PoolTogether Community Newsletter #9
DAO Onboarding Call, Avalanche Awaits, Luckiest Draw, El Show de Richard, Treasury WG, Marketing WG & much more!
Hey Poolers ๐๐
We're nearing 2022 and it feels like our community wants to get some stuff done before end of the year. Over the last 30 days alone our governance forum had 24 active topics, 487 posts and 152 active users, giving out 697 likes. If you're reading this: join the discussion and help steer the ship! We have an exciting voyage in front of us.
First DAO Onboarding Call on Wednesday! ๐
Do you want to know how to get started in the PoolTogether DAO? Join Leighton and me (Tjark ๐) in our DAO's very first Onboarding Call.
This is one of the many projects we will be launching to make the DAO more accessible and contributing easy for everyone. We aim to answer all questions starting from what a DAO actually is, going over PoolTogether and its values, and get you up to speed on how to contribute yourself.
The Onboarding Call will take place at 5pm UTC (12pm EST, 6pm CET, 2am CST) on the PoolTogether Discord server. Head over to the #events
channel to set a reminder! โฐ
Avalanche awaits! ๐บ
PoolTogether V4 is enabling the protocol to be truly cross-chain and have one connected Prize Pool Network across all EVM compatible blockchains. Thatโs a feature we need to put to use! PTIP-51 has been created to authorize the deployment on Avalanche. Check out the PTIP to find out about the motivation why Avalanche is a logical next step.
The Luckiest Draw Has Been Drawn! ๐๐
Hot from the presses: We have a new draw taking the first place in the category luck. No less than five $2500 prizes were awarded in draw 54 [1] with almost $24k worth of claimable prizes in total that draw.
The data files up to draw 56 and added a column indicating the unclaimed prizes [2]. For example, for draw 1, a little over $7000 has not been claimed yet and this will soon roll over.

[2] Amounts per Draw
Huge thank you to our data genius drcpu, and always remember:

Treasury Working Group: Analysis of the Fei Protocol <> Ondo Finance LaaS Program ๐ฐ
The Treasury Working Group has delivered their first report on the PoolTogether governance forum. In their Analysis of the Fei Protocol <> Ondo Finance LaaS Program the Working Group provides a review of Fei Protocol, Ondo Finance, and the implications for PoolTogether if 1.5mm in POOL were allocated for the LaaS program. Read the full analysis here.
Coming from that the Treasury Working Group created PTIP-50: POOL Liquidity Management.
Simple Summary:
Proceed with FEI and Ondo proposal by funding $1.5MM USD equivalent in POOL tokens for 3 months.
Extend UNI LP rewards by 3 months and reduce to 150 POOL per day.
Extend POOL pool rewards by 2 months.

Maven Has Begun the Whale Making ๐ณ
Maven 11 Capital ****has already started delegating $100,000 in winning chances to a random holder of the redeemable NFT every week until end of January. This will turn that card holder into a whale for an entire week! The chance in winning will be the same as having a $100,000 deposit, meaning you ๐๐ would ๐๐ win ๐๐ every ๐๐ day!
Saving, Lottery and Euros by CryptoFarmeur
Mon frรจre! Crypto Farmeur did not only release a great video about PoolTogether this week, but also shows you how to DeFi on a Frenchchart leveraging PoolTogether & Ubeswap on Celo. You remember? Frenchcharts were those advanced DeFi strategies, which should only be used by experienced DeFi users. I already wrote a little bit about those on the Community Newsletter #6.
Apart from that Frenchcharts are also a great source to learn and analyse. Check it out:
