PoolTogether Community Newsletter #6
Some thoughts, PoolGrants Committee & Treasury Working Group, imToken integration, Probability Calc, Community Substack goes international, Dharma offer & more
Hey Poolers ๐๐
last week clearly meant rough sea to a lot of crypto traders. At times where bears and bulls are arguing on who ever is the best animal out there, it's always good to be a fish. #NoLoss ๐จ๏ธ๐
Just some thoughts ๐ญ
We've put the V4 launch behind us and set new goals to integrate Avalanche into the Prize Pool Network.
Besides that there is a lot more on our table for the coming months. There is work to do on fronts like scaling the network, exploring utilities for the $POOL token, or fine-tuning the mechanics of V4.
A growing protocol and community also means we need to further develop the structures of the DAO, open up new ways to contribute and explore different forms of collaboration.
A part of this will be to clearly define our mission, vision and values. These can be a guide to us, and help us not get lost on our way.
There is nobody who can tell us what's right to do, but we all can try to ask valuable questions and share our thoughts to find answers that suit us all.
We all have on thing in common: we are here by choice. All with different ideas, strengths and weaknesses, and in different stages of our journey. But all with the mutual interest to benefit the community as whole. ๐
I encourage you to participate in the governance forum. Don't be shy, we're all in this together! Have a look at some of the ongoing discussions:
Scaling the PoolTogether Network
Scaling Prizes!
Adjusting Prizes
Scaling The DAO!
PoolTogether DAOs purpose
PTIP-44: Continuation of C4 Partnership
PTIP-45: Fei / Ondo LP Partnership
PTIP-46: Forming the Treasury Working Group
PoolGrants Committee & Treasury Working Group ๐ฐ
The first term of the PoolGrants Committee was a huge success with more than $350k in funded grants. The new committee for the second term has formed, and can shortly be voted on in a official PTIP. Look at these community allstars:
Lead: Torgin
Deputy Lead: Gabor
Reviewers: Taliskye, McOso, Oops, Gio.eth, TangFeng
Apart from that there has been another group forming on the governance forum over the last weeks. The Treasury Working Group will focus on exploring $POOL tokenomics, incentives and capital management strategies for PoolTogether's treasury funds. You can vote on the proposal here.
Chair: TheRealTuna
Working Group Members: Regisisland, Mkkoll, Gabor, Drcpu, Underthesea, Torgin, LlamaDAO seat (rotating)
imToken x Celo x PoolTogether ๐ฒ
Celo is doing good work on the side of partnerships. imToken now offers full support for Celo & dApp integration for their non-custodial wallet app. Yea right - you can swap on Ubeswap or Sushiswap and deposit into PoolTogether without leaving the app. The future is now, frens. ๐ฐ
Probability Calc ๐งฎ
Check this one out: 0xJulian joined the Discord server and started contributing right away. His first message on the server was this super helpful Probability Calculator.
That's what I call a powerful entrance!
PoolTogether x QiDao Reward Loop ๐
Crypto Twitter loves French Charts. No worries, I'm not talking about the top 100 single charts. A French Chart is a visualization for a proven DeFi strategy leveraging multiple protocols. The more depth a strategy has, the more dependencies there are.
Disclaimer: Always do your own research. Using strategies requires a lot of experience.

Generate a Vault on @QiDaoProtocol using wETH
Borrow MAI from the vault, swap for USDC, Deposit to @PoolTogether_
Any time you win a prize on PT swap for more wETH
If ETH prices goes down, withdraw USDC from PT, swap for MAI and paydown
PoolTogether Community Substack goes international ๐
It's natural for us to assume that once we communicate something people will understand. But PoolTogether's users live all around the world. Luckily we have some awesome community members taking action to make PoolTogether and its ecosystem more accessible.

Prize Talk ๐
Humans are attracted to winning. That's a fact and that's why we all love PoolTogether. So what are the reasons for someone to not use the protocol? They either don't know about it, or they still can't believe it. Let's change this!
Share your luck with the world and make sure to tag @PoolTogether_.
If you made it this far you probably have another minute to leave some feedback for the newsletter. Stay wavy & see you all around the pool ๐๐๐
