April 2, 2025 – Willemstad, Curaçao
Overtime an onchain sportsbook platform has formally integrated its parent protocol, Thales, under the Overtime brand.
The consolidation introduces a unified identity for the protocol and coincides with the launch of a new native token, OVER.
As part of the transition, the project has also unveiled a new primary domain and implemented full account abstraction integration to enhance the platform’s user experience.
With over four years of development, Overtime has established itself as a fully onchain sportsbook offering functionality comparable to traditional offchain platforms.
Built on the Ethereum network, the protocol emphasizes transparency, security and immutability.
Overtime’s operational history includes the following.
- Over $200 million in volume
- Support for over 100 sports and leagues
- 50,000 active users
- More than 10,000 unique betting markets
Users can access the new Overtime domain here.
A decentralized alternative to traditional sports betting
Overtime distinguishes itself from traditional bookmakers by operating a fully decentralized, permissionless sportsbook platform.
Anyone can seamlessly access Overtime with a simple connection without the barriers of traditional restrictive betting limits, arbitrary bans or withheld payouts.
Since its inception, Overtime has organically become the primary driver of Thales DAO growth.
Recognizing this growth, the DAO’s community unanimously approved via Thales Improvement Proposal 238 the full merger of Thales DAO to the branding of Overtime.
Comprehensive onchain user experience enabled by full account abstraction
With this launch, Overtime is also introducing a new concept Overtime accounts an onchain smart account designed to abstract wallet and EVM network complexities.
Overtime accounts use Particle Network for the seamless creation of wallets via Social Logins and Biconomy’s SDK to handle the smart-account functionalities, enabling frictionless transactions through its Paymaster, Bundler and Session Keys infrastructure.
After creating an Overtime account, users can deposit supported collateral into their designated address to access Overtime’s onchain sportsbook interface.
The platform supports features such as parlays, system bets, SGPs (same-game parlays), futures and live betting.
Transactions are executed through an account abstraction framework, removing the need for manual confirmations or the use of ETH to cover gas fees.
Overtime’s user experience has been designed to minimize blockchain-related complexities, allowing users to engage with the platform’s sportsbook features without requiring technical knowledge of underlying blockchain processes.
The interface offers a streamlined experience comparable to traditional web applications while maintaining the transparency and self-custody benefits provided by the Ethereum network.
A new Overtime UX is available here.
The new Overtime DAO token OVER
The new OVER token will have a new total supply of 69.42 million, compared to the original 100 million of the THALES token.
This means that 30.58 million THALES tokens will be burned in preparation for the migration to OVER.
All THALES token holders will be able to migrate their THALES to OVER token at a one-to-one ratio on the new Overtime.io domain.
This aligns with the new sustainable tokenomics designed to foster growth and focus it entirely on the OVER token.
The new OVER token will serve multiple utilities including the following.
- OVER as betting collateral By using OVER token as collateral on Overtime, users will enjoy improved odds (two percent better than baseline odds) compared to other collaterals. This boosts OVER token usage and aligns token holders with platform users.
- Buyback and burn All fees from Overtime will flow directly towards OVER token buybacks, focusing the entire growth of the project towards the token. Burning the buybacks reinforces deflationary token dynamics.
- Governance token Holding OVER grants voting power within Overtime’s decentralized governance structure.
The OVER token is built using Chainlink’s CCT token standard for easy and secure cross-network bridging using Chainlink’s CCIP.
The token will be live and liquid on Optimism, Arbitrum and Base across prominent DEXs (decentralized exchanges) such as Uniswap, Velodrome and Aerodrome.
