Details
Type, title, description
Individual or Team. Title should name the prize (e.g. Discord Nitro · 1 year). Description is optional rules or context.
Winners and end date
How many win. Optional Split into GTD / FCFS. End date: pick a date or a preset (12h, 1d, 2d, 7d). On phone, use − / + next to winners, then tap outside.
Wallet chain
ETH / EVM, Solana, or Bitcoin — only needed if you add a wallet gate.
Team raffle: pick one or more teams — Tessera creates one raffle per team. Apply a team template to pre-fill that team’s requirements. Per team: template, title, winners, banner. Shared: description, end date.
After you create
You get a public URL. Copy it, or Post to Discord if the bot and channel are set.
The path comes from the title. Reusing a title after a delete still makes a new raffle with a new entry list.
