FOOM APY
See Lottery's live FOOM balance, total tickets, and APY history below. Track how rewards and participation evolve over time.
By investing, you help ensure the sustainability of prize payouts while earning a share of the platform's fees. This feature enables community members to participate in the lottery's profits passively. Investments are handled via smart contracts for security and transparency.
Why Invest?
Community Benefits
Boost the lottery's stability and share in 4% of all prize fees.
For Winners
Reinvest to grow winnings or cover costs.
Passive Income
Earn from the platform's growth without active play.
Investing is open to anyone, including lottery winners who can reinvest their prizes immediately. This allows winners to "park" their winnings in the pool to potentially offset withdrawal costs or grow their returns over time.
Investment Fee
- • A one-time 5% fee is deducted upon deposit.
- • This mirrors the lottery winning fee structure and supports the ecosystem without duplication for reinvested wins.

What is the Liquidity Pool?
The liquidity pool (or treasury) is a collective fund in the FOOM smart contract that supports the lottery's operations. It serves two main purposes:
- Funding Prize Payouts: When players win, prizes are drawn from this pool if the immediate prize pot from bets is insufficient.
- Recycling Losses: Funds from losing bets are added back to the pool, helping it grow over time.
The lottery is primarily self-funded through players' losses, but investors are crucial for boosting the pool's size during low-activity periods or high-payout scenarios. This ensures the platform remains liquid and reliable.
How Investors Earn Returns
As an investor, you earn passive income from the lottery's activity:
Fee Structure on Lottery Wins
When a player wins and claims a prize, a 5% fee is taken from the payout:
- • 1% goes to the relayer (covering operational costs like gas fees for anonymous withdrawals)
- • 4% is distributed to the investor pool
- Your Share: The 4% fee is allocated proportionally among all investors based on their contribution to the total liquidity pool. Higher lottery activity leads to higher fees and better returns.
- Calculator Tool: Use the investor calculator on the "transfer" subpage to estimate your earnings. Yields depend on overall participation—low activity means lower fees.
This model lets the community share in the lottery's profits. For example, a winner could invest their prize, wait for fees to accrue, and withdraw more than their original amount, effectively compensating for withdrawal fees or profiting further.
Waiting Periods
- • Withdrawals are processed in periods of 16,384 blocks
- • On Base: Approximately 2 seconds per block (faster processing, subject to change)
- • On Ethereum Mainnet: Approximately 12 seconds per block
- • You must wait for the current period to end before finalizing a withdrawal
This helps manage liquidity and prevent rapid drains.
Privacy and Security
- • All investments and withdrawals use zk-SNARKs for on-chain anonymity
- • Your original wallet is never linked to your investment or earnings
- • The system is bot-friendly and audited, with a $500,000 bug bounty
- • Smart contracts are open-source for transparency
Risks include: Smart contract vulnerabilities, ETH/FOOM volatility, and dependency on lottery activity for returns. Always invest only what you can afford to lose.
Limitations if Insufficient Liquidity
- • If the contract lacks sufficient FOOM tokens (e.g., due to recent large payouts), you can only withdraw up to 50% of your investment immediately
- • To access the full amount, wait for the pool to replenish through:
- - Players losing bets (adding to liquidity)
- - New investments, such as winners reinvesting
