Decentralized Gaming Network (DGN) is a project that provides a decentralized, on-chain gaming and betting platform that operates primarily through a peer-to-peer bot integrated within the Telegram messaging application. The platform is designed to enable users to create and participate in custom wagers directly within private group chats. ^{[1] [2]}

Overview

The Decentralized Gaming Network (DGN) aims to integrate blockchain-based gaming and betting functionalities into the social environment of Telegram. The project's core objective is to address perceived issues in traditional online betting, such as a lack of transparency and reliance on centralized operators, by leveraging blockchain for verifiable transactions. The platform is built around a peer-to-peer (P2P) model, which means users wager directly against one another rather than against a central "house." This structure is intended to eliminate the house's inherent advantage and create a more equitable betting environment. All betting activities are designed to be settled on-chain, providing a transparent and immutable record of outcomes and payouts. ^{[3] [4]}

DGN's operational framework is centered on its Telegram bot, which serves as the primary user interface. This approach is intended to lower the barrier to entry for users by allowing them to interact with the platform through a familiar application, thereby avoiding the need for dedicated decentralized applications (dApps) or the use of Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) that are sometimes required for accessing gambling platforms. The system is designed to gamify community interactions within private Telegram groups, allowing members to create betting pools for events, settle disagreements, or host community tournaments. The initial deployment of the platform was on the Ethereum network, with the project stating its intention to expand to a multichain environment to operate across various blockchain networks in the future. ^{[1] [2]}

The economic model of the platform is structured around a service fee applied to winnings. Instead of taking a percentage of the total betting pool or pot, the system applies a 5% service fee to the payouts distributed to winners. This revenue is then shared among several key participants within the ecosystem: holders of the native $DGN token, the owners of the Telegram groups where the matches take place, and the individuals who referred the participating users. This fee-sharing mechanism is designed to create a self-sustaining ecosystem that incentivizes user acquisition, community hosting, and long-term holding of the platform's native token. ^[3]

Products

The core product of the Decentralized Gaming Network is its Telegram bot, which can be found on the platform under the username @THE_DGN_BET_BOT. This bot functions as the central infrastructure and primary interface for all platform activities. It is designed to be added to private or public Telegram groups, where it enables members to access the network's full suite of gaming and betting features. Users interact with the bot through a series of commands to manage funds, create and join matches, and view results. The bot handles all backend processes, including generating private wallet addresses for users, facilitating matchmaking, and executing automated payouts upon the conclusion of an event. ^{[2] [4]}

Features

The DGN platform incorporates several features designed to facilitate a seamless and transparent betting experience within Telegram. It allows group owners and users to create custom Player vs. Player (PVP) matches, defining specific events and their potential outcomes through a private direct message interface with the bot. Once a match is created, it becomes available for all members of the group to join. The system is built for automated payouts, where the bot processes and distributes the collected funds to the winners immediately after a group owner finalizes the official result. ^[2]

Another key feature is the platform's emphasis on user privacy and accessibility. It operates without requiring Know Your Customer (KYC) verification or other forms of user tracking, aiming to provide an anonymous experience. The integration with Telegram is central to its design, simplifying the user experience by removing the need for external software or complex wallet connections. The platform also includes an integrated referral program that allows both individual users and Telegram group owners to earn a percentage of the revenue generated from the users they refer to the network, creating a direct incentive for community growth. ^{[1] [3]}

Ecosystem

The DGN ecosystem operates entirely within the Telegram application and is structured around three main participants: users, Telegram group owners, and $DGN token holders. Users are the individuals who participate in the betting matches and mini-games. Telegram group owners act as match organizers or hosts, integrating the bot into their communities to create and manage events. The DGN bot serves as the central infrastructure that connects these participants and facilitates all platform functions. ^[2]

The economic activity within the ecosystem is driven by a fee-sharing model. A 5% service fee is collected from all winning payouts on the platform. This revenue is then distributed among the key stakeholders to incentivize participation and growth. A portion of the fee is allocated to $DGN token holders, providing them with a form of passive income derived from the platform's activity. Another portion is given to the owners of the Telegram groups where the betting activity occurred, rewarding them for hosting and fostering an active community. The final portion is distributed to the users who referred the winning players, encouraging word-of-mouth marketing and network expansion. This model aims to create a symbiotic relationship between the platform and its community. ^[3]

Use Cases

The platform is designed to support a variety of activities within private and public Telegram groups. Its primary functions are intended to merge social interaction with on-chain wagering.

• Peer-to-Peer Wagers: Users can create custom P2P betting matches on a wide range of outcomes, including sports events, political elections, or cryptocurrency price movements.
• Community Engagement: The platform can be used to host community-specific betting pools and tournaments, increasing engagement during live events.
• Dispute Resolution: It can serve as a tool for settling disagreements or friendly disputes within a group by allowing members to place on-chain wagers on the outcome.
• Monetization for Communities: Telegram group owners can integrate the bot to monetize their communities by earning a percentage of the betting revenue generated by their members.
• Escrow Services: The bot can function as a trustless escrow service for transactions between group members, holding funds until a predefined condition is met.

These use cases are facilitated by the platform's integration into the Telegram messaging environment. ^{[1] [2]}

Architecture

DGN utilizes a hybrid on-chain and off-chain architecture to balance the security and transparency of blockchain technology with the need for a cost-efficient and responsive user experience. This two-layer model separates the management of funds from the execution of game logic. ^[3]

The on-chain component consists of smart contracts deployed on the Ethereum blockchain. These contracts are responsible for managing all user deposits and withdrawals. When a user deposits funds, the transaction is recorded on the blockchain, providing a secure and transparent ledger of all assets held by the platform. Similarly, when a user withdraws their winnings, the transaction is executed by the smart contract, ensuring that the process is trustless and verifiable. ^[3]

The off-chain component is a centralized database that handles the real-time betting activities, such as matchmaking and recording wagers. By conducting these frequent, low-value interactions off-chain, the platform avoids subjecting users to blockchain network gas fees for every bet placed. This approach is intended to make the gameplay faster and more affordable. The Telegram bot acts as the intermediary between the user and this hybrid system, translating user commands into the appropriate on-chain or off-chain actions. After an event concludes and the result is finalized, the bot communicates with the on-chain smart contracts to execute the final payout distributions. ^{[4] [3]}

Tokenomics

The native cryptocurrency of the Decentralized Gaming Network is the $DGN token. It is designed to be an integral part of the platform's economic model, utility, and governance structure. ^[4]

Allocation

• Information regarding the specific token allocation percentages for team, marketing, liquidity, or other purposes is not detailed in the provided source materials. ^[3]

Utilities

The $DGN token is intended to have several functions within the ecosystem, aimed at driving demand and rewarding active participants.

• Revenue Sharing: Holders of the $DGN token are eligible to receive a portion of the 5% service fee that is collected from all winning payouts on the platform.
• Fee Payments: The token may be used to pay for certain platform fees, such as those associated with creating custom betting matches.
• Staking: The platform plans to allow users to stake their $DGN tokens to earn rewards and contribute to the security and stability of the network.
• Governance: The token is required for participation in the platform's governance process, granting holders the right to vote on proposals.

These utilities are designed to integrate the token deeply into the platform's core operations. ^{[4] [3]}

Governance

The DGN governance model is designed to allow the community of $DGN token holders to participate in key decisions regarding the platform's development and future direction. Token holders are expected to have the ability to propose and vote on a variety of issues, such as adjustments to the platform's fee structure, the implementation of new features, the expansion to other blockchain networks, or the allocation of funds from the community treasury. This model aims to decentralize control over the platform and align its evolution with the interests of its most invested users. ^[4]

Confirmed Partnerships

While the platform's "Partner" program primarily refers to its user and group owner referral system, it has established a presence on at least one major data aggregation platform.

• CoinGecko: The DGN token was listed on the CoinGecko cryptocurrency data aggregation platform on September 5, 2025, making its market data accessible to the public. ^[5]
