PoolTogether Community Newsletter #28
Aave v3 Yield Source Integration, First Bounty live, Week 8 of Season 1 NFTs, Track your deposits on Apeboard & a lot more inside ๐๐
Hey Poolers,
it has been a troubled past few days in the crypto space and I hope you all managed to stay afloat! We have a helpful and caring community on Discord. Feel free to join and reach out if you have been affected and donโt feel well! Hereโs some of that No Loss community-wholesomeness delivered straight into your email inbox.
Markets go up and down, but PoolTogether works. Why? Because itโs secure and doesn't over-promise. It's simple to understand, easy to use, and quick to explain: It's a savings account - a powerful financial tool that helps to build healthy habits. ๐ฏ
That being said, I appreciate you all for being a part of this. Letโs filter through the noise with our weekly news splash! ๐ฆ
Aave v3 Yield Source Integration ๐ป
Code โ
Audit โ
Wen L2? ๐
Over the last year, PoolTogether has built a strong partnership with Code4rena. Code4rena is hosting regular audit contests for PoolTogether. This allows for a steady stream of new feature releases while being able to maintain the full security of the protocol.
The latest contest for the Aave v3 Yield Source Integration allows PoolTogether to update its deployments on Polygon but also opens up the door to other networks.

Governance Updates
Multi-Chain Governance
What started out on just Ethereum has turned into a true multi-chain protocol. PoolTogether allows the full spectrum from beginners, degens to OGs to easily safe money on a network that suits their needs. Thereโs one thing that complicates it currently: even though the POOL token is both on the Ethereum and Polygon networks, protocol governance so far only exists on Ethereum only.
To finally overcome that, Brendan (CTO of PoolTogether Inc.) has done intensive work on a new multi-chain governance system. What that means? True cross-chain voting, to enable POOL token voting on any chain that the protocol is on. Multi-Chain governance allows to easily capture and broadcast state updates of proposals and voting across multiple L2s or sidechains.
This governance architecture will not only benefit PoolTogether! Itโs meant to create a new community standard bringing the Ethereum community up to speed for a future with L2s. Ethereum Magicians - reach out to us on Discord!
Roll-up deployment - Temperature check
What does the community want first: More assets or more chains? This question is being asked by drcpu in a temperature check. The post sums up some discussions around the topic and invites us to think about the direction of PoolTogether in the near future.

PTIP-72: Single-sided POOL staking with IL protection on Bancor
Bancor DAO just recently voted to onboard the POOL token which resulted in an increase of POOL liquidity on Ethereum.
PTIP-72 seeks to deposit 100k POOL from the protocol treasury on Bancor 3, further deepening the liquidity of our token.

@PoolTogether_ Itโs because governance has always been very prudent on adding any kind of yield source and prioritized NO LOSS over flavor of the month with that guaranteed 20/30/3000% APY

Fun Fact: The @opensea underlying contracts (Wyvern) were first demo'd on @gitcoin roughly 4 years.
