What is Thales?How does it Works?

The Thales protocol is an Ethereum-based peer-to-peer parimutuel market protocol, which is open to all participants. Building blocks like this are the foundation of a number of novel on-chain initiatives, including positional market platforms based on AMMs, gamified experiences, and much more. With Thales, users have access to uncensorable sUSD as collateral, immutable chainlink data feeds for market settlement, and all the benefits of an Optimism-centric network, such as speed, costs, and security.

How Do Overtime Markets Work?

Ultimately, Overtime Markets is the first permissionless AMM based on the Thales Protocol. Thales Protocol is an elegant and novel core design on which Overtime Markets is built.  On the Optimism network, Thales protocol is currently operating. As a fully on-chain sports AMM, Overtime markets offers Chainlink sport feeds that allow users to bet on Soccer, Football, MMA, and Baseball. The Thales markets have generated millions of dollars in volume through their immutable smart contracts, which are completely decentralized and  controlled.Through Overtime, communities can trade sports without relying on centralized entities for exchange of goods and services.  There are four stablecoins supported by Overtime: sUSD, USDT, USDC, and DAI.

With Overtime, you are not only bringing the game to blockchain, you are doing so with some of the best odds available across all sportsbooks, not just cryptocurrency ones. This odds are provided by Pinnacle Sportsbook, a highly regarded bookmaker that has a customer base in over 100 countries. In 1998, Pinnacle was founded and is considered one of the most reputable sportsbooks on the internet.By using Chainlink data feeds, Overtime receives these odds in real-time and uses them to price their positional tokens for each market.  There is one update for each game every six hours, except on game days when it is updated hourly.

Overtime Markets: Users and Volume 

This section displays Overtime Market’s daily users and volume for the past two weeks.  Based on the number of users and volume, the graphs below show Overtime Markets’ performance over the past two weeks.  

A total of 969 users were active between August 11, 2022 and August 25, 2022. The maximum number of users was 136 on August 21, 2022. Initially, there were more than 50 users. There was decrease of less than 50 for a couple of days. Suddenly, from August 19 2022 onward, the number of users almost doubled. There we can see the total users on Aug 23,2022 are lower than normal.

Total transactions between August 11, 2022 and August 25, 2022 were 2.12K.  A maximum of 261 transactions were observed on August 13, 2022, and a minimum of 78 transactions were observed on August 16, 2022.  The number of transactions increased from August 11, 2022 to August 25, 2022.

Overtime’s Odds : In order to price their positional tokens for each market, Overtime receives these odds through Chainlink data feeds on-chain. Dollars of potential profit are priced based on implied win probability instead of percentages. Based on Pinnacle’s data, we can assume that the implied win probability of a Home win is 45% if it has a price of 0.45 per $1 of potential profit. There are different kinds of odds,

  • An implied probability of success expressed as a decimal of one is called a Normalized Implied Odds (NIO). The odds will always add up to 1 in this format when pricing a single positional token (unless no liquidity is available for that position, in which case the odds will display as 0).
  • If a position of 1 dollar is successful, Decimal Odds displays the payoff amount.

As a result of the multiple odds format being enabled on Aug 11th 2022, we can see that the volume has been increasing since Aug 11th and spiking maximum on Aug 14th 2022. From the below tweet we can see ,

The overall volume between August 11, 2022 and August 25, 2022 was 252.52K.  A maximum volume of 70.12K was observed on August 14, 2022, and a minimum volume of 2.01K was observed on August 16, 2022. There is a downward trend in the total volume. August 14, 2022 had a higher total volume than usual.
