Augur

Mixed feelings about Augur’s updates

I started using Augur about eight months ago because I was curious about pluggable, decentralized prediction markets in DeFi. The idea of relying on user consensus instead of centralized oracles is awesome, and adding stake incentives for reporters is clever. However, I’ve noticed the app sometimes lags during peak hours which messes with placing orders. Also, a couple of my dispute challenges lasted longer than I thought they should, which delayed payouts. The team seems active with updates though, so I’m hopeful these kinks will get ironed out soon. Still a good platform if you’re patient and want a trustless market experience.
