I’m excited to share a sleek new way to explore Ethereum dApps— **ETH Shot**, a minimalist, fun, and open‑source jackpot game built for testnet play.

### How It Works

* Connect your wallet on Sepolia or Goerli (no real ETH required).
* **0.0005 test‑ETH per “shot”**, with a **1 % chance to win the entire pot**.
* If you win, you receive **90 % of the pot instantly**; the remaining 10 % supports the platform.
* There’s a **1‑hour cooldown** between shots per wallet.([ETH Shot][1], [Hacker News][2], [GitHub][3], [ETH Shot][4])

### Features at a Glance

* **Transparent & Fair**: Powered by verifiable smart contracts; view the code and all transactions on-chain.([ETH Shot][4])
* **Open Source & Lightweight**: Built with <80 lines of Solidity and a Svelte frontend for clarity and simplicity.([Hacker News][2])
* **Real-Time Engagement**: Live pot updates, leaderboards, referral discounts, sponsor rounds, and celebratory animations like confetti add to the experience.([GitHub][3])

### Why This Matters

* **Low-cost onboarding** to blockchain-based gaming—ideal for new developers or curious users.
* A great sandbox for **testing UX flows, smart contract logic, randomness, and gas optimizations**.([Hacker News][2])
