Happy New Year, everyone! We have some exciting news and updates to share with you all.
After the World Cup, the Sided team had sit back and worked on major improvements on the protocol. Today we want to officially unveil our new mission and overall project directions for the 2023 year to the community.
From 2023 onwards, Sided Finance will be the leading infrastructure for decentralized prediction platforms. The Sided protocol will empower every sportsbook, prediction markets and betting exchange in Web3.
Originally built on Optimism, Sided had quickly realized the case for up and coming Ethereum Layer 2 blockchains: the scalability, security and high speed will be immensely important to onboard the next millions of users to Web3. For this reason, Sided has transitioned into a chain-agnostic protocol, with a sole focus on Ethereum L2 rollups and zk-EVMs.
It is also our great excitement to portray our vision for the ecosystem: The Sided Flywheel - consisting of incentives-aligned partners, with a decentralized, autonomous protocol at its core.

The Sided protocol will put forward the best interest of ecosystem’s major stakeholders.
It is high time that we reveal a partnership that we have been really excited about: goal3.xyz - the first decentralized sportsbook on @zkSync.
Over the past month, the Sided core team has worked closely with the Goal3 team to deliver a completely user-centric sportsbook. With a sleek design and intuitive navigation, it makes it easy for our fellow degens to find the events and betting options they are looking for and place their bets quickly and easily.
On the Goal3 platform, users of Sided can now place bets on their favorite sports events using a user-friendly interface that is fully integrated with the Sided protocol. This means that users can access all the features of Sided, including the ability to place bets, provide liquidity and earn rewards, on the zkSync L2 blockchain. With this introduction, we believe Sided is starting to fulfill its mission of being the liquidity protocol for all of Web3 sportsbooks and prediction markets.

In addition to the standard features of Sided, Goal3 also offers a range of exclusive promotions and bonuses for users. These include weekly rakeback on selected events and promotional NFTs for new users.
We are excited to see what the partnership between Sided and Goal3 will bring to the world of sports betting on the blockchain. Whether you are a seasoned sports bettor or new to DeFi, Goal3 will be the perfect interface for placing bets on your favorite sports events with the added security and transparency of Sided's sports AMM protocol.
