Hey nostr!
I’ve launched ETH Shot, a simple, provably-fair jackpot game that now runs on Ethereum mainnet. It’s designed to be fun, transparent, and easy to play, while also serving as a lightweight example of on-chain gaming.
How it works:
Connect your wallet to Ethereum mainnet. Each “shot” costs 0.0005 ETH. You have a 1% chance to win the entire pot. If you win, you instantly receive 90% of the pot. The other 10% supports the platform. There’s a 1-hour cooldown between shots per wallet.
Why it’s interesting:
It’s fully transparent—every action is handled by verifiable smart contracts. It’s open source and lightweight—under 80 lines of Solidity with a Svelte frontend. It updates in real time with pot size, leaderboards, referral bonuses, sponsor rounds, and celebratory animations.
Why it matters:
It’s an easy, low-cost way to explore blockchain-based gaming with real ETH. It’s a great example for developers interested in on-chain randomness, gas optimization, and game design. It’s permissionless—anyone can review or contribute to the code.
How to try it:
Connect your wallet to Ethereum mainnet. Visit ethshot.io. Take your shot, check the leaderboard, and share feedback or open GitHub issues.
I’d love to hear from the community: Should the 1% win rate change based on pot size or activity? How’s the onboarding flow and UI? Any suggestions for improving fairness or gameplay?
Let’s make this a fun way to play, test, and maybe win some real ETH.

testing zaps for this note… your profile only specifies a nip05 nostr address, but not a lightning address, so we tried to zap your nip05 address.... we made six attempts to⚡zap this note, at chovy@nostr.fan, over a period of 6 minutes. in each case, we found that your lightning address service or server did not respond correctly. if you wanted to fix this... you could try getting a free rizful lightning address --
... if u get it set up, pls reply here so we can do this ⚡zap test again.
