Fixed-price raffle entries. Transparent token flows.

The entry price is simple: one raffle entry costs $0.05.

The price is fixed in the raffle contract. There is no admin function intended to change it, and the cost does not increase with the value of the prize. Whether a raffle features an entry-level collectible or a major NFT, the base entry price remains the same.

Entries are purchased using $PLATY.

The platform still displays the cost in dollars. At the time of entry, it calculates the amount of $PLATY required at the current market rate. This keeps the experience understandable: users see a five-cent entry rather than having to calculate what a changing number of tokens is worth.

In short

• The platform quotes every entry at $0.05.
• The user pays the equivalent value in $PLATY.
• The token amount can change with the market price, but the dollar-denominated entry price does not.

The system has two independent economic streams:

• Revenue from raffle entries.
• Fees generated when $PLATY is traded.

Each stream has its own destinations. Neither is designed to pass through a discretionary treasury wallet before being allocated.

Stream A: Raffle-entry revenue

Every $PLATY payment used for an official raffle entry is split immediately:

The burn is not a future buyback promise. It is not kept aside for a later decision. The tokens are destroyed as part of the entry flow.

The remaining 30% is divided across the full collection of 1,999 Platypus NFTs every 24 hours. If one wallet holds multiple Platypuses, it receives the corresponding share for each NFT it holds.

Stream B: $PLATY trading fees

$PLATY has a 3% tax on buys and a 3% tax on sells.

Every trading-fee dollar is divided equally:

The first half rewards qualifying users in proportion to the points they earned during each 24-hour epoch. The second half restocks the raffle board with NFTs that people can compete to win.

These streams perform different jobs

The points system tracks economic activity in dollars, not the number of tokens someone happens to hold.

One point costs one cent of raffle-entry activity.

Because one entry costs $0.05, every paid entry earns:

This makes the system consistent even if the market price of $PLATY changes. Five dollars of qualifying entry activity produces the same number of points regardless of how many tokens were required to pay for it.

Why points count only on official Platypus raffles

Platypus NFT holders can create raffles, but creator raffles do not generate leaderboard points.

This restriction is deliberate.

If points counted on every user-created raffle, a creator could list an NFT to themselves, buy their own entries, recover most of the pot as the creator, potentially win their own prize, and manufacture points at far less cost than a genuine participant.

That would allow artificial activity to overtake honest users without taking comparable economic risk.

For that reason, leaderboard points count only on official raffles operated by Platypus Inc.

The leaderboard has no top 10, top 20 or top 30 payout cutoff.

Every 24 hours, the reward pool is divided by all qualifying points earned during that epoch. This produces one transparent price per point:

A qualifying wallet's payout is then calculated as:

Everyone receives the same value per point. A wallet with 50,000 points receives ten times as much as a wallet with 5,000 points because it contributed ten times the qualifying activity, not because it belongs to a special tier.

Why there is no cutoff

A top-N cutoff creates an arbitrary cliff. A wallet finishing 30th might be paid while the wallet finishing 31st receives nothing, even if only a few points separate them. The result could also depend on the exact second at which the epoch closes.

It would additionally encourage users to divide activity across multiple wallets to occupy more paid positions.

A proportional model removes both problems. Splitting 10,000 points across five wallets produces the same total payout as keeping all 10,000 points in one qualifying wallet.

Worked example

• You buy 2,000 entries.
• At $0.05 each, you spend $100.
• You earn 10,000 points.
• Everyone else earns 400,000 points.
• The leaderboard pool for the epoch is $5,000.

Total points equal 410,000, so:

Your illustrative payout would be:

In this example, $100 of entries returns $121.95 from the leaderboard, producing a net difference of $21.95 before gas and any other costs.

Payouts accrue before withdrawal

Leaderboard rewards accrue to the user's platform balance rather than arriving as many small wallet transfers. Users can withdraw when the accumulated amount is worth the network fee.

Holding is the qualification

A wallet may still appear in the points ranking without holding a Platypus NFT, but it does not qualify for the leaderboard payout. Holding at least one Platypus is the requirement that activates the reward.

There are 1,999 Platypus NFTs. Within the $PLATY ecosystem, holding one connects three utilities.

For example, if the platform records 50,000 paid entries in one day:

• Total entry revenue: 50,000 × $0.05 = $2,500
• Burned at 70%: $1,750
• Allocated to NFT holders at 30%: $750
• Illustrative amount per Platypus: $750 ÷ 1,999 ≈ $0.375

If that exact activity level remained unchanged for 365 days, the mathematical annual total would be approximately $136.94 per Platypus. That is only a calculator example, not a promise that activity, token price or distributions will remain constant.

The $PLATY economy is designed as a connected activity loop:

• People use $PLATY to enter raffles.
• Seventy percent of entry revenue is burned.
• Thirty percent is distributed to Platypus NFT holders.
• $PLATY trading fees acquire new raffle prizes and fund the points pool.
• New prizes bring participants back to the platform.

Every arrow is intended to be funded by the step before it.

The design does not depend on promising a fixed payout regardless of usage. If activity declines, the amount burned, the holder distribution and the leaderboard pool all decline with it. If the platform grows, those same activity-linked figures can grow.

The economic loop matters only if the underlying raffle is verifiable.

Platypus raffles use randomness from drand, a public randomness beacon operated by a distributed network with no connection to Platypus Inc.

The beacon's signature is verified on-chain before a winner is selected. This means the team cannot choose, replace or influence the winning wallet before or after the draw.

The NFT prize is held in escrow by the raffle contract from the moment the raffle is created. Once the draw is complete, the prize is released only to the wallet selected by the verified result.

The entries, randomness and final selection can be reproduced from public blockchain data.

In simple terms

• The prize is secured before users enter.
• Entries close when the timer ends.
• Public randomness determines the result.
• The contract verifies the randomness on-chain.
• The selected wallet receives the prize.
• Anyone can audit the draw independently.
