“The Gimli Project” is looking for a Frontend Developer

What is Gimli?

Built on top of the Ethereum blockchain, Gimli is the first decentralized, trustless platform, that allows esports viewers to use digital tokens to place real time bets on video game outcome. Unlike centralized solutions, Gimli is transparent and resistant to hacking. The Gimli Smart Contract, that implements the betting process, guarantees safe betting between users without needing a third party institution. The ongoing bets as well as the matchmaking algorithm, hardcoded into the Ethereum blockchain, are accessible to all. This decentralized model also reduces transaction and other operating costs, and these savings are passed on to the consumer. Gimli aims at being the preferred global platform for esports digital betting as well as the leading brand in competitive esports, connecting millions of game enthusiasts around the world via a secure and reliable betting platform.
