<h2 id="proposalsummary">Proposal Summary</h2>
<p>This proposal seeks funding for the jackpot of Lotto multichain dApp.</p>
<p>The Lotto dApp is very similar to national lotteries. The user chooses numbers and if the numbers match the winning numbers, he wins the jackpot. If there is no winner, the jackpot is put back into play. We believe that the blockchain is really suited for this use case. All data is registered in the blockchain and can be verified. This is the Web3 version of the lotto.</p>
<p>Currently, the version V1, is live on Astar Network since June 14th 2024. <a href="https://lucky.substrate.fi/lotto/astar#participate">Lotto dApp V1</a></p>
<p>A version of the dApp V2, multichain, is deployed on the testnets since November 20th 2024: <a href="https://reorg--lotto-evm.netlify.app/">Lotto dApp V2 - testnet</a> The multichain version can be deployed on any EVM chains or Substrate chains with the Contracts pallet. Players can participate in the lottery on different chains using either EVM or Substrate wallets, competing for the same jackpot in a single draw. The draw and jackpot are common across all chains where the Lotto multichain dApp is deployed.</p>
<p>Everything is automated and decentralized via WASM smart contracts or Solidity smart contracts. These smart contracts communicate with each other.</p>
<p>You can find a presentation of the dApp here: <a href="https://youtu.be/r3iTKy5NOg4">Lotto dApp Presentation</a> Another video explains the interaction between smart contracts: <a href="https://youtu.be/jwdbL1Mynw8">Smart Contracts Interaction</a></p>
<h2 id="impactandvaluetotheecosystem">Impact and Value to the Ecosystem</h2>
<p>Ink! smart contracts are one of Polkadot's specialties. These smart contracts are deployed and running using the Contracts pallet of the Substrate blockchains.</p>
<p>The Lotto multichain dApp demonstrates the potential of Ink! smart contracts and highlights Polkadot's strengths:</p>
<ul>
<li>Interoperability between its blockchains</li>
<li>Rich ecosystem with WASM smart contracts on Astar Network</li>
<li>Offchain computation on Phala Network</li>
<li>EVM smart contracts on Moonbeam</li>
</ul>
<p>In addition, the dApp can be deployed on any Layer 2 blockchain that is EVM-compatible, demonstrating Polkadot's openness to other ecosystems.</p>
<p>By making the platform open-source on GitHub, it provides the community with a real-world example of a dApp built with Ink! smart contracts, offering a valuable resource for other developers.</p>
<p>The Lotto dApp has been live since June 2024, attracting 15,500 participants, showing promising engagement even with a modest jackpot.</p>
<p>We believe that such a dApp, free, with its user-friendly interface and straightforward concept, could generate significant interest with a substantial jackpot and drive adoption of the Polkadot ecosystem.</p>
<p>This dApp could create organic growth for the Polkadot ecosystem and its blockchains with an increasing number of addresses and transactions.</p>
<p>The dApp can also be a showcase for the Polkadot DAO as a successful project, 100% made in Polkadot, written by its community, for its community, and funded by the largest DAO in the world.</p>
<h2 id="proposaltofundlotteryjackpot">Proposal to fund lottery jackpot</h2>
<p>To generate significant interest and organic growth in the Polkadot ecosystem, the jackpot must be substantial. The bigger the jackpot, the bigger the hype. It's why we would like the DAO allocates 100,000 DOT to the jackpot.</p>
<p>The jackpot will be held by a multisig wallet and the members will be chosen by the DAO (e.g. Head Ambassadors). No funds will be held by the smart contracts, eliminating the risk of token loss. When there is a winner, the community and our team can verify the draw's validity and the winner's participation before the jackpot is transferred from the multisig to the winner's address.</p>
<p>After one year, if there is no winner, the amount allocated to the jackpot may return to the treasury.</p>
<p>The jackpot amount may be adjusted based on the community feedbacks.</p>
<h2 id="parametersofthedapp">Parameters of the dApp</h2>
<p>The dApp settings should be chosen based on the size of the jackpot. With a big jackpot, the probability of finding the winning numbers should be low.</p>
<p>With 100,000 DOT as jackpot, we suggest the following parameters:</p>
<ul>
<li>The players can choose 6 numbers between 1 and 99. There are more 1 billion possibilities.</li>
<li>The draw will take place draw every 100 000 blocks (around 1 week with 1 block per 6 second).</li>
</ul>
<p>With these parameters and a jackpot of around $1M, the tx would have to cost less than $0.00089 for it to be economically interesting to spam the blockchains with all available combinations to have a possibile gain.</p>
<p>Other possible combinations:</p>

<h2 id="wherethedappwillbedeployed">Where the dApp will be deployed</h2>
<p>The Ink! smart contracts that manages the lottery must be deployed on Astar and Phala Networks.</p>
<p>However, the contracts that the user interacts to register numbers can be deployed on any EVM chains or Substrate chains with the Contracts pallet.</p>
<p>We suggest to deploy the contracts on Astar, Moonbeam and Soneium.</p>
<p>On Astar Network, the user will be able to play with a Substrate wallet.</p>
<p>On Moonbeam, the user will be able to play with a EVM wallet.</p>
<p>Soneium, the new Layer 2 built by Astar Team and backed by Sony, will be connected to the Superchain. This way the dApp will the first cross-chain dApp between Polkadot and Superchain.</p>
<p>Another important and technical information, in order to make the use of Phala's VRF (Verifiable Random Function) as secure as possible, transaction hashes are used to generate the salt provided to the VRF function. These transaction hashes are provided by the blockchains where the dApp is deployed.</p>
<p>Even if some hackers found a way to hack the Verifiable Random Function provided by Phala, they would also have to find a way to control the hashes generated by all the blockchains, making the attack much more complicated. That&rsquo;s why I suggest deploying the dApp on at least three different blockchains. Of course, we can also deploy these dApps on more blockchains.</p>

<h2 id="projectoverview">Project Overview</h2>
<p>Lotto is a multi-chain dApp that includes multiple smart contracts:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>The Manager</code>: This smart contract, written in Rust and Ink!, is deployed on Astar Network. It knows the state of all other smart contracts and decides what actions to perform for each smart contract. It is the brain of the application.</li>
<li><code>The Communicator</code>: This smart contract, written in Rust and Ink!, is deployed on Phala Network. It enables communication between smart contracts by communicating with the contract manager and transmitting actions to other contracts.</li>
<li><code>The Participation Recorder</code> (WASM and EVM versions): These smart contracts record users' participation in the lottery. A version has been written in Rust and Ink! and can be deployed on any Substrate chain where the Contracts pallet is deployed, like Astar Network. Another version has been written in Solidity and can be deployed on any EVM-compatible chain like Moonbeam or any Layer 2 like Soneium.</li>
</ul>
<p>All contracts are battle-tested via unit tests and integration tests.</p>
<h3 id="additionalcomponents">Additional Components</h3>
<ul>
<li><code>Subquery Multi-chain Indexer</code>: All data is registered on the blockchain and indexed via a Subquery Multi-chain indexer.</li>
<li><code>User Interface</code>: The user participates in the lottery through an intuitive graphical interface.</li>
<li><code>CLI Tool</code>: A command-line interface tool for deploying and configuring smart contracts and testing the whole scenario.</li>
<li><code>Contract Monitor</code>: A graphical interface that allows visualization of each contract's status during contract synchronization.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="possibleevolutionwithnftsintegration">Possible evolution with NFTs integration</h2>
<p>NFTs can be integrated to serve as lottery tickets. These NFTs can be periodically airdropped to DOT stakers. In this way, later, the lottery could be limited only to the holder of these NFTs. Offering these NFTs to DOT stakers for free could provide an additional use case and increased attractiveness to the DOT token.</p>
<h2 id="roadmap">Roadmap</h2>
<h3 id="shorttermgoals">Short-Term Goals</h3>
<ul>
<li>Finalize and optimize the dApp to be ready to deploy on mainnet networks.</li>
<li>Based on community feedbacks, our team will:</li>
<li>Deploy the smart contracts on the different blockchains.</li>
<li>Configure the smart contracts with the chosen parameters.</li>
<li>Set up the indexer and the UI.</li>
<li>Once the contracts are configured, revoke the admin rights and update the contract owner with the smart contract address.</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="midtermgoals">Mid-Term Goals</h3>
<ul>
<li>Integration with mobile wallets (Nova Wallet)</li>
<li>Implementation of advanced features:

This is the Web3 version of the lotto.</p>
<p>Currently, the version V1, is live on Astar Network since June 14th 2024. <a href="https://lucky.substrate.fi/lotto/astar#participate">Lotto dApp V1</a></p>
<p>A version of the dApp V2, multichain, is deployed on the testnets since November 20th 2024: <a href="https://reorg--lotto-evm.netlify.app/">Lotto dApp V2 - testnet</a> The multichain version can be deployed on any EVM chains or Substrate chains with the Contracts pallet. Players can participate in the lottery on different chains using either EVM or Substrate wallets, competing for the same jackpot in a single draw. The draw and jackpot are common across all chains where the Lotto multichain dApp is deployed.</p>
<p>Everything is automated and decentralized via WASM smart contracts or Solidity smart contracts. These smart contracts communicate with each other.</p>
<p>You can find a presentation of the dApp here: <a href="https://youtu.be/r3iTKy5NOg4">Lotto dApp Presentation</a> Another video explains the interaction between smart contracts: <a href="https://youtu.be/jwdbL1Mynw8">Smart Contracts Interaction</a></p>
<h2 id="impactandvaluetotheecosystem">Impact and Value to the Ecosystem</h2>
<p>Ink! smart contracts are one of Polkadot's specialties. These smart contracts are deployed and running using the Contracts pallet of the Substrate blockchains.</p>
<p>The Lotto multichain dApp demonstrates the potential of Ink! smart contracts and highlights Polkadot's strengths:</p>
<ul>
<li>Interoperability between its blockchains</li>
<li>Rich ecosystem with WASM smart contracts on Astar Network</li>
<li>Offchain computation on Phala Network</li>
<li>EVM smart contracts on Moonbeam</li>
</ul>
<p>In addition, the dApp can be deployed on any Layer 2 blockchain that is EVM-compatible, demonstrating Polkadot's openness to other ecosystems.</p>
<p>By making the platform open-source on GitHub, it provides the community with a real-world example of a dApp built with Ink! smart contracts, offering a valuable resource for other developers.</p>
<p>The Lotto dApp has been live since June 2024, attracting 15,500 participants, showing promising engagement even with a modest jackpot.</p>
<p>We believe that such a dApp, free, with its user-friendly interface and straightforward concept, could generate significant interest with a substantial jackpot and drive adoption of the Polkadot ecosystem.</p>
<p>This dApp could create organic growth for the Polkadot ecosystem and its blockchains with an increasing number of addresses and transactions.</p>
<p>The dApp can also be a showcase for the Polkadot DAO as a successful project, 100% made in Polkadot, written by its community, for its community, and funded by the largest DAO in the world.</p>
<h2 id="proposaltofundlotteryjackpot">Proposal to fund lottery jackpot</h2>
<p>To generate significant interest and organic growth in the Polkadot ecosystem, the jackpot must be substantial. The bigger the jackpot, the bigger the hype. It's why we would like the DAO allocates 100,000 DOT to the jackpot.</p>
<p>The jackpot will be held by a multisig wallet and the members will be chosen by the DAO (e.g. Head Ambassadors). No funds will be held by the smart contracts, eliminating the risk of token loss. When there is a winner, the community and our team can verify the draw's validity and the winner's participation before the jackpot is transferred from the multisig to the winner's address.</p>
<p>After one year, if there is no winner, the amount allocated to the jackpot may return to the treasury.</p>
<p>The jackpot amount may be adjusted based on the community feedbacks.</p>
<h2 id="parametersofthedapp">Parameters of the dApp</h2>
<p>The dApp settings should be chosen based on the size of the jackpot. With a big jackpot, the probability of finding the winning numbers should be low.</p>
<p>With 100,000 DOT as jackpot, we suggest the following parameters:</p>
<ul>
<li>The players can choose 6 numbers between 1 and 99. There are more 1 billion possibilities.</li>
<li>The draw will take place draw every 100 000 blocks (around 1 week with 1 block per 6 second).</li>
</ul>
<p>With these parameters and a jackpot of around $1M, the tx would have to cost less than $0.00089 for it to be economically interesting to spam the blockchains with all available combinations to have a possibile gain.</p>

<h2 id="wherethedappwillbedeployed">Where the dApp will be deployed</h2>
<p>The Ink! smart contracts that manages the lottery must be deployed on Astar and Phala Networks.</p>
<p>However, the contracts that the user interacts to register numbers can be deployed on any EVM chains or Substrate chains with the Contracts pallet.</p>
<p>We suggest to deploy the contracts on Astar, Moonbeam and Soneium.</p>
<p>On Astar Network, the user will be able to play with a Substrate wallet.</p>
<p>On Moonbeam, the user will be able to play with a EVM wallet.</p>
<p>Soneium, the new Layer 2 built by Astar Team and backed by Sony, will be connected to the Superchain. This way the dApp will the first cross-chain dApp between Polkadot and Superchain.</p>
<p>Another important and technical information, in order to make the use of Phala's VRF (Verifiable Random Function) as secure as possible, transaction hashes are used to generate the salt provided to the VRF function. These transaction hashes are provided by the blockchains where the dApp is deployed.</p>
<p>Even if some hackers found a way to hack the Verifiable Random Function provided by Phala, they would also have to find a way to control the hashes generated by all the blockchains, making the attack much more complicated. That&rsquo;s why I suggest deploying the dApp on at least three different blockchains. Of course, we can also deploy these dApps on more blockchains.</p>

<h2 id="proposalsummary">Proposal Summary</h2>
<p>This proposal seeks to open the discussion for deploying the Lotto multichain dApp on several Polkadot blockchains (parachains) and agree on the settings and the amount to allocate to the jackpot.<br /><br />Sample Proposal</p>
<ul>
<li>The dApp (<strong>Ink! smart contract</strong>) could be deployed on <strong>Astar Network</strong>. This way, the user can participate with a Substrate address / wallet.</li>
<li>
<p>The dApp (<strong>Solidity smart contract</strong>) could be deployed on <strong>Moonbeam</strong>. This way, the user can participate with an EVM address / wallet.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>We could setup the dApp with the following settings :<br />&nbsp;- The players will choose <strong>6 numbers between 1 and 50</strong>, <br />&nbsp;- Once a week, the winning numbers will be drawn automatically and in a decentrallized way by a smart contract deployed on <strong>Phala Network</strong>,</li>
<li>We could allocate a significant amount (<strong>10,000 or 100,000 DOT</strong>) for the jackpot. The jackpot will be transferred to the multisig, awaiting a winner. After one year, if there is no winner, the amount allocated to the jackpot will be returned to the treasury.</li>
</ul>
