Raffles and lotteries are powerful growth and fundraising tools. But without credibly trustless randomness, transparent fund flows, and a smooth UX, creators and charities avoid them.
Upgrade https://www.raffleize.art into a mainnet-ready platform for fair, on-chain raffles, including crowdfounding raffles and pot lotteries —secure, transparent, and open to all Cardano users.
This is the total amount allocated to Raffleize: On-Chain Crowdfunding Raffles & Pot Lotteries .

Please describe your proposed solution and how it addresses the problem
Without a trustworthy, easy raffle tool, Cardano misses out on everyday activities that could bring in new users, raise funds for causes, and generate transactions.
We will upgrade Raffleize (https://raffleize.art) from a working Preview app into a mainnet‑ready platform with:
Please define the positive impact your project will have on the wider Cardano community
Who benefits:
Each raffle or lottery creates multiple on-chain transactions, onboarding new wallets and generating adoption momentum.
What is your capability to deliver your project with high levels of trust and accountability? How do you intend to validate if your approach is feasible?
Track Record: Live, proven prototype already on Cardano Preview : https://raffleize.art/
I will be building on an existing codebase—reducing risk, cost, and delivery time—while adding high-impact features that boost ecosystem activity.

How does the cost of the project represent value for the Cardano ecosystem?
As Bitcoin liquidity flows into Cardano via cross-chain bridges, security-minded BTC users will seek provably fair dApps. Raffleize’s commit-and-reveal scheme offers Bitcoin-grade transparency, making it a natural gateway for these users to engage with Cardano—boosting adoption and transaction volume.
Raffleize directly drives new on‑chain activity by making it simple for anyone—creators, communities, or charities—to launch raffles and lotteries on Cardano.
Each event generates multiple transactions (creation, ticket purchases, draw, payout) and introduces new users to Cardano wallets and dApps.
Crowdfunding raffles help projects raise funds transparently, showcasing Cardano’s capabilities for secure, open fundraising.
Pot lotteries add an engaging, gamified use case that encourages recurring participation.
By being fully open source, Raffleize also becomes a reusable building block for other developers, multiplying its adoption impact across the ecosystem.
