PollyPrize supports several types of on-chain gating to create exclusive raffles. Here are the requirements you might encounter:
  1. No Gating
    • Requirement: None! Anyone can enter (as long as the raffle is active and they meet other basic conditions like caps).
    • Check: The contract skips any gating check.
  2. Whitelist
    • Requirement: Your address must be part of a pre-defined list determined off-chain before the raffle started. This list is cryptographically secured on-chain using a Merkle Root.
    • Use Cases: Allowlisting specific users, snapshot holders from other chains, rewarding top weekly PP earners, partner community members.
    • Check: The dApp interface seamlessly provides a valid proof along with your transaction. The contract verifies this proof against the stored merkleRoot.
    • Delegation: For some Merkle-gated raffles, you might be able to enter using your current (e.g., Abstract) address if eligibility is based on a different linked address (e.g., your L1 wallet) for which you have proven delegation rights via a resolver contract. The dApp should guide you if this applies.
  3. VIP Status
    • Requirement: Your connected wallet must hold one of the specific VIP Tiers listed in the raffle’s requirements (e.g., “Silver VIP or higher”).
    • Check: The contract reads your current VIP status and compares it against the list of allowed VIP statuses configured for the raffle.
  4. ERC20 Token Balance
    • Requirement: Your wallet must hold at least a minimum amount of a specific ERC20 token (e.g., “Hold at least 10K $POLLY”).
    • Check: The contract calls the balanceOf function on the specified ERC20 token contract for your wallet address and compares it to the minBalance.
  5. ERC721 or ERC1155 NFT Holding
    • Requirement: Your wallet must hold at least a minimum number of NFTs from a specific ERC721 collection (e.g., “Hold at least 3 Ruyui NFTs”).
    • Check: The contract calls the balanceOf function on the specified ERC721 token contract for your wallet address and compares it to the minBalance (which represents the minimum count of NFTs needed).
  6. PP Balance
    • Requirement: Your PollyPrize account must have a minimum spendable PP balance.
    • Check: The contract calculates your current PP balance (total earned minus total spent) and compares it to the minXpRequired.
Always check the Raffle Detail page to see if a raffle is gated and what the specific requirements are!
In most cases, especially for free raffles, whitelist-based gating will be prefered to real-time checking of holdings. This is to prevent participants from sending their asset from wallet to wallet to get more tickets than allowed.
