About Augur

Augur is a decentralized prediction market platform. Augur was launched in 2014 and was one of the first major platforms built on the Ethereum blockchain.

Augur is, essentially, a decentralized take on gambling — created from the concept of monetizing correct predictions. Crypto users can speculate and predict the outcome of any future event, such as an election or the World Cup winner, and those who predict correctly win money. The smaller the likelihood of an event occurring, the bigger the reward will be. Augur’s advanced prediction model means that it can generate real-time predictive data, which are often more accurate than the predictions of leading experts.

At this time, Alternative Airlines does not support REP as a payment method. Nevertheless, you have the opportunity to use alternative cryptocurrencies as a secure method of payment for your flights through our platform.

Why use REP to buy flights?

Because it is one of the oldest Ethereum projects, Augur has a solid reputation. Vitalik Buterin, one of the founders of Ethereum, is also advisor to the Augur team — giving the platform strong notability within the cryptocurrency market. Here are some of the key strengths of Augur:

Decentralization

Because Augur is decentralized, it does not belong to anyone. No central authority holds control. Augur is a free, public and open source software.

Built on Ethereum

It is built on Ethereum (ETH). Ethereum is the 2nd biggest cryptocurrency in the world, after Bitcoin. BAT is growing and has been forecasted to have a very promising future ahead.

Augur for Flights FAQs

How does Augur work?

Augur is a protocol for cryptocurrency users to create their own prediction markets. Unlike exchanges where assets are traded, prediction markets let users bet on the outcome of future events. Augur allows users to create a prediction market on any topic. Users trade on an event’s outcome by buying and selling the ‘shares’ of an outcome and its value, without reliance on an intermediary.

What is the token of Augur?

REP is the native cryptocurrency of Augur. Users don't need REP to trade (ETH is used for that) but to create a market, you'll need both some REP and ETH.

Who owns Augur?

Augur was founded in 2014 by Jack Peterson and Joey Krug, who shared a vision to shift away from traditional centralized prediction markets. The Augur protocol is supported by Forecast Foundation, a group of developers who contribute to the maintenance and development of the protocol. Because it is decentralized, the Forecast Foundation supports the protocol but does not own or control it. Following crowdfunding in 2015, the project was launched in July 2018.
