Decentralized live stream bets and interactions




We are proud, and excited, to present Gimli to the community.


The concept:
Gimli is a decentralized platform for eSport streamers and viewers. Streamers can turn viewers into engaged supporters by organizing bets, votes, asking for donations, and creating prize pools for tournaments using the ERC20 Ethereum token GIM. Interact with our betting and voting smart contracts here.
Gimli is provably fair, all functionalities are Ethereum smart contracts tailor made for streamers and stream viewers.
Gimli empowers streamers by enabling them to connect directly with their audience, increase and control novel revenue opportunities.


The team: 20+ people strong, including
- Pro gamers: Luffy - street fighter IV world champion , Stefano - Starcraft 2 foreigner world champion
- Streamers: Thud - CEO ASUS ROG school, Skyyart, Aypierre, Sean Gares, and many more
- Partnership with Mockit!
https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/1*KUWdQQA-TlUAH9QVeNivmQ.jpeg

- Blockchain experts: Eddy Travia, CEO of Coinsilium, Dr Moe Levin, CEO of Keynote, Mike Costache, from the Blockchain Investors Consortium, and more!
- Technology: Ouziel Slama, former lead developer of Counterparty, Joseph Fiscella who co-founded the Alexandria project, and our CEO Julien, who did the Consensys program
- Legal: Joseph Borg, Senior Advisor to WH Partners, practicing mainly in the areas of Gaming, Blockchain, Esports, and more, and lectures Gaming Law at the University of Malta.
- Business: cool and experienced team (some Columbia, Harvard, Polytechnique), and real eSports fans


Created by industry insiders and world top professional gamers, Gimli is developing a strong public image in the streamers and gamers community.


Why is Gimli relevant:

Streamers have massive audience in the hundreds of millions globally. Yet, streamers monetization of their viewers is low.
- Ads-blockers are widespread, limiting advertising revenue.
- Subscription fees are low compared with traditional sports, with streaming platforms taking a considerable share.
- Sponsorships are few in a developing industry.
- Viewership drops dramatically after each game ends, with volatile audience going to other channels with ongoing entertainment.

Gimli fits in alongside current monetization methods. With Gimli, streamers can create entertainments and functionalities with GIM embedded commissions. From the substantial source of direct GIM revenues, to better engagement, higher number of minutes watched and increased donations, Gimli’s promise is to give control back to streamers.


Partners and adoption:
Existing streaming partners with more than one million twitter followers. Streamers set up functionalities and GIM they want to receive when their audience use Gimli on their stream. Thanks to those partnerships and active backing by renowned streamers, Gimli will be promoted to millions of viewers and prospective users worldwide, with the goal of viral and exponential adoption.


The GIM Token:
GIM tokens are required to run all functionalities including donations, votes, bets and custom contracts. Each functionality is a run by a trustless Ethereum smart contracts tailor-made for streamers.
No token creation will happen after the initial sale ends. The total supply of GIM is
fixed at 150 million tokens.
Tokens are ERC20 compliant and will be transferable and listed on exchanges once the
initial sale is completed.
We have reached deals with the following exchanges: HitBTC, Gatecoin, Etherdelta, and we are working on more!

I've been a fan of eSports specially in Dota 2. But i am confused. Your ANN states that project will be a Decentralized live stream, but on the whitepaper, it says a Decentralized Betting System. So this is Twitch + E-Gaming Bets combined? Will there be any escrow for this?

If there is unsold 70m GIM, how can we make sure you guys regulate these? Isn't burning a good option? Or a fix amount/percentage? Because if there are few sold tokens, i will be worried because you hold over 70% of the total supply.

Hi,

It sounds great.
I wish you good luck.

However, how are you going to attract streamers?
What is the interest for them to use the gimli platform?

Thank you.

Streamers have very large audience but the revenues they get from them is relatively low. An interesting statistic is:
in traditional sports, in the US, the average yearly revenue per fan is $52
in eSports, it's $2.
This will change of course as the industry evolves but monetization is definitely low.
One issue is ads-blockers, another is fierce competition between streaming channels: as soon as a game is over many viewers will leave to watch another channel.
So to answer your question, streamers (several of whom are part of the team btw) need a way to entertain their audience between games, make it more sticky. Gimli will help them do just that. They will also get the GIM commissions they set up for each functionality on their channel. In terms of potential revenues this opens up a whole new monetization vertical

We are an stream interaction platform, we do not plan on hosting streams. The escrow for betting will be handled by smart contracts.

That's a point that's currently heavily debated internally and will be updated shortly. We will not end up like BAT Smiley Burning is definitely a good option, but it will also give the team a disproportionate amount of tokens. Distributing all the tokens to the fraction of everyone's contribution would be the answer but we want to prevent whales as much as we can to enhance distribution of the sale.

The duration of the sale seems quite short compared to other ICOs.
Why have you chosen 7 days?

Great! Are you going to develop an Add-On for google chrome? Let's say i use twitch, having gimli as my Browser Add-on is a good idea. I've seen one  preview from your project that is in the right of the screen of Twitch. I believe this is an Add-On.

GIMLY, are you sure, using some kind of movie character as your coin name, that is nice move but, something like this usually will not last long.
But I hope i'm wrong.
Good luck with it Cheesy
