The money, reconciled

The round collected 20.00 USDC and paid out 20.00 USDC. Because this was a rehearsal, the same address was the house and every winner, so all of it came back — but the contract did not know that, and split it exactly as it will in a real round.

The randomness

Winners are drawn by Chainlink VRF v2.5, which produces a random number together with a cryptographic proof that it was not tampered with. The proof is verified on-chain before our contract is allowed to use it. Nobody — not us, not a miner, not Chainlink — can pick the winners.

We deliberately do not use block data for this. A block proposer can see values like prevrandao before publishing, and could quietly re-roll a draw worth a million dollars. Chainlink VRF costs more and is worth it.

The 100 winning tickets it produced

All 100 distinct, all inside the 0–1,999 range. The first drawn ticket (1501, in red) takes the watch; the other 99 take cash.

Every prize, as paid

In the order the contract delivered them. Ticket 1501 is absent because it won the watch, which is a physical object handed over off-chain rather than a transfer.

What this does and does not prove

Contracts

This rehearsal contract is not the one a real round will use. It is configured at one fifty-thousandth scale, and its house and guardian addresses are the test wallet. The production contract is deployed separately and its address will be published here and on the raffle page before it accepts a single ticket.
