From someone in their tech team, got to know very curious insights.
CrickPe is built on Solidity smart contracts that automatically enforce performance bonuses for cricketers.
However, the underlying logic is enforced on an ELO based system with log-normal rewards. Essentially, if a cricketer rewards are:
Reward = Expected(reward) +- log(performance).
Their ELO is similarly adjusted on a match by match basis.
Also,
Insider reveal is that, VC community is keen on investing and Ashneer is considering raising funds but has made clear that he is willing to liquidate only till he has majority stake in the venture, although aiming at closer to ~75%.
Also, they are experimenting with NFTs linked to rewards that give you insider access to pre-game locker room access with your favourite teams, flying you out to international matches abroad, etc. This will also be tradeable in-app. They are apparently looking for Blockchain Devs/interns for that.
Finally, the biggest news. They’ve apparently launched a bid to get a fan-experience zone specific to CrickPe in the stadiums during IPL. The plan is to sell these tickets at a higher cost. Fans who watch games from this zone get to play a special variant where the highest scorer is given their reward from the MOTM.
