Getting Started
Connect a wallet, deposit, read your tier status, withdraw, and claim.
1. Connect your wallet
- Open the Moocon app.
- Switch your wallet to Solana mainnet.
- Connect.
- Confirm you hold SOL for transaction fees.
On another network the app will not show your expected balances and transactions will fail.
2. Choose a vault
Each vault card shows the asset it accepts, both prize tiers with their cadence and countdown, and the current prize estimate for each. Pick the vault for the token you want to deposit.
The app is the source of truth for which vaults are live and what they accept.
3. Deposit
- Open the vault and stay on the Deposit tab.
- Enter an amount at or above the vault minimum, which the panel shows.
- Confirm the wallet transaction.
Depositing into the SOL vault wraps native SOL, and the same lamports also pay the transaction fee and token account rent. Keep at least 0.02 SOL back so the deposit can go through.
Once it confirms you hold pTokens, one per unit deposited.
4. Understand pTokens
Your pToken balance is your ticket weight.
- One whole pToken is one ticket.
- A larger balance means better odds.
- Minted on deposit, burned on withdrawal.
- Transferable, so the position moves with the tokens.
5. Read your tier status
Each tier on the vault card carries a badge for your wallet.
- You're in: you are in the set this tier would draw against now.
- Joining next round: you deposited mid-round; the next round counts you.
- Qualifies next cycle: the long tier requires holding across its whole window, and yours has not covered it yet. Keep holding and the next cycle counts you from its start.
- Deposit to enter: no position in this vault yet.
For how the tiers and their windows work, read How It Works.
6. Withdraw
- Open the same vault panel and switch to the Withdraw tab.
- Enter the pToken amount to redeem.
- Confirm the wallet transaction.
Burning pTokens returns the underlying token. There is no lockup and no protocol withdrawal fee; network fees are the whole cost. Yield already accumulated into a tier stays there for that tier's winner.
If the vault's position ever fails to cover every outstanding claim, redemption pays a proportional share rather than the full nominal amount. See Risks.
7. Claim prizes
When a draw settles and your wallet is the winner, the prize appears in the app to claim. It is paid as pTokens of the same vault, so it is already deposited and earning. An operator may also deliver it automatically if you already hold that vault's pTokens.
