# Introduction Welcome to the Decentralized Gaming Network ($DGN), The first decentralized On-Chain Telegram betting bot. Bet on anything with your private groups! What is $DGN? $DGN is a product that allows users to play mini-games and create P2P matches directly within their Telegram groups. It's built on a fully decentralized platform, meaning all transactions and game outcomes happen transparently on the blockchain. The core idea is to let players compete against each other without a middleman. Unlike traditional online matchmaking platforms where the owner can have an advantage, $DGN is designed to be a purely player-versus-player (PvP) experience. We don't take a percentage of the initial buy-in or pot. Instead, a small 5% service fee is applied to payouts, and a portion of that fee is distributed to token holders, group owners and referring party. The Problem We're Solving Many online and crypto gaming platforms are not transparent. They can create an unfair advantage for the platform owners and often lack clear, verifiable systems for how things work. $DGN solves this by: * Making all payouts and matchmaking processes simple and transparent. * Using smart contracts on the blockchain for withdrawals and deposits. All betting is done on a database to save you gas fees on every bet! * Operating without any invasive software, KYC (Know Your Customer) requirements, or tracking methods. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
