The people behind SafeBets
Prediction should reward what you know — not what you can afford to lose.
For the first time, prediction accuracy can generate real income regardless of geography, education, or capital.
A talented analyst in Lagos or rural Indonesia can build a verified track record. Intelligence is the only requirement — and no one ever has to put their own money on the line.
Meet the team

Two researchers. One paper. A whole new industry.
In 1991, W. Scott Stornetta and Stuart Haber published “How to Time-Stamp a Digital Document” — a way to link and verify digital records so that no one could quietly rewrite them.
Seventeen years later, the Bitcoin white paper built on their work. Today both sit on the SafeBets Advisory Council — and every prediction on SafeBets is written on-chain, open for anyone to verify.

Safebets Life
Four things we won’t compromise on
Nobody loses
No user can lose money. Not a little. Not ever. We built SafeBets so that bankruptcies and debt collection are structurally impossible.
Merit over money
The most accurate predictors rise to the top — whatever their background, education or bank balance.
Open to everyone
Zero capital to start. Every new member gets 100 unicoins, so anyone with a smartphone can take part.
Built in public
Every prediction is written on-chain and publicly verifiable. Our track record — and yours — is open for anyone to check.
The coin behind SafeBets
Unicoin is the official coin of SafeBets — “the rewards layer of the internet.” SafeBets is its first major use case: accurate predictions earn unicoins through Proof of Intelligence, turning human insight itself into an asset.
Same mission, same people: the team you met above is building both.
