Play Megapot, Fund Ethereum: Announcing Our Protocol Guild Partnership

Ethereum's core developers are chronically underfunded. Megapot wants to help change that. Through a new partnership with Protocol Guild, every ticket purchased or new user who joins via their dedicated page routes 100% of referral fees directly to the 190+ contributors building and maintaining Ethereum's infrastructure. Megapot takes none of it.

Who Is Protocol Guild

Protocol Guild is a collective of 190+ Ethereum contributors working across 47 core repositories. These are the people maintaining the infrastructure that Megapot, and the entire Ethereum ecosystem, runs on.

“Getting consistent funding to Ethereum protocol stewards is a critical and growing challenge. We're excited to see how this novel Megapot integration will raise the bar on how apps can support the infra they depend on!” says Trent Van Epps of Protocol Guild. According to their research, core developers earn roughly 50% below market rate to maintain software that secures hundreds of billions in value. Protocol Guild exists to close that gap, and has distributed over $37M to contributors so far.

How it works

Protocol Guild now has a dedicated Megapot page. Every ticket purchased through that page routes all referral fees to the Guild. Every new player who arrives through that page becomes part of Protocol Guild's referral network permanently, so the funding compounds as the community grows. Protocol Guild's member allocations are fully transparent and onchain, so anyone can verify exactly how funds are distributed across contributors.

The bigger picture

Megapot's composable architecture creates a new primitive for programmable funding infrastructure. Any organization, whether funding open source development, educational causes, or local community programs, can launch a page, plug into Megapot's compliance and technical infrastructure, and receive ongoing support from players who care about their mission.

State lotteries have always claimed to fund good causes. The difference here: you choose the cause.
