Lucky8 is a lossless lottery built on the Radix network. Players stake a minimum of 1,000 XRD to the Lucky8 validator node, farm the project's native $LUCK token while staked, and become eligible for recurring XRD prize draws. Because the stake is never spent, participants can unstake their principal at any time – the "lossless" model – while their chance to win comes from the pooled staking rewards rather than from a ticket purchase.
How the lossless lottery works
Lucky8 funds its jackpots through its validator's fee: the node runs a 100% validator fee, so the emissions that would normally flow to stakers are instead directed into the Lucky8 prize pool. Delegators forgo ordinary staking yield and receive $LUCK tokens plus lottery entries in its place. On-ledger the validator holds 7,972,823.82 XRD at mainnet epoch 335,551 (16 August 2026), ranking 81st of the 188 registered validators and sitting inside the 100-strong active set with 0.167% of active stake; its recorded 30-day uptime was 75.15% when the Radix Dashboard was read on 17 July 2026. The validator is registered, accepts delegated stake, and its validator_fee_factor reads 1 – the full 100%, with no fee-change request pending.
The route from that fee to the prize pool is visible in the same substate. A validator fee is paid to the owner as stake units held in a locked owner vault, and Lucky8’s carries 1,116.43 of them against 26 queued withdrawals of roughly 1,400 units each – one requested about every 288 epochs, or once a day, and each unlocking some four weeks later, so that the queue runs out to epoch 343,385. A further 186,287.25 XRD sits in the validator’s pending withdrawal vault. The emissions a delegator gives up are not accumulating on the node; they are being unstaked in daily instalments.
$LUCK token
$LUCK is Lucky8's native token, farmed continuously by anyone staking XRD to the validator. $LUCK is spent to enter the larger periodic draws; the monthly draw advertises a minimum jackpot of 20,000 XRD and the yearly draw a minimum of 120,000 XRD, both paid in XRD.
Prizes and partners
Beyond the XRD jackpots, Lucky8 has partnered with a range of Radix NFT and community projects that contribute tokens and NFTs as supplementary prizes – including VikingLand, Radical Penguins, Radix Panda, RadHeads, Mutant Cat Society and Radix Frogz Society, among others.
How to play
Staking to Lucky8 uses the standard Radix flow: open the Radix Wallet, go to Stake, paste the Lucky8 validator address (validator_rdx1sw…ey6g7zam), delegate at least 1,000 XRD and confirm the transaction. Staked XRD immediately begins farming $LUCK and earning lottery entries; principal can be unstaked at any time subject to the network's unstaking delay.
