The ultimate open source betting protocol.

PolyCash makes it easy to launch a digital currency with industry leading functionality. PolyCash is compatible with Bitcoin, Litecoin and others and each PolyCash-protocol currency inherits all the benefits of these blockchains while also supporting advanced functionality including P2P betting. PolyCash is a platform for stablecoins and these currencies can be pegged to dollars or bitcoins or can be backed by other sources of value like commodities and intellectual property.

PolyCash currencies are ideal for games and allow players to compete in daily fantasy sports, to bet on eSports, and more. The PolyCash protocol can also be used to issue stocks on the blockchain, to conduct votes, and for a wide variety of other applications.

PolyCash includes functionality for creating crypto gift cards. You can use PolyCash to create your own line of business cards with a small amount of bitcoin or altcoins on each card. Or create prepaid crypto cards tied to larger amounts of coins which can be sold for cash in person or at retail locations.
