Daily Scratch-Off
This mechanism awards 60% of the total prize pool. Participants earn one scratch-off card for every 50,000 USDT in daily futures trading volume, up to a maximum of five cards per day. Cards can be saved and redeemed at any point before the close of the lucky draw period, with potential bonuses of up to 2,025 USDT.
Weekly Spin Wheel
Allocating 25% of the prize pot, the Weekly Spin Wheel provides one spin for every 2 million USDT in weekly futures trading volume, capped at five spins each week. Spin chances may be accumulated and used at any time before the lucky draw ends.
Ultimate Lottery
Participants acquire one lottery ticket for every 10 million USDT in cumulative futures trading volume, with no upper limit. Top prizes include the 2,000g gold bar valued at 300,000 USDT, multiple bitcoin rewards and additional bonuses.
Transparency is ensured through blockchain verification. The Ultimate Lottery uses Bitcoin blockchain data to select winners, with the winning number determined by the last five digits of the first BTC block hash generated after 17 December 2025 at 12:00 (UTC). Prizes are allocated based on consecutive matching digits from right to left, with the participant achieving the highest number of matches receiving the gold bar.
