Building a Solana Sports Betting app – Need your feedback on UX, tokens, and market resolution!

Hey everyone,

I'm currently developing a decentralized sports betting and prediction market platform native to Solana (focusing on football/soccer first).
Before going to mainnet, I want to make sure the UX and architecture are exactly what the community wants. I have three quick questions for you:

  1. SOL or Stablecoins? When betting on a match, do you prefer using native SOL or stablecoins like USDC/UST to avoid price volatility while waiting for the game to end? Or other blockchain?

  2. One-click betting? Would you prefer to approve a wallet transaction for every single bet, or deposit into a secure smart-contract vault once to enjoy instant, 1-click betting with no wallet pop-ups?

  3. Fair Market Resolution? What do you think is the fairest way to resolve the markets once a match ends? Should the platform admin settle the results based on official data, or should we integrate decentralized oracles (like Switchboard/ Pyth) or even a community-voting dispute mechanism to keep it 100% trustless?

Also, we are designing a fair affiliate program: commissions are paid instantly on-chain, and your balance never expires (no activitv time-bombs).
Would a minimum withdrawal limit (like 0.5 SOL / 50 USDC) to avoid network dust be okay with you?

I'd love to hear your thoughts, pain points with current betting sites, or any suggestions you have!

Thanks 🚀
