Golden Goal is a decentralized, gamified sports prediction and social forecasting platform built on the Solana blockchain. It allows users to place predictions on real-world football matches across six distinct sub-markets (including Match Result, Over/Under Goals, Both Teams to Score, First Half Result, Double Chance, and First Goalscorer). The platform integrates enterprise-grade live sports data APIs (Sportradar) to update match scores and automatically resolve predictions and distribute rewards in real-time upon match completion.
