Sup poolers,

Can you smell the mainstream? PoolTogether is good for everyone. It allows anyone to have a rewarding DeFi experience with no strings attached. That being said: Here is your weekly opportunity to be optimistic about being a Pooler:

More Optimism Rewards! 🔴

The Optimism Rewards program is still going on. That means, every week the protocol is giving out 27,500 $OP tokens on top of the $33,614 in prizes. So we don’t just have thousands of winners every week, but also guaranteed rewards for all depositors on Optimism! That’s insane!

PoolTogether Governance Delegates

Are you a Pool Hodler but active participation in governance isn’t for you? There can be many legitimate reasons for that. You can still help to maintain a healthy governance system! Please delegate your voting power to an active governance delegate so they can vote on your behalf.

Governance delegates can announce themselves on the PoolTogether governance forum. If you are interested in governing the protocol on behalf of others, please announce yourself on the link below:

Governance Delegate & Voter Guide

Voting, delegation, governance - ok - but how does this all work at PoolTogether? If that’s a question that could come from you I have just the right guide for you.

Community Vibes ✨

Introducing Discord forums & Pool Parties 🥳

You might have already seen the new forums category on the PoolTogether Discord server. Are you still wondering what they are and how to use them? Let me explain…

What are Discord forums?
Forums are a place for more structured conversations. Forum Channels are designed to allow conversations to coexist in an easy-to-navigate list.
While the governance forum focuses on making discussions around changes to the protocol, the governance process, and important announcements, the Discord forums are centered around the community.

The forums category on PoolTogether discord holds two different forums:

#forums as a general place for long-form discussions in an organized way
#poolparties as a curated area for events, games, meetups and other community spaces.

We are still experimenting with the feature, so come, help us test and share your feedback!
