Helio is the leading web3 payments platform that has helped thousands of creators including Marms, Hashlings, and BoDoggos generate millions in revenue through NFT Pre-Sales. The new Raffles feature on Helio and Magic Eden democratises hyped Pre-Sales by ensuring fair and transparent allocation of spots across communities.

How Raffles Work

Creators allocate a limited supply of their NFT collection to one or more communities for pre-sales, as usual.

Unlike the usual first-come-first-serve approach, the new Raffles feature ensures a level playing field by offering members of the community an equal opportunity to secure a Pre-Sale spot through a simple, free raffle entry.

The Raffle can be adjusted as needed, for example, gating access by Discord role, limiting it to one entry per user, setting quantity limits, and countdowns as well as Helio’s existing advanced features.

After the raffle ends, the system automatically selects winners and adds their wallets to the allowlist. Winners are immediately notified and can then proceed to purchase the pre-sale.

Why Raffle NFT Pre-Sale Spots?

Raffles create a fair allocation process, offering equal chances for all community members to secure a Pre-Sale spot.

  • Participants can join at any time without worrying about time zones.
  • The selection process is random, eliminating any advantage for early participants.
  • No early access for collab managers ensuring an unbiased distribution process.

The Raffles feature is available across Solana, Ethereum, Bitcoin, and Polygon, providing a seamless Pre-Sale experience across major blockchains and enabling creators to reach more communities to sell more with crypto.

Empowering Communities

Raffles guarantee that every participant has an equal chance to access Pre-Sales, promoting fairness and transparency in the distribution process. This approach not only simplifies the allocation process but also cultivates a sense of equality among community members, laying the groundwork for a stronger community in the future.
