I’m excited to shareve been working on a sleek new way to explore Ethereum dApps— **small but fun open-source project called ETH Shot**, a minimalistjackpot game that runs entirely on Ethereum testnets. It’s designed to be simple, funfair, and open‑source jackpot game builta great sandbox for testnet playexperimenting with blockchain gaming.

---How it works:
Each “shot” costs 0.0005 test ETH. You have a 1% chance to win the entire pot. If you win, you instantly get 90% of the pot. The other 10% supports the platform. There’s a 1-hour cooldown between shots per wallet.
### How It Works
Why it’s interesting:
* Connect your walletIt’s fully transparent—everything runs on Sepolia or Goerli (noverifiable smart contracts. It’s open source and lightweight—under 80 lines of Solidity with a Svelte frontend. It’s live and interactive, with real ETH required)-time pot updates, leaderboards, referral bonuses, sponsor rounds, and fun animations.
* **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.Why it matters:
* ThereIt’s a **1‑hour cooldown** between shots per walletan easy and low-cost way for people to explore blockchain gaming.([ETH Shot][1] Good for testing UX flows, [Hacker News][2]smart contract randomness, [GitHub][3], [ETH Shot][4])and gas efficiency. No gatekeepers—anyone can review or contribute to the code.

---How to try it:

### Features at a Glance

* **Transparent & Fair**: Powered by verifiable smart contracts; view the code and all transactions on-chain.([ETH Shot][4])

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 security or randomness improvements you’d suggest?

### Open Questions for the Community

* Thoughts on the **1 % success rate**—should it adjust based on pot size or activity?
* Feedback on **onboarding flow**, UI/UX, and overall feel.
* Any security concerns or improvements—especially around randomness, cooldowns, and potential attack vectors.
