MyDFS (DFS)

What is MyDFS

As a blockchain-based platform, MyDFS is powered by ERC20 tokens and incorporates innovation in the fantasy’s sports world by the use of smart contracts in transactions. MyDFS allows the user to select a team, and the players’ actions within the day earn them points. This is unlike traditional fantasy sports where a team lasts for a whole season.

MyDFS replaces the use of fiat currency for the ERC-20 cryptocurrency, which helps to avoid legal constraints for operations in different countries.

How MyDFS Works

MyDFS runs on Ethereum platform and utilizes MyDFS tokens in transactions. The tokens allow users to play, win, or exchange the token with fiat money or other currencies easily. Those who wish to join the platform register and create an account through the official website or the MyDFS mobile application. They will then access a customized wallet where they log in to complete transactions. These wallets can hold both MyDFS utility contracts and Ethereum. The different contracts play different roles in the platform.
