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!

👉 Deposit now to earn $OP Rewards
👉 Get all information about Phase 2 in the Mirror article

PoolTogether on Optimism so far 📈

Here is a quick rundown of some numbers for you all:

  • $31.7m TVL

  • 6,465 depositors

  • 10,767 users all time

  • $75,000 in prizes

  • 192,500 $OP tokens distributed

Drop by our community Discord and help us in growing PoolTogether and prizes!

PoolTogether now featured in the Coinbase app 📲

PoolTogether is now available in the Coinbase app! This is a huge step forward as it’s allowing 98 million people to easily deposit into PoolTogether.

The Coinbase app lets you use PoolTogether without needing to store a private key, without needing to download a new app, and with your tokens from Coinbase.

Have a look at the article to learn how to:

  • activate your dApp wallet

  • buy assets

  • deposit into PoolTogether via Coinbase

PoolTogether Governance Overview 🏛

Governance is hot this week, so hop on our governance forum and get involved in the conversation!

  • The New PoolTogether DAO Part II: Team Compensation

  • A Foundation for Protocol Owned Liquidity

Two Snapshot proposals are up for voting right now:

  • PTIP-80: Extend ETH/POOL LP on Uniswap V2

  • Claim $OP tokens and delegate voting power to poolcollective.eth

All Ethereum POOL, Ethereum pPOOL, Polygon POOL & Polygon pPOOL holders are eligible to participate.

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:

👉 Browse all Delegate Proposals on the governance forum

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.

👉 Read the Governance Delegate & Voter guide

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!

DeFi Adoption is happening, you’re just not looking close enough. Today coinbase integrated one of my fav DeFi apps @PoolTogether_ and ppl can directly deposit from coinbase’s mobile app. 🥳 1.5 years ago, I kinda-sorta tweeted about this dream come true scenario 😉

"Protocol Sink Thesis" (as explained by @BanklessHQ ) 👉 Centralized exchanges like Coinbase have user funds collecting dust, why not lend them on existing de-cen. protocols and make them + their customers ROI? "crypto banks" like Coinbase, might become biggest users of DeFi https://t.co/GD1gOU3Dov
