Highlights

     * Interesting market with high potential, but lack of active users
     * Solving a big issue with a bad UX and worrying mechanism design
       flaws
     * No break-through technology and a convoluted resolution process
     * Currently way overvalued on the fundamental side
     * Augur V2 (to be released in September) might solve some of the
       issues of the model, but will liquidity and participation rate
       increase?

Business Description

   Augur is the largest fully decentralized and open-source prediction
   market platform built on top of the Ethereum blockchain. It was founded
   in 2014 by Jack Peterson and Joey (Joseph) Krug. Augurās ICO in 2015
   allowed the organization to raise 5M USD and subsequently launch the
   mainnet in 2018. The goal of Augur is to provide a betting application
   (and an entire decentralized financial system, according to
   the [2]Augur Master Plan published in 2017) that is
   censorship-resistant from platform providers and government bodies
   allowing any user to create a prediction market.

                              Augur Master Plan

                                    Augur

    Augurās purpose is to democratize and decentralize finance. Weāll do
               this by enabling anyone, anywhere, at anyti...

   Based on its convoluted resolution model, Augurās value proposition
   lies in forecasting and communicating the outcome of real-world events
   thanks to designated reporters who get rewarded in REP (Reputation, the
   cryptocurrency for the Augur ecosystem) for every correct reporting on
   actual events and the ensuing market resolution. This system aims at
   creating a universe where market odds should align with real-world
   sentiment towards a specific event by allowing traders to participate
   in these peer-to-peer prediction markets.
