PoolTogether Community Newsletter #1 🌊🏆
How To Deposit via MetaMask, Layer3 campaign, things to do with $POOL on Polygon & more.
Hey Poolers 🌊🏆
This was wild! A lot has happened during the last couple of days. Here's a little breakdown:
PoolTogether hit a huge milestone with over $1 million in weekly prices
Shortly after that a single prize of over $1 million was awarded in the sOHM Pool
V4 has launched - the new PoolTogether is here!
After bringing you up to speed with the PoolTogether V4 FAQ last week, we want to show you the process of a deposit via MetaMask this time.
What you need:
MetaMask browser extension or smartphone app
USDC in your MetaMask wallet
$MATIC or $ETH to cover network fees for 2 transactions
There are some faucets where you can pick up some $MATIC, if you don't have any. Check Matic.Supply, Gimlu or the Mac&CheeseFinance faucet.
Right now you have the possibility to deposit USDC on either Polygon or Ethereum. It doesn't matter which network you are depositing from, as V4 now has one big prize pool across all chains. If you're wondering where the other chains are - they will become available within the next couple of weeks.
You can access the new PoolTogether either via the tsunami banner on the website or by clicking this link.
Lets begin:
The first step is to connect your wallet. Make sure you are on the correct network.
In this case we select MetaMask, but you see you have a number of options to choose from.
Now your wallet should be connected. You can see the network you're on and the first few digits of your wallet address in the upper right corner.
Enter the amount of USDC you want to deposit, and click on Review deposit. Please bear in mind that the minimum amount is around 4 USDC.
A pop up will open and ask you to Confirm approval. Please do so, and confirm the transaction in your MetaMask. You can see the approval on Polygon cost me only around 0.0026 $MATIC.
Now you're nearly there. Just click on Confirm deposit, and approve the transaction in MetaMask to deposit and delegate your funds to PoolTogether.
Congrats, you're in the pool! 🎉 Your deposit is now eligible for all future prize drawings, until you choose to withdraw it again. It's like an eternal lottery ticket. Good luck! 🎟️🍀
Troubleshooting:
My transaction has failed. Try manually editing the gas price (not the gas limit) and set it up a little bit. Check if you have enough $MATIC to cover the overall gas fees. About 0.05 should be more than enough.
I can't see my odds. This is correct. It will be added to the UI soon.
I can't see the odds of the others. This is correct. It will be added to the UI soon.
I have more questions. Check the V4 FAQ or come ask in the #help channel on Discord.
Have any $POOL sitting around on Polygon?
Great, then you can do two things.
Deposit into the POOL pool on Polygon. You can access it here. The current weekly prize is 50 $POOL and it is shared across 30 winners! This is a No Loss situation! 🐟🐟🐟
Earn Liquidity Provider rewards on Sushiswap & Quickswap Rewards for POOL-WETH liquidity pools are live on both Sushiswap & Quickswap. Please make sure you know about the risks of providing liquidity and impermanent loss before jumping in!
Participate in the Layer3 campaign!
Layer3 is a new platform that lets you earn crypto bounties by doing sht*. The campaign is fully funded by PoolGrants and involves tasks like adding 🌊🏆 to your Twitter name, creating Memes or designing a PoolTogether hoodie. All tasks can be found here.
Discord Server Icon Contest
PoolTogether is moving fast, right? The discord icon was standing still, though. Because of this Mkkoll#2268 stepped in and hosted (& self-funded) a competition to create an animated discord server icon for PoolTogether. We've seen some crazy submissions over all, and it looks like it was totally worth it. Join us on Discord to see the winning submission of gwal#3558 in action.
