Ton Raffles: Raffles on TON

NFT projects on TON hand out whitelist spots, discounts and whole NFTs to people active in their communities. Tracking those giveaways across a dozen channels is exhausting. Ton Raffles gathers them in one place: the bot opens access to a raffle platform in the TON ecosystem. 💎

Below: what a blockchain raffle is, how to join one and where the risks hide.

What gets raffled

The bot's description says a raffle gives a chance to win a WL, a discount or an entire NFT among active blockchain users. A WL (whitelist) is a list of addresses allowed to buy an NFT collection before everyone else or at a special price.

Project creators use raffles to draw community attention. Participants get a shot at a prize, and the project grows its audience. The winner is chosen at random.

The organizer sets the entry rules

A raffle author can set conditions: follow a channel, own a certain NFT, hold a certain token. Always read them before joining.

If you must connect a wallet to take part, that is a standard way to confirm eligibility. But never sign a transaction you don't understand. 🔍

Joining step by step

1. Launch the bot. Press /start and open the platform's app.
2. Choose a raffle. Check the prize, the deadline and the entry conditions.
3. Vet the organizer. Find their official channel and compare the project name.
4. Meet the conditions. A subscription, an NFT you hold, or another requirement from the description.
5. Wait for results. Results are published after the raffle's deadline.

Where the catch is: crypto raffle risks

• Fakes. Scammers copy the names and design of popular platforms. Enter through a link from the official channel.
• Seed phrase. No honest raffle asks for your wallet's secret phrase. If you see such a request, close the page.
• Suspicious signatures. If your wallet asks you to sign an operation that moves funds, read exactly what you are confirming.
• Prize value. A WL or NFT prize guarantees no profit: its market price can fall.

Is the raffle honest

A good sign: the organizer publishes the rules, the deadline and the number of prizes in advance, then shows the results after the finish. If conditions change midway or winners are never announced, stay away.

Don't count on winning: odds in a mass raffle are slim. Join out of interest in the project. 🎲

A separate wallet for experiments

For raffles and new projects, set up a separate wallet and keep a small sum on it. Store your main funds elsewhere.

It is a simple habit that prevents most trouble: even after a mistake, only a small part is at stake. 🛡

What the platform offers beyond raffles

The project team also develops other tools in the ecosystem: launching NFT collections, token distributions and staking. Check the terms of each tool in the platform's app and the official channels.

Treat any promise of returns with caution and do your own research. Information about crypto projects is not financial advice. 📚
