Distribution & Entry
The two choices a creator makes at launch: how the pot is split among winners, and who is allowed to enter. Both are fixed into the child raffle when it is created and cannot change afterward.
Prize distribution modes
| mode | winners | split |
|---|---|---|
| Decile equal | The drawn top ~10% of entries. | 100% split equally. |
| Quintile equal | The drawn top ~20% of entries. | 100% split equally. |
| Grand prize | 1, 2, or 3 grand winners by raffle size. | 100% split equally across grand winners. |
| GP + Decile | Grand winners plus a decile tranche. | Grand winners split 40%; decile winners split 60%. |
| GP + Quintile | Grand winners, a decile tranche, and a second-decile/quintile tranche. | 20% / 50% / 30%, matching the Quintile-style tier framing. |
Entry policies
| policy | how it gates | use case |
|---|---|---|
| Open | Any wallet can enter once before the deadline. | Public free-play demos and simple testing. |
| Token gate | Entry requires holding a configured ERC-721 badge or ERC-20 balance. | Crypto-native groups, badge holders, or access-token communities. |
| Merkle allowlist | Entry requires a Merkle proof for the entrant wallet. | Invite lists, event demos, code-based onboarding, or off-chain signup flows. |
Merkle allowlists are the bridge for non-crypto-native onboarding: the off-chain flow can collect or create a wallet address, then the on-chain raffle only verifies that the address belongs to the published list.
