Two days after the first launch of the Space Shuttle Program in April 1981, astronaut John Young piloted his orbiter to touch down in southern California.
The safe return of crew and orbiter marked the beginning of a new age of spaceflight which would include wheeled landings and the reuse of mission-proven spacecraft.
Astronaut John Young’s response to the successful mission? “The dream is alive.” Because launches aren’t the end. They are only the beginning. It’s what happens next that matters.
Which brings us to Moonpot, and the next steps for our win-win prize game following its July 20 launch.
Still new to the platform? Think of Moonpot as a crypto savings account that also enters you into a weekly big-money prize game.
Each week five winners are randomly and fairly picked from a pot. Your deposit acts as your entry ticket, but is always yours to keep. Even if you don’t win the prize, your assets will always grow thanks to the interest paid into your account daily.
Given the numbers involved it’s getting harder and harder to find anyone who hasn’t heard of Moonpot yet. Ten days since launch and Mission Control is happy to report:
- 80k USD of crypto prizes in Week 1
- 65k USD (and rising) of crypto prizes in Week 2
- 30k followers on Twitter
- 22k members on Telegram
- 15k Cadets in our first Moonpot
- 10m USD of CAKE deposited
With another three days to go to our second CAKE Moonpot prize draw you can guarantee all those numbers will go up before the next five winners are announced.
Winners are picked entirely at random thanks to the smart-contract code and the use of Chainlink VRF (Verifiable Random Function) — a provably fair and verifiable source of randomness.
And remember that because it’s a random prize draw anyone can win.
Take our launch Moonpot, for example, where one of the five winners was a Moonpot Cadet who deposited just 10 CAKE ($150). Their prize? $16,000 in crypto. Plus they got their stake back with added interest, too.
You can check the blockchain for proof here.
That’s the point of taking part. You have to be in it to win it. And with Moonpot you earn interest on your entry rather than having it taken from you.
Don’t delay. Play today! Before the next CAKE Moonpot prize draw takes place on August 2.
What about the IDO?
August 2 also sees something even bigger happening. It’s the launch of $POTS — our native token.
$POTS is both a governance token and a revenue-sharing mechanism, and has a fixed supply of 10 million tokens.
By holding $POTS and staking it in our governance pot — known as ‘Ziggy’s Pot’ — you will receive a proportional amount of the Moonpot platform’s revenue. These rewards are also in $POTS that come from open-market purchases (thereby creating buying pressure on the token).
You will also be part of the monthly prize draw for Ziggy’s Pot. Each month ten lucky winners from the pot will win a share of all the tokens awarded on the platform over the previous month.
The first Ziggy’s Pot Prize Draw will take place on September 1, and already includes $POTS, $BIFI, $CAKE, and $DODO. Anyone staking in Ziggy’s Pot between now and then will be eligible to win the big prize. All you need are some $POTS.
Which brings us back to why August 2 is such a big day — because it’s the first time anyone on Planet Earth will be able to fill their pockets with $POTS thanks to our IDO with DODO.
On August 2, Moonpot’s Mission Control will provide a 500,000 $POTS payload onto the DODO platform. There will be an initial offering price of $1 (BUSD) for Moonpot’s crowdfunding phase ending with a 24-hour window for those that are whitelisted.
After this, Cadets will receive their $POTS at the initial offering price based on the proportion of BNB or BUSD they staked into the IDO.
If more capital is staked than the soft cap, we will distribute the tokens based on each investor’s proportion of the total amount staked.
The pool will refund the difference between the individual’s total capital staked and the cost of the total $POTS received — calculated at its initial offering price.
There is a personal cap of $100 per asset per Whitelisted Cadet. This is to prevent whales getting all of the tokens at the launch price.
And we will only allow a maximum of 20,000 Cadets through our whitelisting missions.
Not yet whitelisted for The Big Day? Well this Friday (July 30) is your last chance to be whitelisted for Monday’s IDO.
Only those Cadets who have completed one of our Moonpot Missions will be able to get their hands on $POTS at the launch price of $1 (BUSD).
Click here should you wish to accept the last available Whitelisting Mission.
Be like Moonpot’s Captain Ziggy and keep the dream alive.
