Dear DeFi Landers,
The highly anticipated Mad Lads Raffle goes live on Monday, December 11, 3PM UTC. This is our biggest giveaway. Ever. Our legacy with the Mad Lads community began when we distributed 250 xNFT Backpack invite codes through our Play & Earn mechanics. Each invite code granted early access to the Backpack wallet and a whitelist spot for the Mad Lads NFT mint. In the end, we were unbelievably blessed by the value this opportunity produced for our community. Today, we are launching a campaign to give back even more to these partnered communities: Mad Lad #5351, valued over $25,000, will be the grand prize of our first Golden Raffle.
- Grand Prize: Mad Lad #5351
- Second Place: Three Mythic Alpaca NFTs
- Third Place: Four Baby Almighty Alpaca NFTs
- The Raffle will run from Monday, December 11 to Friday, December 15. Winners will be announced on our weekly Farmer’s Hall AMA in Discord.
Raffles were introduced to DeFi Land as the icing on the cake of our Play & Earn ecosystem. Raffles are a use-case for our ecosystem tokens ($GOLDY and $DFL) and a way to increase the rewards of our mini-games. The Golden Raffle system will raise the stakes even further. The raffle is a tier-based system:
- Tier 1 (200+ tickets) qualifies you for all prizes. You must reach Tier 1 to win the Mad Lad.
- Tier 2 (100–199 tickets) qualifies you for the mythic and baby alpacas.
- Tier 3 (0–99 tickets) qualifies you only for baby alpacas.
- You will purchase or earn golden tickets and redeem them in the Raffle House. Tickets can be purchased from the Raffle House for 2000 $GOLDY and 200 $DFL, or earned by playing DeFi Land mini-games with Gen-0 NFTs. A full guide to redeeming tickets will be provided below.
- To promote fairness, the Tier 1 winner will be randomly selected first. That winner will earn the Mad Lad and be excluded from winning the second and third place prizes. Then the second-place winner will be selected, and so on.
- If you have any questions on redeeming tickets, transferring between your global and in-game wallets, and the Tier-based raffle system, join our helpful community in Discord!
Redeeming your Golden Tickets
Golden tickets can be purchased in the DeFi Land Raffle House. Getting started as a DeFi Lander is as easy as connecting your wallet to play.defiland.app or accessing our xNFT in your Backpacks! You can purchase $GOLDY and $DFL on major marketplaces but hey, you’re in DeFi Land already so you might as well check out our powerful in-game market aggregator. Harness the power of protocols like Jupiter and Prism, and swap between any Solana tokens from the comfort of your farm.
To purchase raffle tickets, start by using the marketplace to swap for $GOLDY and $DFL. On the top right corner, you will find a button for in-game transfers. Use the wallet transfer menu option to swap between your digital wallet and your in-game wallet. Then head to the raffle house to purchase and redeem your Golden Tickets.
- Great but what happens with the $DFL and $GOLDY that team gathers?
- We burn it all!
Golden Tickets will also be added as random drops to your favorite DeFi Land mini-games starting tomorrow. You can hunt, fish, harvest, and pet your way to rewards! Then redeem your tickets in the Raffle House. Getting started playing DeFi Land is fun, and hunting down the Gen-0 NFTs that will earn you raffle tickets is just as exciting.
Here are a few guides to get you started:
- Play & Earn with Gen-0 NFTs
- Understanding rarity and attributes to find the best NFT on the market
- Purchase NFTs on Tensor, Magic Eden, and our homegrown marketplace
