Why is Mettle Built on Blockchain?
Why Mettle Market Is Built on the Blockchain
If you’ve never used crypto or blockchain before, don’t worry. You don’t have to know or care about crypto or blockchain to use it. We’ll make sure the experience feels like a regular app.
We just want to show you why we’re using this technology under the hood:
1. Building Blocks Already Exist (So We Build Faster)
Imagine you’re building a financial app from scratch. In the traditional world (like a normal website), you have to build everything yourself:
A system for logging in users
A way to hold people’s money
A way to process payments
A way to send winnings to the right people
That takes a lot of time, and often means using slow and expensive banks or building complicated backend systems.
But on blockchain, all of those pieces already exist and work together. You can think of them like Lego blocks:
Digital wallets (how you store funds)
Smart contracts (automated rules that can’t be changed)
Stablecoins like USDC (money that works 24/7)
Oracles (connect blockchain to real-world events)
Since these building blocks are already built and publicly available, we can focus on the actual product—and launch in weeks instead of months.
2. Global Payments Without Borders or Banks
Normally, transferring money around the world is messy. You need:
Stripe or PayPal accounts (which don’t work everywhere)
Bank approval and personal information (KYC)
Processing times that take days
With Mettle Market, we skip all of that. We use USDC, a digital dollar that stays equal to $1. It moves instantly and doesn’t care what country you’re in.
It’s like Venmo—but global, 24/7, and without any middlemen.
No bank account? No problem.
Live in Nigeria or Thailand? Still works.
Want your funds now? You got it—no waiting 3 business days.
Because it’s all digital and programmable, we can offer a smooth experience no matter where you live.
3. Everything Is Public and Open (If You Want to Look)
In most websites and apps, all the data lives behind closed doors. Only the company can see what’s going on.
Mettle Market is different. Because it runs on blockchain:
Every trade is public and traceable (no names attached, just wallet addresses)
Every market is auditable
Developers can build cool tools on top without asking for permission
It’s like a public scoreboard for every bet, market, and transaction.
If you’re just a casual user, you never need to look under the hood. But if you're curious or technical, you can see exactly how things work—no secrets, no black boxes.
4. You Hold the Keys. We Don’t Touch Your Money.
In traditional finance apps:
The company holds your money
If their server breaks or they get hacked, you lose access
You have to trust that they’ll send your payout fairly
On Mettle Market:
You hold your funds in your own digital wallet
No one can freeze your account
The payout rules are written into code and can’t be changed
That means:
Less risk for you
Less liability for us
And more focus on making the product better, not running a bank
It’s like going to a poker game where the chips can’t be stolen, and the dealer is a robot who always follows the rules.
Summary
Mettle Market uses crypto and blockchain not because it’s trendy, but because it makes building a financial app:
Faster
Cheaper
Global
More transparent
Safer for everyone
