PolyCash - Home

The ultimate peer-to-peer betting protocol.

PolyCash is software that allows anyone to launch a currency with industry-leading functionality. PolyCash-protocol currencies are called "layer 2" or "colored coins" because they use transactions and private keys from an underlying blockchain. PolyCash is compatible with many different blockchains, and you can launch a PolyCash-protocol currency on almost any blockchain derived from the Bitcoin source code, such as Bitcoin, Litecoin, Dogecoin or Datachain - a blockchain launched by the PolyCash team.

When launching a PolyCash currency, you can design your coin with features like:

Decentralized betting - Set up events that players can bet on. Unlike centralized bookmakers, there's no house and players maintain the private keys to their bets.
Synthetic assets - Create markets with contracts that mimic the value of other assets like foreign currencies or stocks.
Fair gamified inflation - Set an inflation rate and coinholders will see their coins grow over time.
Backed by real value - Back your coin with dollars, bitcoins or even other sources of value like gold or stocks.
Mining - You can design your coin to be given out to miners or not.
Configurable initial supply - Create a genesis transaction for your coin and specify how many coins are initially created.
Configurable betting fees - You can set a fee rate on betting events. Fees are burned, reducing the supply which can make the exchange rate go up for your currency.
Faucet - Automatically give out a small number of coins to your players at regular intervals by putting money into a faucet account.
Stablecoin functionality - Set up a coin with an exchange rate pegged to the dollar or other stable source of value. Then allow players to automatically buy in or sell out with bitcoins or other payment channels.
Virtual sports - For a fast and engaging betting experience, set up your coin with a theme like virtual basketball or virtual horse racing.
Gift cards - PolyCash includes a system for printing physical cards for your currency. Just upload your logo and choose how many coins should be on each card, then print the PDFs, cut up your cards and start selling or giving them out.

You can download PolyCash on your own computer and get in sync on as many peer-to-peer currencies as you want. This is called "self custody" because you will hold the only copy of your private keys. By installing a blockchain and PolyCash currency on your computer you can also participate in mining, a process where you can win coins by contributing your computing power to the network.

You can run your own node simply by installing Docker and then running an installation command as described in our README.

Football Cents 2025

Join the peer-to-peer football betting game and start wagering on upcoming football games.

This game runs on open source software and your footballcents and betting contracts are owned by private keys that you hold. Anyone can download and install this game on their own computer and get in sync with others on peer-to-peer games.

This game launched on Sept 1, 2025 with a supply of 100,000 footballcents backed by $100,000 dollars. Footballcents were initially worth a dollar each, but should slowly gain value relative to the dollar. Fees of 1% on every betting payout are destroyed, reducing the supply of footballcents as players bet on games.

All coin holders will be paid out at the end of the game upon conclusion of the Super Bowl on Feb 8, 2026.

You can buy footballcents from a node operator any time by depositing Bitcoin or Litecoin. And you can just as easily sell your footballcents by cashing out to Bitcoin or Litecoin. Or get in touch with other players if you want to deposit or receive dollars.

Decentralized betting has very low fees and these events have payouts on football games 5% higher than what’s offered by centralized bookmakers. Sign up now and receive a small quantity of footballcents from the faucet for free.
