I've developed a number of smart contracts over the years with Ethereum. However, I have reflected that many of the use-cases for smart contracts are simply not feasible due to the
memory costs of Ethereum. For instance, I wanted to develop my wagering platform as an ETH smart contract. But I can't, and here's why:
- Each contest should be stored in contract. with the odds. Odds updates very frequently. Say the NBA games just (one contest), have the Point spread, totals and money line along with another 80+ or so alternate odds and prop bets.
- each of those data points would need to be stored as I would like to settle the contract in real time.
So, does anyone have any good ideas how to handle this type of scenario, with the volumes a modern sports wagering company would need? Also, if the players want in-game betting, the data points updates would need to
be at the magnitude of several 1000 updates per minute.
