# About Us Degengamble.xyz was born out of a simple yet persistent problem: bets made between friends that never materialize into actual payments. The founders often placed bets on everything from who would become the next U.S. President to who could drink the most beer pints in one evening. However, no matter who won, the bet would rarely be honored. This frustration led to the creation of Degengamble.xyz—a platform that ensures every bet is meaningful and every winner gets paid. Our team consists of tech-savvy individuals who met while working at various IT agencies. As a collective, we share a passion for technology and innovation. Whether or not the team will ever disclose their identities is a decision we leave up to our community. Once the platform reaches a significant user base, we plan to hold a poll to let the community decide if the founders should reveal themselves. At Degengamble.xyz, we value transparency above all else. Built on the blockchain, our platform ensures that every transaction is visible and verifiable. We are also driven by the community and the P2P nature of our bets, putting the power back into the hands of the users. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
