I'm so excited to launch Megapot V2 While I'm proud of all the improvements, I wanted to answer the # 1 question I get asked: "why are you building a gambling app when you can literally build anything else?" 🧵 https://warpcast.com/megapot/0x00f56db5

Most succinct way I've ever seen someone put it: "When should a token be launched? 1. A daily active behavior exists 2. Retention curve flattens 3. The app has at least one repeatable economic action worth taking a cut on"

I'm surprised no one has focused on improving the App Store caption, graphics, and description It's a pretty clear contrast, and I know which app I'd use at a glance

$1M TVL is nothing for a DeFi protocol Yet a $1M jackpot is larger than most lotteries worldwide The question is not "if" but "when" :)

Testimonial - thanks @ninasuthers for the inspo! I asked my investors for their investment memo or a summary Super helpful to see what resonated, how they explain the opportunity, their modeling on potential outcomes, and all the risks they outlined

Biggest quality of life improvement as a crypto founder is having Telegram chats default muted, with a few important ones unmuted Then, set all unknown chats to be muted and archived by default Went from being overwhelmed to ~~zen~~ overnight

This is the new standard for how apps build on protocols. This team: 1. Reached out with a finished interface based on our docs, example repo, UI kit 2. Deployed a custom smart contract to redirect their app fees to users as cashback 3. Did all this without hopping on a call

It took six long months But someone finally won the $207,076.40 jackpot with a $1 ticket LPs got rekt. But the protocol worked as expected - there’s a fresh $212,000 jackpot. What an insane day.

hey @matthewb and @kenny, i'm happy to discuss how this is not a ponzi - we're trying to build the fairest way to speculate ever. a ponzi has early users taking advantage of later users. with megapot, anyone can be a player, the house, or build an app. i hate most memecoins, which are an uneven playing field where retail gets fleeced. here, the edge is mathematically constant and anyone can have the edge, not possible anywhere else. a ponzi is about promised utility with no actual profits. megapot's utility is similar to one of the most popular activities in the world: a billion people played the lottery last year crypto in general is full of scams, casinos take a large margin, and scratchers take even larger margins. you don’t have to condone gambling to want to improve it. it’s a noble goal to reduce consumer prices. that's why we're building this. if you're saying that this is speculation, and you'd like less speculation in crypto, that's totally fine! but calling it a ponzi is unfair

what do people think of our user flow? are we overcomplicating it? 1. if you don't have a wallet, show credit card checkout only. built for normies. 2. if you have a wallet but don't have USDC on Base, we let you pay with any token on any chain, CEX, credit card. 1 click, no bridging or onramping required. 3. if you have a wallet and USDC on Base, just approve and pay; or switch chains if not on Base. least clicks for CT someone asked about giving credit card options for those with USDC on Base: "I still might wanna buy with credit card if I only have a few USDC that I don’t wanna spend. it’s such a hassle to go buy new USDC, put it on chain, etc" do y'all have this need?

is there an easier way to multi-account on warpcast than using two chrome profiles?

Check out our new Frame! 📲 You can now deposit into our liquidity pools to earn fees, and get in before we hit the max # of LPs, before our relaunch tomorrow It works seamlessly with Warpcast Wallet and way better than our webapp.
