i just flipped through the whitepaper It is saying:
HERO is a crypto currency to be used in connection with the HERO Network (HERO Network).
The HERO Network is a decentralized pooling system that allows predicting future
events in a cus-tomized game atmosphere. Different to todays betting system, the
Developer has created a fully transparent system allowing a natural expansion by its own
community creating games (Contests) on top of the HERO Network. This new decentralized
model gives back a part of the rake to the community to let users participate on HEROs
success. In designing the HERO Network, the Developer has strived to address the following
issues that the market for esports betting currently faces.
So the HERO decentralized network is already up and running?
