How Blink used Megapot to launch and acquire users

Case study · 2 minutes · Aug 2026

  • Fast integration: Blink's non-technical founder integrated Megapot in less than one day using llms.megapot.io.
  • Efficient acquisition: Around $500 in ticket incentives generated $20,000+ in deposits and redeposits.
  • Sustained engagement: Megapot gave users a reason to try Blink, with a cohort returning and redepositing daily for 14 consecutive days.

The Cold Start Problem

Blink is the one-tap deposit layer for onchain apps, which makes funding an account feel native.

Over the last few months, Blink focused on one question: how do you explain a product category that has never existed before?

Blink needed a first-deposit experience that was inexpensive, instantly understood, and compelling enough to complete.

Users should not have to read about one-tap deposits. They should experience one.

Megapot provided a compelling reason to deposit

  • Deposit $1 with Blink.
  • Receive a lottery ticket to win up to $220,000 (the compelling reason).

Built in Less Than One Day

Blink's non-technical founder completed the initial Megapot integration with Cursor in less than one day. All he had to do was point his LLM at llms.megapot.io, which had all the protocol information his LLM needed to start integrating.

Megablink: One Tap. Four Chances to Win.

Blink launched Megablink, a one-tap way to buy Megapot tickets.

In under a minute, a new user had completed Blink's core action, had been onboarded to Blink, deposited into Megapot, and received four chances to win the jackpot.

Blink then also offered eligible users another ticket for sharing their entry on X. The daily draw created a natural moment to return and deposit again.

Deposit, receive tickets, share for another ticket, return for the draw, deposit again.

$20k+ in Deposits from $500 in Incentive Cost: 40x ROI

"Megapot has brought us a lot of new people and a lot of new eyeballs."

Stephen E., co-founder at Blink

Why Megapot Works as an Incentive Layer

The incentive of tickets activated the product. Users earned their first ticket by completing Blink's core deposit action and onboarding.

The reward felt larger than its cost. Blink funded low-cost tickets while users received access to Megapot's headline prize. Referral earnings can offset the incentive cost over time.

The campaign had a return moment. The daily draw gave users a reason to reopen Megablink and enter again. Sharing and other actions that interact with Blink can also be rewarded, bringing high intent users back.

The Playbook for Other Apps

Invite to win, deposit to win, swap to win, and sign up to win, all tied to a $1M prize

Blink attached Megapot to a deposit. The same model can reward any valuable product action:

  • fund an account
  • complete a payment
  • make a swap or bridge
  • activate a new feature
  • refer another user
  • sell dust

The principle is the same: attach a chance to win a very large amount of money to the action that makes your product valuable, then use the draw to create a reason to return. Any user action can be rewarded with Megapot tickets.

Megapot app
is winding down

The Megapot app will shut down on December 1st, 2026. Please claim winnings and withdraw funds before then. The protocol will continue running.

Thank you for playing. Over $1 million of prizes were won, with 20 jackpots hit, by players from 100+ countries.

The team is going all in on Prizerail, a sweepstakes platform for trading apps and neobanks. We pivoted after seeing most of Megapot protocol volume coming from apps giving tickets away to reward actions in their product.
