Bookmaker.xyz (sports betting showcase with 4+ years on-chain) and Trendle (attention markets platform). The protocol has facilitated $530M+ in total volume with 34,000+ unique users and generated $4.5M+ in total revenue. The ecosystem benefits from network effects where each new application expands the platform and strengthens the token economy through revenue-driven buybacks.

Why Choose Azuro

For developers and protocols seeking to enter the prediction markets vertical, Azuro offers the fastest path to production with battle-tested infrastructure, deep liquidity, robust oracle feeds, and a thriving ecosystem. The protocol eliminates the need to build liquidity from scratch, manage complex market-making algorithms, or navigate regulatory compliance for centralized betting platforms. With comprehensive SDKs, APIs, and 24/7 community support, teams can launch fully-functional prediction applications in days rather than months while benefiting from Azuro's proven track record of $530M+ in transaction volume.
