Megapot (NDA)


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

I consulted with the team on-site in San Francisco 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 included Megapot mini apps on Base, Farcaster, and Worldcoin as well as our cross-platform web application.

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