A prize-linked savings protocol on Arbitrum where users deposit funds, withdraw anytime, and the generated yield funds automated prize draws, turning saving into a simple, gamified DeFi experience.
LukyPool is a prize-linked savings protocol built on Arbitrum designed for retail users.
Participants deposit funds that remain withdrawable at any time. Instead of earning small individual interest, the yield generated by the pooled deposits funds recurring prize draws. Users receive tickets proportional to their deposits, giving them chances to win prizes without risking their principal.
LukyPool focuses on retail-first usability, with clear participation mechanics, transparent prize probabilities, and automated prize distribution.
In addition to yield-funded prizes, LukyPool introduces sponsor-backed prize amplification, allowing protocols, brands, or ecosystems to fund additional rewards. This creates a model where LukyPool functions both as a savings product and as a community engagement and user acquisition channel.
The platform also introduces a gaming layer around tickets, enabling future mechanics such as ticket interactions, enhanced participation modes, and community-driven prize events.
The goal is to bring prize-linked savings on-chain in a format accessible to mainstream users.
<p>Prior to the hackathon, the LukyPool concept, architecture, and initial prototype had already been developed.</p><p>During the hackathon, the focus was on demonstrating the protocol in a live environment and validating the concept with the ecosystem.</p><p>Progress during this period included:</p><p>Preparing and presenting a working demo of the protocol</p><p>Refining the product architecture and system design</p><p>Improving the pitch and product narrative</p><p>Engaging with ecosystem participants and potential partners</p><p>Gathering feedback from builders and sponsors on the sponsor-backed pool model</p><p>The hackathon served as an opportunity to test the concept publicly and refine the positioning of LukyPool within the DeFi ecosystem.</p>
<p>LukyPool is currently bootstrapped by the founding team and has not yet raised external capital.</p><p>The project is focused on completing the MVP, validating the user experience, and establishing early ecosystem partnerships.</p><p>Following this stage, the team plans to pursue ecosystem grants, strategic partnerships, and early-stage investment to support security audits, protocol expansion, and broader adoption.</p>
