Why We Chose Aptos for EBSCasino's Revival Cover

What is EBSCasino, and why did I create it?

Have you ever wondered what "EBS" stands for? It’s short for Eat - Bet - Sleep, humorously describing the lifestyle of professional gamblers.

EBSCasino is a project I initiated in 2019 on the Ethereum blockchain. Initially, it wasn’t successful, but I decided to revive and improve it on the Aptos blockchain. My goal is to build a transparent, fair betting platform that makes players feel secure and comfortable. Traditional platforms often have issues like lack of transparency and trust. Blockchain, especially Aptos, addresses these limitations.

I believe that EBSCasino will not only enhance the betting experience but also help more people understand the potential of blockchain technology.

Why did I choose Aptos?

I first learned about Aptos in 2022 when the project raised USD 350 million. However, only a few months ago, after talking to a former colleague working on Aptos, I dived deeper and realized it was the ideal platform for developing EBSCasino.

Here are the main reasons:

1. Robust Technology

Aptos inherits its technology from Facebook’s Diem/Libra project, with standout features:

  • Move programming language: Optimized for blockchain transactions.
  • BlockSTM mechanism: Enables fast and efficient transaction processing.
  • High performance and security: Suited for complex applications like EBSCasino.

2. Experienced Team and Long-term Vision

Aptos is led by experienced individuals like Avery Ching and Mo Shaikh, who focus on:

  • Improving user experiences.
  • Optimizing transactions.
  • Building a sustainable ecosystem.

3. Dynamic Ecosystem and Community

Aptos has attracted a strong community with impressive milestones:

4. Strong Support for Betting Applications

One significant challenge in developing betting apps on blockchain is generating random numbers. Ethereum uses the commit-reveal RNG method, but Aptos offers:

  • Built-in RNG: Fast, simple, and secure.
  • Ideal for betting games: Such as dice or coinflip.

5. Future-Oriented

Aptos not only meets current needs but also prepares for future challenges. It helps resolve bottlenecks in traditional blockchains and provides stability and high performance.

Conclusion

EBSCasino represents my belief in the power of blockchain to transform how people experience betting. With Aptos, I am confident in building a transparent, efficient platform that delivers long-term value and opens up opportunities for innovation.

I look forward to continuing this journey, alongside the Aptos community and those who believe in the potential of blockchain.
