World’s largest onchain jackpot where users can purchase $1 ticket to win $1M+ with $100M+ in drawings. Raised ~$5M in seed funding backed by Coinbase Ventures and Press Start Capital.

I consulted with the team on brand and product design improvements that could be made to increase ticket sale volume, generate global trust and loyalty from users, and appeal to both crypto-beginner and crypto-savvy audiences. The main touchpoints were the Megapot mini apps on Base, Farcaster, Worldcoin, etc and our cross-platform web application.

The team has Tier 1 crypto investors, including founders of the world’s largest iGaming brands and protocols. Additionally, co-founder and operators on the team include alumni from Uniswap Labs and ZKP2P.
