The money settlement aspect of Vigless will leverage Bitcoin's Lightning Network.

It will make use of the technology called Hodl Contracts developed by nostr:npub1yxp7j36cfqws7yj0hkfu2mx25308u4zua6ud22zglxp98ayhh96s8c399s (https://github.com/supertestnet/hodlcontracts).

As you can see in the repo's video, this open source technology allows for users to exchange lightning invoices and to pay them by routing via an intermediary Lightning Node that will act as an arbitrator.

This Lightning Node acting as arbitrator, will not route the payments of either participants until the outcome of the sport event they are betting on has been settled. Once the outcome of the betting event has been determined, the Lightning routing node will route the Lightning Payment of the loser to the winner and cancel the invoice payment of the winner so that their funds are returned to their Lightning Wallet.

In this settlement model, users custody and send funds directly from their lightning model and can use any functioning Lightning Network client they wish in order to make bets and receive their winnings. There is no need to custody funds prior to the placement of a bet with any sort intermediary. The Arbitrator Lightning Node has no custody or access to the funds that are holding, they can only control in which direction they are routed.
