Asura Coin - The Ultimate eSports Ecosystem powered by NEO

Whether you're a NEO or eSport lover, you're going to love this revolutionary ICO. Asura aims to build a self-sustaining eSports Ecosystem used for betting, tournament live streaming, match making, and more.

The Targeted Market

First, I would like to say, I am a gamer myself. As of recently, I haven't been streaming very much in general, I have in the past on dLive here. I spend hours every day grinding in competitive games on my computer and Nintendo Switch. I prefer playing with my teams. I also spend much of time viewing streamers on Twitch.

In fact, Twitch has 15 million daily active users, who each consume an average of over 100 minutes of content daily. That may seem far stretched, but I can assure that the metric is definitely accurate from my observations and personal experience. If you have ever watched a very popular streamer or entertainer on Twitch, you'll see the notifications of all the donations, subscriptions, and other forms of monetization. The gaming community has made eSports, Streamers, and others a dedicated part of their life and want to spend their money on supporting these events.

Repeatedly, I've listened to competitive gamers complain about about not being able to bet on their favorite teams during tournaments. There isn't a platform designed as a global and easy to use betting place for eSports, nor an inclusive ecosystem that would accompany the gamer's and viewer's needs.

Meet Asura Coin

Asura World is a self-sustainable eSports platform, which puts the community ecosystem as a whole as a primary, this in tune creates an ecosystem that will be self-regulated & self-evolving to new possibilities.

eSports Betting & Tournament Live Stream

As mentioned before, there is a need for eSports betting. Most kids do not have access to the various means of eSports betting. There's also a lack of a global platform specifically designed for betting. Without blockchain technology, betting can be a nightmare when funds can be withheld, fees can be charged, and other similar problems. Most betting platforms out there don't include the tournament live stream.

Asura takes eSports betting to the next level. Bets can be made on a player's gamestyle, outcomes, and other various occurrences in the game. This would allow for betting to become more casual and more rewarding instead of the usual Twitch donator. Along with various betting systems, Asura will also allow for the community to create their own bets and earn Asura Coins for being chosen.

Professional Guides

As the ultimate eSports ecosystem, Asura will recruit top players and award them for creating in depth guides for other gamers. Gamers will have access to these in depth guides from the Asura platforms, along with tournament streams and play backs of tournament streams.

Community Matchmaking

Of course, there are tons of competitive players that want to continue practicing for upcoming tournaments, but have trouble finding others to play with. Searching through discord servers, outdated forums, and other means of finding available players is inconvenient. Through community matchmaking, users can create their own matches and bet stakes. Through the use of smart contracts, transparency and trust can be built on top of a reduced cost.

The Community Center

The community center is the place for gamers to be social without having to resort to other platforms. News, game play, matches, tournaments, stories, and other topics can be discussed using the Asura platform. Arcade mechanisms and other events will be included as well for the gamer's experience.

An Incentivised Ecosystem

Gamers can earn ASA tokens by winning bets obviously, but in other ways as well. Those include hosting tournaments, creating quality content guides, helping other members through the community center or streams, winning match making, and by participating in monthly Asura World events.

A Referral Program that will grow the Asura Platform

Each member will receive a unique referral link that will allow them to invite other gamers to the platform. Once a referral link is used, the person who invited the user will receive ASA tokens as well as the newly joined user. This will increase the exposure significantly and efficiently.

Why NEO?

According to Ethereum, they want to "build a more globally accessible, more free and more trustworthy Internet". This is different from NEO's objective. They aim to build a new smart economy entirely.

I could talk more about the differences between ETH and NEO, but a major benefit of using NEO is that the fees are much cheaper. ETH is also facing scalability problems, while NEO is clear of that major problem.

Despite ETH's popularity, NEO also aligns with the Asura vision, a strong sense of unity within the community, co-operative growth, and an extremely fast supporting response rate. When thinking about the long term development, in 2–3 years down the road, NEO will be vastly different from competitors such as Ethereum, and at that time, the benefits of NEO to Asura World would be extremely prominent. That's why NEO was chosen over other competitors.
