# Introduction

betBase is a developer community researching decentralized non-custodial, peer-to-peer and onchain betting / prediction market infrastructure and services.

The community has developed an open and free protocol called betBlox™ and a number of support services allowing anyone to build and run non-custodial onchain betting dapps and services. For details on how to develop with the betBlox™ protocoll see: [\[betblox gitbook\]](https://docs.betblox.xyz)

A virtual peer-to-peer market place called the Open Betting Markets (OBM) built with the betBlox protocol has been deployed.
\
Anyone can become a bettor or a market maker via OBM and anyone can build clients / dapps to interact with the contracts.

To enhance the protocol our community has deployed a number of services like the A.I. Oracle, Sport Events API and development tools.
