Azuro's primary objective lies in simplifying the creation of prediction and gaming applications on blockchain platforms. By offering a suite of ready-to-use tools and services, Azuro empowers developers to swiftly build apps, integrations, and products without grappling with the technical intricacies of blockchain technology.

Moreover, Azuro's tools hold the potential to enhance the gaming experience within the burgeoning web3 landscape. For instance, using Sky Mavis' popular game Axie Infinity as a reference point, Azuro's spokesperson highlighted how their technology could facilitate in-game predictions, thereby augmenting the strategic depth of gameplay beyond traditional mechanics like creature battling and breeding.
