The heart of VORTEX — a two-tier daily draw system with guaranteed small wins and a conditional vortex
VORTEX Draw System — Live Dashboard View
Overview
The VORTEX draw system operates on two tiers that run simultaneously every day:
Tier
Name
Frequency
Winners
Condition
Tier 1
Daily Small Wins
Every day
Multiple wallets
Always happens — no conditions
Tier 2
Daily Vortex
Every day
1 winner
Conditional — based on internal protocol parameters
This dual structure ensures that someone always wins something every day, while the big vortex grows until conditions are met for a life-changing payout.
How the Vortex Pot Grows
The Vortex Pot is a USDC-denominated smart contract funded by a single source:
Source
Contribution
Buy Tax (5%)
4% → Vortex Pot, 1% → Team (deployer-adjustable)
Sell Tax (5%)
4% → Vortex Pot, 1% → Team (deployer-adjustable)
The pot is always denominated in USDC — no exposure to token price volatility. Raffle ticket sales do not fund the vortex directly; they flow to the Treasury.
Tier 1: Daily Small Wins
Every day, 25 ticket buyers are randomly selected to receive small prizes. This happens regardless of any other conditions — if tickets were sold that day, small wins are distributed.
Funding
Small wins are funded by 10% of that day's total raffle ticket sales, allocated from the Treasury.

Selection Method
Winners are selected purely at random using Chainlink VRF
Every ticket buyer that day has an equal chance
Luck Score does not affect small win odds — this is a level playing field
Claim Requirement: Share on X
To claim a small win prize, the winner must share a post on X (Twitter).
This creates a viral marketing engine built directly into the protocol:
25 winners per day = 25 organic posts per day minimum
Real people sharing real wins = social proof
Zero marketing cost — the prize was already allocated
Non-holders see wins in their feed → FOMO → new users join
Tier 2: Daily Vortex (Conditional)
The Vortex is the big prize — a single winner takes home a significant USDC payout. However, the vortex draw is conditional: internal smart contract parameters determine whether a winner is drawn on any given day.
When a Winner IS Drawn
If the protocol's internal conditions are met, a vortex winner is selected:
Allocation
Percentage
Destination
Winner Prize
50%
Sent directly to winner's wallet in USDC
Rollover
35%
Stays in the pot for the next draw
LP & Buyback
10%
Used to buy back VORTEX and add to LP
Treasury
5%
Sent to treasury for ecosystem operations
The pot never fully drains — 35% always rolls over, ensuring the next day's pot starts with a healthy base.
When No Winner Is Drawn
If conditions are not met for a vortex draw, the No-Winner Protocol activates:
Allocation
Percentage
Destination
Staker Rewards
15%
Distributed to VORTEX stakers as USDC
Rollover
85%
Stays in the pot — grows for tomorrow
This means:
Stakers earn real USDC on days when no vortex winner is drawn
The pot grows larger every day it rolls over
A growing pot creates increasing excitement and attracts more participants
Eventually, conditions are met and a massive vortex is awarded
The team never benefits from a no-winner scenario. This is enforced at the smart contract level.
