# Motivation Arcadeum's mission is twofold. 1. Create the most transparent, fair, and ethical online betting platform in the world. 2. Create the Uniswap of on-chain betting. Online betting has been dominated by evil people, organized crime, and even state-sponsored terrorists groups since its inception. This is widely documented and has gone on for years. Arcadeum is a community-driven, transparent, and decentralized viable alternative. ### Principles * Online betting should be fun and exciting but focused on connecting people together. * Online betting should be as safe as possible without preventing users from managing their own risk. * It is not wrong for the "house" of an online betting platform to have an "edge" and be projected to turn a profit. * The "house" of an online betting platform should be public, solvent, and available to any liquidity provider. This includes the players themselves. * Random number generation must be provably fair. This provable fairness must be transparent for all to see, such as on a public blockchain. Arcadeum is a step towards a world where people can enjoy online betting without financially enabling human trafficking, forced labor, extreme worker exploitation, or predatory marketing. Arcadeum is a step towards a world where players understand the risks, odds, payouts, and mechanisms behind the games they play. Prioritizing transparency, decentralization, and censorship resistance, Arcadeum is a true on-chain movement. --- # 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.
