Hera

Problem Statement

HERA is a desktop overlay that lets you bet real money on fighting arcade games while playing with friends. It works with Fightcade's collection of fighting games, allowing players to bet USDC cryptocurrency on match outcomes.-> What it does: You and a friend can play classic fighting games like Street Fighter II or King of Fighters, but now there's real money on the line.-> Key Features:Bet USDC cryptocurrency on match outcomesPeer-to-peer betting between friends (no house takes a cut)Automatic payout when matches endWorks with any rated fighting game on Fightcade-> How it works Players create a HERA session and connect with their opponent. Both players place their USDC bets, then launch their chosen fighting game through Fightcade. HERA monitors the game in the background. When a match ends, it automatically detects the winner and sends the money to their wallet. Even if someone disconnects mid-game, the remaining player still gets the winnings.
