It’s been quite a year since we began our journey at Stox. From one of the most successful ICOs, we’ve hosted more than half a million predictions, grown by an average of 550 users per day, partnered with 50 ICOs, traded predictions worth 210 million STX, and continuously developed our platform for users.

Whilst a lot has changed, we believe that we’ve remained true to our vision ever since we began: to change the way predictions are conducted so that the player, instead of the house, always wins. Having done so, our community has helped redefine the way that predictions are conducted in a global decentralized economy.

Last month, we delivered on one of our biggest promises since our ICO launch: the hosting of our World Cup Prediction Tournament.

One lucky user received $100,000 by predicting the precise minute of the first goal during the Final World Cup match between France and Croatia.

We quickly built upon the momentum of our World Cup Tournament with our Wimbledon Tournament, which offered over 500 prizes in cryptocurrency tokens, worth over $75,000. In addition to all of these successes, we launched our official mobile app on GooglePlay.

Crypto enthusiasts and newcomers alike were able to join the blockchain revolution and earn significant profits in our risk-free environment. Our prize pools have given Stox platform users the ability to build their own cryptocurrency portfolios, create their own predictions and win real tokens by making correct predictions on a variety of topics, including sports, finance, tech, politics, crypto and more.

The ICO Was Just The Beginning

On July 22nd 2017, Stox launched its ICO as we began our journey in the blockchain industry. Founded by ambitious, key industry players in high tech and finance, and backed by a powerful team of advisors, we were able to launch our ICO and hit our hardcap of 148,000 ETH in only 34 hours. The Stox ICO was the 7th top leading ICO of 2017, and we are proud of that milestone.

After our highly successful ICO, we kick-started the business alongside our community and we knew that there was a lot more yet to achieve; this was just the beginning.

Delivering On Our Promises

As the world of prediction markets is rapidly becoming crowded, Stox has consistently listened to its community and worked tirelessly to improve its platform and expand its predictions for the benefit of its users.

The entire purpose of public use prediction market platforms is to create a space where people from all over the world can harness the wisdom of the crowd, by creating their own predictions. In just one year, Stox has progressed to a powerful, risk-free Beta version platform with over 200,000 registered users, which is growing by an average of 550 users per day! Plus, we have opened the ‘Create Your Prediction’ portal to all our users so they can leverage the power of crowd sourced wisdom for themselves via our platform.

Product and Development: Our Ambitious Startup Approach

We still believe that one of the most important elements in prediction markets is liquidity. Our tireless dedication to development has allowed us to build a strong and reliable platform based on transparency and feedback from our tight-knit community. Unlike other prediction market platforms, which take years to launch even the simplest of versions, at Stox, from day one, we had a version up and running which gave users a glance into our development process and our user-experience. After exactly three months, we launched our Alpha version, which initiated the implementation of decentralized elements on the platform.
