Raffle Passes

Simple on-chain raffle tickets — your entry to every daily draw

Overview

Raffle tickets are simple on-chain entries that grant participation in VORTEX's daily draws. There are no NFTs, no complex mechanics — just buy a ticket and you're in.

Design Philosophy: Raffle tickets are intentionally simple. The complexity and competitive advantage come from Luck Staking, not from the ticket itself.

How Tickets Work

Purchase

Parameter	Value
Currency	USDC
Price	Fixed per ticket (set by protocol)
Validity	Current day's draw only
Per-Wallet Cap	Maximum tickets per wallet per day (anti-whale)
Purchase Method	On-chain transaction via VORTEX DApp

Ticket Lifecycle

Buy Ticket → Entered in Today's Draws → Draw Occurs → Ticket Expires
     │                                        │
     │                                        ├── Win → Claim Prize
     │                                        └── Lose → Ticket Consumed
     │
     └── Revenue → Treasury

• Tickets are single-use — each ticket is valid for one day's draws only

• Tickets are non-transferable — they cannot be sold or traded

• Unused tickets expire at 00:00 UTC if not entered in a draw

• All ticket revenue flows to the Treasury (not the Vortex Pot)

Two-Tier Daily Draw

Every ticket purchased enters you into both daily draw tiers:

Tier 1: Small Wins (Guaranteed Daily)

Parameter	Value
Winners Per Day	25
Funding	10% of daily ticket sales
Selection	Chainlink VRF (random, Luck-weighted)
Claim Requirement	Winner must share on X (Twitter) to claim

Small Wins are distributed across four prize categories:

Category	Winners	Share of Small Win Pool
🥇 Top Prize	1	50%
🥈 Runner Up	4	35%
🥉 Lucky Pick	10	10%
🎁 Micro Win	10	5%

Tier 2: Vortex Draw (Conditional)

Parameter	Value
Winners	1 (if triggered)
Funding	4% of the 5% buy/sell trading tax
Trigger	Internal protocol parameters met
Selection	Chainlink VRF (Luck-weighted)

The Vortex draw only triggers when internal conditions are satisfied. If not triggered:

• 85% of the pot rolls over to the next day (growing the vortex)

• 15% is distributed to VORTEX token stakers as USDC rewards

Luck-Weighted Selection

Tickets are not equal. Your Luck Score from staking multiplies the weight of each ticket:

Your Effective Entries = Tickets Purchased × Luck Score

Example

Player	Tickets	Luck Score	Effective Entries	Relative Odds
Alice	3	5,000	15,000	55.6%
Bob	5	500	2,500	9.3%
Carol	1	8,000	8,000	29.6%
Dave	5	100	500	1.9%
Eve	10	100	1,000	3.7%

Key Insight: Carol with 1 ticket and high Luck outperforms Bob and Dave with 5 tickets each. Luck Staking is the real competitive advantage.

Revenue Flow

All ticket sale revenue flows to the Treasury, which allocates it as follows:

Allocation	Percentage	Purpose
🎁 Small Wins Pool	10%	Funds the 25 daily Small Win prizes
🍀 Staker Rewards	5%	USDC rewards distributed to VORTEX stakers
🏦 Treasury Reserve	5%	Operations, development, DeFi yield deployment
📣 Hype Vault	Variable	Counter-cyclical marketing fund

Important: The Vortex Pot is funded by 4% of the 5% buy/sell trading tax (the remaining 1% goes to the Team) — not by ticket sales. These are two independent revenue streams.

Anti-Whale Protections

Measure	Description
Per-Wallet Daily Cap	Maximum number of tickets any single wallet can purchase per day
Luck Weighting	Long-term small stakers can outperform short-term whales
Tiered Draw Pools	Some draws are exclusive to specific tiers, protecting smaller holders
No Bulk Discounts	Every ticket costs the same regardless of quantity
