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

We were inspired by ticket pools at work So we brought them onchain, made it social, and reduced friction by 10x Play with your frens directly in our Telegram chat now, powered by /moai

Excited to share that we'll likely launch more chances to win next week. Soon, 31 tickets every day will win small USDC prizes up to $25. This will work automatically in all the apps you use, and we'll also provide APIs for apps to be able to notify you of these smaller wins. Appreciate everyones' patience!

We fixed our dashboard’s ticket volume stats: https://stats.megapot.io/ Ticket volume doubled due to fixing an issue with our query; you can verify the query here: https://dune.com/megapot/all-time-stats Note: Only this aggregate historical statistic had an issue. All other stats on the page are unaffected.

My decade playing the strategy board game Go optimized my brain for depth-first searches with large context windows I used to play multiple blindfolded games simultaneously. Now I iterate through turn-based jackpot systems Interesting how my past plays such a role now

Play long-term games with long-term people Especially in crypto. You'll be surprised at how much others will cheer for you when you show up consistently over time, and your actions reflect that your timeline is longer-term than others

Yesterday, some users got an unexpected refund. Smart contract is working normally, no funds were lost, this was an issue with our site and payment provider. Players received less tickets than expected, and got the rest back as a refund. For example, if you spent $3 on tickets, you only got 1 ticket and a 2 USDC refund. This wasn't communicated to users. We immediately fixed the issue. Shout out to @ahn.eth for flagging the issue! We sent you a week's worth of your typical ticket purchases as a reward :)

Issue with pay flow from a user profile If you go to a user profile, choose the Pay button, the modal blurs out the rest, including the wallet confirmation

Love seeing what our APIs enable! Yes, Megapot is fully onchain, but we make it easy for you to ship additional features that would normally take complex events ingestion and logging!

Building a protocol-native company is different We encourage builders to build on us, have clean docs, and feature them in our own app now Whatever the opposite of a walled garden is :)
