Hey Poolers 🌊🏆
the first week of the year is done. I hope your new years resolutions (if you had any) aren’t. We could now venture about volatile markets or dive into some crypto tribalism, but I decide to sleep well.

Wholesome Community Vibes

Canny x PoolTogether
The team at Canny.io is sponsoring the PoolTogether DAO with an unlimited subscription to their service.
What’s Canny?
Canny helps to capture, organize, and analyze ideas & feedback in one place to inform your product decisions. It allows rating & prioritizing of feature requests to build a product roadmap.
Why Canny?
Discord is moving fast and sometimes even the best ideas get lost. We aim this space to be a funnel for ideas & future RFPs and an amplifier for collaboration within the PoolTogether DAO.
Currently we there are five categories on our Canny: Feature Requests, Bug Reports, Tokenomics, DAO Operations & Project Ideas.
How it works
Pick a category
Choose a descriptive & suitable topic

PoolTogether 2021 🎉
Yea the last newsletter was quite long, I agree. But that’s only because PoolTogether and its community did so much awesome stuff in 2021. I posted an even longer thread on Twitter about it. I wonder which died out partnerships we might be able to revive this year.
