Tickets
Ooooo that Shiny Godlike Ticket!
Tickets are NFTs that allow you to participate in Aavegotchi Raffles to win prizes.
This page is primarily historical reference for the Polygon-era FRENS ticket flow. FRENS was sunset in 2022. The current staking system on Base uses LP staking to earn GLTR.
Purchasing Tickets
During the FRENS era, once you had enough FRENS, you could use the Shop Bulk Buy user interface to purchase tickets with FRENS.
Unlike FRENS, Tickets can be transferred from one wallet to another. They can also be bought/sold on secondary marketplaces such as the Baazaar.
The current supply of Tickets can be determined using the OpenSea Polygon interface here.
There are two main categories of tickets:
- Raffle Tickets
- Drop Ticket
Raffle tickets can be subdivided into six different subcategories, ranging from Common (least valuable) to Godlike (most valuable). These are used to participate in Wearable Raffles or Aesthetica Raffles.
On the other hand, Drop Tickets are used to participate in NFT Raffles to win Portals and REALM Parcels.
| Category | FRENS Required | Image |
|---|---|---|
| Common | 50 FRENS |  |
| Uncommon | 250 FRENS |  |
| Rare | 500 FRENS |  |
| Legendary | 2500 FRENS |  |
| Mythical | 10000 FRENS |  |
| Godlike | 50000 FRENS | |
| Drop Ticket | 10000 FRENS |  |

Users are allowed to buy tickets belonging to different categories in a single transaction. You do not need to create separate buy transactions for each category of raffle ticket.
Entering Raffles
A raffle runs for a period of time. During this period, you can submit your tickets for a chance to win prizes. Submitting tickets into the draw involves a transaction on Polygon; it is not done automatically. If you have many different categories of raffle tickets and wish to enter them together as a bundle, this is also possible. You do not need to create separate transactions for entering each category of tickets into the raffle.
When the raffle is over, you can find out what prizes you have won and can claim them.
If you choose not to participate in a given Raffle, you do not need to do anything with your tickets. You can also accumulate tickets for subsequent raffles if you like to do so.
As an example, the first wearable raffle had a Chainlink Theme. Here were the prizes for the raffle:
A total of 6010 prizes.
Each prize will be allocated to a randomly drawn raffle ticket, where each ticket has an equal chance of winning.
You can improve your probability of winning by:
- Submitting multiple tickets
- Enter raffle ticket categories with more prizes (e.g. Common)
Random numbers for the Raffle prize winners are generated through Chainlink's on-chain verifiable randomness generator.
After the raffle has concluded, winners can claim their prizes on Polygon.
