HOAG Network Launching on DropZone

A self-hosted video platform for every content creator

We’re excited to announce that on November 1, HOAG Network will be launching on DropZone!

Winners of the Media Network prize for Solana Season Hackathon, HOAG Network is a self-hosted video platform that empowers creators with Web3 features, micropayments, and NFTs. The Munk NFT will power the first native content inside HOAG Play, a decentralized media network with tokenized ownership and built-in incentives for users.

This article will cover the two sections: 1) the DropZone launch on Raydium 2) Drop Box redemption for an NFT.

1. HOAG Network’s Munk NFT DropZone launch:

DropZone Process Overview:

1. When the DropZone pool opens, users deposit SOL to enter tickets in the lottery for an NFT allocation.
2. Each winning ticket can claim a “Drop Box” token which represents one NFT allocation. Non-winning tickets claim back SOL.
3. Each Drop Box token can then be redeemed on the project’s website to mint one original NFT from the project collection at random.

• The pool will be open for 2 hours

How does it work?

Tickets: Users must deposit SOL for each ticket they wish to have entered.

2-day RAY staking deadline:

• Eligibility: At least 10 RAY staked in RAY single-sided staking prior to the 2-day staking deadline below and successful SOL deposit once the pool opens. RAY must remain staked until the pool opens.
• Lottery tickets: at least 1 ticket for the first 10 RAY staked, and additional tickets for 30, 50, 100, and 150 RAY staked based on the tiers below. Staking more than 150 RAY will still receive 5 tickets maximum.
• 2-day staking deadline: October 30, 12:00 UTC

*Reference: 100 RAY is the minimum staking requirement for 1 ticket in an AcceleRaytor IDO launch

15-day RAY staking deadline:

• To reward longer-term Raydium holders, users that are eligible for the 15-day deadline will receive additional tickets on top of any received for the 2-day deadline.
• Eligibility: At least 10 RAY staked 15 days prior to the 15-day staking deadline below and successful SOL deposit once the pool opens. RAY must remain staked until the pool opens.
• Lottery tickets: 1 ticket for each 50 RAY staked up to 250 RAY, in addition to tickets received for the 2-day staking deadline. As such, users who stake RAY for 15 days will be capped at a maximum of 10 tickets.
• 15-day staking deadline: October 17, 12:00 UTC (snapshot already taken)
• Example: Alice has had 500 RAY staked before the 15-day deadline. She will receive 10 tickets — 5 for the 2-day deadline 150 RAY max allotment, and an additional 5 for the 15-day deadline 250 RAY max allotment.

Example: Alice has 10 tickets as the above example. Bob staked 100 RAY before the 2-day deadline and will receive 4 tickets, 1 for 10 RAY staked, 1 for 30 RAY staked, 1 for 50 RAY staked and 1 for 100 RAY staked before the 2-day deadline.

Deposit: When the pool opens, users will need to deposit 1 SOL for each ticket for it to be counted in the lottery. Users can choose to deposit less than their total ticket allocation, however, tickets without a matching deposit will not be entered in the lottery. Deposits must be in multiples of 1 SOL.

• Alice deposits 8 SOL, even though she has 10 tickets, to ensure that 8 of her tickets are entered in the lottery. In Alice’s case only 8 tickets will be entered in the lottery. Bob deposits 4 SOL to ensure all of his tickets are entered in the lottery.

Lottery: Once the pool closes, the lottery will take place, and winning tickets will receive a Drop Box for 1 SOL, each. The Drop Box can be redeemed on the HOAG Network website for a random Munk NFT.

IMPORTANT: Drop Boxes must be redeemed on the HOAG Network Website by November 3, 14:00 UTC.

• Example: Alice has 3 winning tickets and will receive 3 Drop Boxes for 3 SOL. Bob has 1 winning ticket for 1 SOL.

Claim: Once the lottery is complete users will be able to claim their SOL for any tickets that did not win as well as claim their Drop Boxes for winning tickets. Users can then redeem their Drop Box on the HOAG Network website (details below).

• Example: Alice claims 5 SOL for her 5 non-winning tickets and Bob claims his 3 SOL for his 3 non-winning tickets. Alice claims her 3 Drop Boxes from Raydium and can immediately redeem her 3 Drop Boxes on the HOAG Network website for 3 NFTs or choose to trade her Drop Boxes on Serum and allow someone else to claim.

Lottery Transparency

The lottery will be done on-chain, with lottery numbers assigned to tickets in the order that users deposit in the pool. After the pool closes, winning numbers will be determined by hashing a block, multiplying it by the timestamp, and matching the last digits of that number with user ticket numbers. Any ticket number with the last digits matching is designated a winning ticket. This process will be repeated until all the winners are determined.

2. Drop Box redemption for a HOAG Network Munk NFT:

• After the DropZone lottery ends, users can claim their winning Drop Box.
• Users can then navigate to the HOAG Network website and immediately redeem their Drop Box for one Munk NFT.
• Drop Boxes must be redeemed on the HOAG Network Website by November 3, 14:00 UTC.

Note: Drop Boxes are transferable and tradable prior to redemption, but they must be redeemed for a Munk NFT by November 3, 14:00 UTC.
