14,000 unfarmable tickets: reaching real users on day one
What happened
Megapot is a provably fair onchain lottery on Base, a product that lives on trust. To launch to the right audience, it ran an Ethos Exclusive Access activation: 14,000 free tickets, gated entirely by onchain credibility score. No paid reach, no airdrop mechanics, no agency.
“For a product built on trust, who shows up matters as much as how many. Exclusive Access put our tickets in front of people who had already earned a reputation onchain, not farmers. We funded the prize, Ethos handled the reach, and it cost us nothing on top.”
Patrick Lung1466co founder, Megapot
Why farmers could not game it
An Ethos score is earned over time and cannot be bought, and a farmer running throwaway wallets cannot fake it at scale. Stack that gate on top of daily claims with no rollover and farming the drop stops being worth anyone’s time.
What it cost
Megapot funded the tickets. Everything else, the targeting, the gating, the founder livestream, the amplification across Ethos channels, came at no cost.
