PoolTogether Community Substack Network 🌎
We are proud to present our content in a variety of languages. If English is not your first choice feel free to check out our content on Portugues, Spanish, French or Mandarin.
Avalanche is here! 🔺
It’s official! The Avalanche proposal has passed and the launch is set for next week. The upgrade of the PoolTogether network will begin on Dec 20th (that’s tomorrow!). This will extend the existing Prize Pool Network to the Avalanche blockchain, including a number of protocol updates and a user interface refresh. Read Brendan’s article on the governance forum for more info on that.
PT Inc has delivered, now it’s time for the community & DAO to do their part. What are your ideas for the launch on Avalanche? The protocol needs you! No matter if memes, articles, videos, podcasts, art, graphics or just the positive word to mouth. Join us on Discord if you have ideas or need any help!
Avalanche Hype & Vibe Launch Contest
We’re having a spontaneous Launch Contest. Get your Memes & Launch Graphics in. Find out more.
UI Update 🎉
This week already surprised us with a sweet UI update. If you were checking prizes lately you couldn’t miss it. Fancy! Head over to the dApp to check your weekly odds and total 👏 claimed 👏 winnings! 👏
Prize API is live 🏆
The Prize API is an easy way to access the PoolTogether v4 prize data.
This data contains:
Which addresses won prizes for each draw across networks
How much each address won for each draw
Which lucky pick won for each users prize
To find out why and how you can read more in the developer documentation.
TWAB Rewards Contract Audit Complete! 🔐
TWAB is short for Time-Weighted Average Balance. The TWAB allows the protocol to determine a user's balance at any time in the past, or their average balance held between two times. This allows the protocol to determine a particular user’s share of the liquidity for that period of time.
This is critically important for PoolTogether, so that users can deposit and withdraw freely into a prize pool while having their liquidity contribution measured perfectly.
A few weeks ago the PT Inc. team completed a TwabRewards contract. This contract allows anyone to create a ‘promotion’: where tokens are dropped to PT ticket holders. Ticket holders don’t even need to stake; they can just claim from the Rewards contract.
The smart contract was now successfully audited in a contest by Code4rena. It will be deployed during the Avalance upgrade.
Watch the Flippening 🐬

Treasury Working Group 🏦

Marketing Working Group 📢
The Marketing Working Group was not officially founded yet, but everyone involved seems do their best to make it worth and change that. There are already multiple working streams going on in their Discord channel and they meet for weekly calls.
Would that be something for you? Head over to #marketing-wg
or hop on the call on Monday at 11am PST / 2pm EST / 7pm GMT / 8pm CET.
Next Community Call & Swim Meet on Thursday 23rd! 📞
Yep - one day early! Take some time off your family and join us for some Post-Avalanche Pre-Christmas fun!
PoolTogether DAO Onboarding Calls! 🚣
Phew - see the first one as done! On Wednesday I hosted our first DAO Onboarding Call on the PoolTogether Discord. I’m grateful that so many people joined me and showed their interest in the DAO. Our Swim Class #1, the Pool Peeps will let you know they are there soon. Watch out!
Onboarding Calls what? Check my post on the governance forum for all the information you need.
The next DAO Onboarding Call will happen on January 5th - save the date. From then the call will happen in a weekly cadence.
Special Coordinape 1,500 POOL distribution! 🎄
Leighton himself is sponsoring a special Christmas Bonus session on Coordinape. Between December 21st and December 23rd next week, 1,500 $POOL tokens will be distributed. ****
The $POOL distributed are a personal present of Leighton to everyone who has contributed in 2021. You can listen to the recording of our last Community Call or just ask in #coordinape
if you want to know more.
The goal of this bonus session is to celebrate all that was achieved this year and get more tokens into the hands of the many people who deserve them.
Wholesome Community Vibes 🦍
Our Community is full of awesome individuals. I don’t just say that - since I spend quite a lot of my time on Discord I get to have this thought every day. Multiple times. I think Leighton already found the perfect words for this: Good people attract good people. And this is what PoolTogether certainly does.
Here’s a special one, thanks Gustl🌊🏆! 💌
