A Pyth Community initiative in collaboration with
Megapot.io, a Pyth Entropy user.
It is a smart contract on the Base network that pools USDC contributions from the Pyth Community to buy Megapot tickets on a weekly basis. If one of the pooled tickets wins the jackpot, prizes are distributed proportionally based on your contributions.
Connect your EVM wallet. Enter the number of tickets you want to fund and proceed with the transaction. Each ticket costs 1 USDC.
Each USDC you deposit counts as one contribution (e.g., 100 USDC = 100 contributions). Your all-time contributions are tracked and it determines your share of any jackpot prize winnings.
Tickets are purchased every Monday between 0000 and 0400 UTC using the total new contributions from the past week (1 USDC = 1 ticket). Ticket purchase frequency may be adjusted in future, depending on the level of participation.
If the pool wins the jackpot, winnings are distributed proportionally based on your lifetime contributions divided by the total contributions. Check your percentage share under "Your Contributions".
Those prizes will be redirected to purchase more tickets or used for maintenance of the pooling contract.
You need a small amount of ETH to cover gas fees for approving and depositing USDC on Base network.
We are currently in discussion with the Megapot team.
