Betting x402 UX

User Experience (UX) on XorraBet - The x402 flow transforms betting from a clunky, multi-step process (e.g. log in → deposit → confirm → wait) into a near-instant, one-click interaction, emphasizing speed and trustlessness.

Here's the end-to-end UX for a typical user placing a $0.10 bet on a live football match: Discovery and Selection: User browses odds on XorraBet's app/site (e.g. "ManU to win @ 2.5 odds"). Clicks "Place Bet" – no pre-login required for guest mode.

Seamless Payment Prompt: App detects the backend 402 response and pops a clean wallet modal (integrated via Web3 provider like MetaMask or mobile wallet app). Displays: "Confirm $0.10 USDC bet on ManU win? (Fees: ~$0.0001)" with a breakdown (stake + tiny network fee). User taps "Approve" – wallet signs the tx in 1-2 seconds (no entering card details or bank info).

Instant Confirmation: Backend verifies and settles the payment on-chain (confirmation in <5 seconds on Base/Solana). Screen updates: "Bet placed! ID: abc123 | Potential payout: $0.25 | Track live." Optional animation: Odds board refreshes, bet appears in "My Bets" (auto-saved via session or wallet-linked ID).

Post-Bet Flow: Winnings auto-payout to user's wallet on event resolution (via another x402-like callback). For micro-bets, users can chain multiple (e.g. parlay builder) without re-authenticating. Fallbacks: If payment fails (e.g. insufficient balance), gentle nudge: "Top up via x402?" with a quick retry.

Key UX Benefits: Frictionless Onboarding: No sign-up for small bets – just connect wallet once. Speed: End-to-end <10 seconds vs. 2-5 minutes for traditional fiat gateways. Transparency: Real-time tx hashes visible; users own their funds (no platform-held balances). Mobile-First: Works seamlessly via apps like Phantom, with low data usage. Edge for Micro-Betting: Enables fun, low-stake bets (e.g. $0.01 on in-play events) without high fees killing margins.
