This is a very unique system and is expected to attract new users.
Collaboration with other characters on the Solana ecosystem might make the protocol grow.
BTW, one quick question.
How will the team make a profit to sustainably operate this windfall?
I think you will adopt a fee model, but what percentage of fees do you expect?
Thanks!

Thank you for your practical business perspective comments.
We are considering three main monetization points.
- Validator Operation:
- Allocate the $SOL collected through custom LST to our own validator for staking
- Fees from DeFi investment returns:
- Collect 10-20% of the DeFi returns from users’ deposited $SOL (including stablecoins in the future) as operational fees
- In-App purcases:
- User charges through game restarts and lottery redraws

Last week, we posted an overview of Windfall (ref), and it received more attention than we expected.
We even got a comment from Toly (ref).
Excluding bots, the waitlist has surpassed 20k.
We will continue to maintain this attention and push forward with development at a fast pace.
Thank you for your continued support.

Great update South!
With regards to value accrual to CLOUD, I was wondering what your thoughts are in respect to whether windfall will have a utility token?
Furthermore, I was wondering what the project roadmap is thus far and where CLOUD community can do things with Windfall?

Thank you for your question!
With regards to value accrual to CLOUD, I was wondering what your thoughts are in respect to whether windfall will have a utility token?
Our project is rooted in Sanctum’s LST, so we want to foster a win-win relationship with the community. In other words, we are committed to increasing the value of the CLOUD token.
We have plans to issue our own utility token and a continuous Airdrop Program mainly based on service usage. For example, if future INF allocations are partially determined by CLOUD token voting, it makes sense to prepare airdrop distribution slots for those who vote for windSOL allocation.
Also, this is somewhat meta, but we are pioneers as a Gaming-based LST, and we believe that the success of our project will act as a catalyst to attract developers for similar use cases in the future. We think that builders gathering around Sanctum will indirectly have a positive impact on the CLOUD token as well.
Moreover, we will actively work on improving the efficiency of LST operations using Fragmetric and iLoop. We believe that the results of these efforts can certainly be applied to other LST projects as well, so we see significance in expanding the use cases for LSTs.
Furthermore, I was wondering what the project roadmap is thus far and where CLOUD community can do things with Windfall?
We plan to launch the alpha version to coincide with the start of Sanctum’s Season 2. Although the exact timing is still undetermined, we are proceeding with the expectation that it will be around early December.
After that, we plan to gradually increase the variety of games while also working on improving the efficiency of LST operations using the aforementioned Fragmetric and iLoop.

I would love to see this happen.
But I have a suggestion for you. Please don’t make another boring tap-tap telegram bot game.
User’s are sick of it, make something good something interesting.
Where people come for great gaming experience and fun not for airdrop and some quick money.

Of course, we won’t do anything as boring as that. We refuse to create unfair games where those with time, the ability to build bots, or the means to spend large sums of money always win. Instead, we will provide a fair game where the outcome is determined purely by ‘luck,’ carefully designed with features and aesthetics that evoke a sense of excitement and thrill.
