PoolTogether Community Newsletter #20
Orange Wallet Integration, Security Audit by DeFi Safety, Pool Trivia on Sunday, Real Vision Interview, Updates on PoolGrants, the Governance Forum & the PoolTogether Community,
Hey Poolers,
The world is still in shambles, but I’m here to get your week started right. Let’s go: V4 broke 35 Million in TVL, we flipped V3, entering the pool has never been easier before, and PoolTogether still has the most wholesome community.
Orange Wallet Integration 🟠
Orange Wallet just made using PoolTogether full-on boomer-proof. You can now frictionlessly join the PoolTogether V4 pool on your Android smartphone.
Orange wallet basically offers everything you need for your (or your non-crypto friend’s) DeFi adventures from within the App: You can bridge funds between networks, buy tokens with your credit or debit card without an exchange in-between, and even have the option to receive some MATIC from their faucet to cover for the Polygon transaction fees.
This makes Orange Wallet one of the easiest ways to participate in Prize Savings and for me personally the go to Android app to onboard beginners.
New Independent Security Audit by DeFi Safety
Financial safety is at the core of PoolTogether’s values. The newly published security audit by DeFi Safety confirms this with a 94% score - that’s the 3rd best rating on DeFi Safety of all time.

DAOing it with Communities — PoolGrants Q3M3
PoolGrants does an awesome job in keeping us up to date on their doings. This month’s grants were all about communities and building through the power of delegation. From Valentine’s Day celebrations to exploring NFT partnerships, we’ll be delegatooors to support communities of all kinds.
PoolTogether Community Update 🌱
The PoolTogether community isn’t just constantly growing, its members are also constantly building. To summarize the last two months and reflect on what happened I’ve posted the first PoolTogether Community Update.
The updates will now happen monthly. Reach out if you want to collaborate on any of the projects or have ideas on how to improve the updates.

Reminder: 22 Pool Stories 💌
We all agree that PoolTogether has managed to change many lives around the world. A little while ago we collected stories from the Poolers that are driving the protocol. If you haven’t read the article covering 22 of those stories so far, you should do it now!
Governance Forum Update 🏛️
Token holders have voted on four PTIPs via Snapshot within the last week. PTIPs 57, 58, 59 and 60 all passed with full approval.
After Polygon POOL holders were able to signal a vote for the first time last week, PTIP-60 now also added Polygon Prize Pool Tickets to the PoolTogether Snapshot.
PTIP-56 and PTIP-61 are both still open for comments and discussion:
