I remember our launch here one year ago The Farcaster community gave us the best product feedback we could have asked for, shared it widely, and some of y’all even built on top of our protocol. This place is truly unmatched for early app builders. Thank you from the bottom of my heart 🫶
We raised $5M led by Dragonfly to build a global lottery

When we built our referral system, we didn't imagine power users like this Someone gets thousands of free tickets, with their group being 1 number away from hitting the jackpot 3 times

Lotteries onchain are the first idea everyone has in crypto But after working on this for a while, here's what we're doing differently:

1) megapot is a licensed gaming operator with an in-house compliance officer 2) we had a million dollar prize pool on day 1 with our unique liquidity pool turns out the hardest part of building in consumer is GTM, building trust, on/offramps, and UX that converts

With today's launch, I want to answer the two questions I get asked most: "Why are you building a lottery?" "Why does it need to be onchain?" 🧵
We're live with a $1 MILLION USD prize pool! For Farcaster players who've played before, see the reply to see what's changed! https://x.com/megapot/status/2036503350653624399

We’ve never been more excited to build on Base 🟦
The Base and Farcaster community has supported us this past year, so we want to make sure y’all get in early The new Megapot launches soon and our liquidity pool has a low deposit cap. Liquidity providers earned 100%+ APY early on in Megapot. Learn more here: https://x.com/megapot/status/2032511789259468980

Building in SF is insanely inspiring I was in the same batch as the founders of Koah Labs and Profound. They just raised $20M and $96M yesterday + Further AI ($25M), Foam, Lica, and many others Grateful to have sat at the same table at South Park Commons with them
