PoolTogether Community Newsletter #29
Pooly NFT, Tools Site Updated, The Prize Pool Network, Bounties Recap, Karma <> PoolTogether & much more 🌊🏆
Hey Poolers,
I personally don’t know much about markets or investing, but I know that our community is at an all-time high. Swimming pools ain’t big enough for poolers, because we are shippiiiiiing!
That being said, I appreciate you all for being a part of this. Let’s filter through the noise with our weekly news splash! 💦
PoolTogether Inc launched the Pooly NFT 🦜
Chirp, chirp! For anyone in DeFi this isn’t news - PoolTogether Inc’s Pooly NFT launch has been making waves! Basically, every knowledgable news source in crypto reported about it: Defiant, Bankless Newsletter & Weekly Rollup, Blockworks, CoinDesk, DappRadar, and many others!
Pooly NFT is a project by PoolTogether Inc, the company that initially built the PoolTogether protocol and transferred the control of it to the community of token holders in February 2021. Funds raised from this NFT sale are used to support PoolTogether Inc in defending against a lawsuit. Here are the details.
Speaking for the PoolTogether community I can say: we love the birb!

Bounties Recap 🏗
3.5 weeks ago we launched the PoolTogether Bounties program with a full focus on community. Let’s do a quick recap on what has happened since then.
PTB-1 Unlocking PoolTogether Growth
The first PoolTogether Bounty had such an incredible outcome! 30 submissions by 21 contributors hit our Dework profile. The pure diversity of ideas is incredible and confirmed that the PoolTogeher hive mind is strong. In the end, the community awarded 10 winners!

Road to Optimism
The Bounties program turned out to be The Start of Something Great. It offers a space to provide some of our talented contributors with the right tools they need to collectively grow.
Five more bounties have been published to deploy PoolTogether on Optimism. It did not take long for some of PoolTogether’s core contributors and most involved community members to get down to work on the jobs: McOso, Max’, underthesea & drcpu!

Karma <> PoolTogether 🔄
Karma is building a reputation system for DAO contributors. They recently integrated PoolTogether as one of the first 25 protocols. Karma enables PoolTogether governance participants to view their activity and showcase their contributions. A leaderboard with top governance participants can be found here.
Karma offers a reputation system that considers a variety of governance metrics and can be customized to our needs. To find the right metrics to use Karma is looking for feedback from the PoolTogether community! Reach out to Noxe#1780

Dune Analytics 🧮
Thanks to the most decentralized member of our Community, you now have even more insight into the PoolTogether protocol and how it’s governed. Bronder built two separate Dune Analytics dashboards that help you to access and visualize all the data behind the POOL token and protocol governance.

New Grants Committee 🎓

A huge shoutout goes out to Oops and Gio for their contributions to PoolGrants so far.
PTIP-73 300k PTaUSDC for Project Optimism & Prize Reserves 🗳
In anticipation of the launch on Optimism PTIP-73 went to vote, ensuring the protocol has sufficient prize liquidity to award prizes across all chains. This proposal will move 300k PTaUSDC from treasury deposited V4 “sponsorship” to the prize reserves managed by the Executive Team. The PooTogether prize party continues as we expand to Optimism!
