View ChartPoolTogether is a no-loss prize savings protocol built on the Ethereum blockchain. It functions as a prize savings game where users pool the yield generated from their deposited tokens for a chance to win prizes, while their principal remains safe and withdrawable at any time. The protocol is characterised as a gamification layer that allows users to hold their favourite token while having a chance to win big. PoolTogether was founded in 2019 and positions itself as a permissionless protocol used by over 100,000 people to win by saving. The POOL token is the native ERC-20 token of the platform, with a total supply of 10,000,000 POOL. The protocol is open source and permissionless, enabling developers to build their own no-loss prize games.
PoolTogether was founded in 2019 by Leighton Cusack, who serves as Founder and CEO, and Brendan Asselstine, who is the Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer. The team describes itself as a group of engineers, designers, and economists who believe that DeFi can be used to make saving money more fun. The project is supported by a company with 247 employees as of July 26, per Tracxn company profile. The founding entity is PoolTogether itself. In February 2020, PoolTogether announced a $1.05 million investment round led by IDEO CoLab Ventures, with participation from other investors. This funding coincided with the addition of a USDC pool to its DeFi-powered no-loss lottery.
PoolTogether operates as a no-loss prize savings protocol on the Ethereum blockchain. Users deposit funds into prize pools for a chance to win prizes. The yield generated from these deposits funds the prizes, meaning participants do not lose their principal. There are no fees, and users can withdraw their funds at any time. The protocol uses smart contracts to automate processes and transactions according to unchangeable rules, ensuring transparency, fairness, and accessibility. PoolTogether incorporates MPC (Multi-Party Computation) technology, which enables secure, distributed computation over encrypted data. The protocol is described as no-loss audited and has a CertiK rating of 3.9. Access to the protocol is facilitated through various interfaces, including the Cabana App and the PoolTime App. Multiple prize pools are available, allowing users to choose how they participate, with support for pools such as USDC and DAI.
PoolTogether distinguishes itself through its no-loss prize savings model, which combines the thrill of lotteries with the security of savings. The protocol aims to deter users from engaging in traditional wealth-diminishing gambling activities by offering a chance to win prizes without risking the principal. Its mission is financial freedom for all, with prize savings described as a proven tool to help people save money and avoid wealth-destroying lotteries. The protocol is 100% transparent and free, with protocols automating services according to unchangeable rules. PoolTogether is open source and permissionless, enabling developers to build their own no-loss prize games. It unlocks organic usage for wallets, yield sources, and blockchains. The protocol has distributed $4.4 million in prizes, and over 72,000 individuals have collectively saved $4.6 million through the platform. Its self-description as the #1 Protocol for Real Adoption highlights its focus on practical, user-friendly DeFi applications.
The POOL token serves multiple purposes within the PoolTogether ecosystem. It is used to solve the cold start problem, with the distribution of the POOL token serving as an additional incentive during the early stages of the protocol. The POOL token controls the PoolTogether protocol to ensure decentralisation and community ownership. Users can propose and participate in governance decisions. The token is also used in the broader ecosystem to incentivise participation and align the interests of users, developers, and other stakeholders. PoolTogether itself is used by savers who want to avoid wealth-destroying lotteries, as well as by wallets, yield sources, and blockchains through developer integrations. The protocol enables developers to build their own no-loss prize games, further expanding its utility.
The PoolTogether ecosystem is developing through a combination of community governance, developer integrations, and strategic partnerships. The protocol is listed as a DeFi app on ethereum.org and has a presence on multiple platforms including Discord, dedicated forums, Twitter, and LinkedIn. Developers can contribute to the ecosystem through a grants process, and the protocol unlocks organic usage for wallets, yield sources, and blockchains. The website features sections for Home, Help, Ecosystem, Community, and Builders, with a call to action for developers to build on PoolTogether and add their vault. The protocol supports multiple prize pools, including USDC and DAI, and is accessible through interfaces such as the Cabana App and the PoolTime App. PoolTogether is also referenced on Arbitrum, indicating multi-chain development. The ecosystem is characterised by its open source and permissionless nature, allowing for continuous innovation and community-driven growth.
PoolTogether does not use traditional mining. The POOL token is an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain, which utilises a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism following Ethereum's transition. There is no mining process for POOL. Instead, users can participate in the protocol by depositing funds into prize pools for a chance to win prizes funded by yield. The POOL token itself is used for governance and incentives. Detailed public information on staking mechanisms is currently limited. Developers can contribute to the ecosystem through a grants process, and the protocol enables developers to build their own no-loss prize games. The POOL token controls the protocol to ensure decentralisation and community ownership, with 48% of tokens controlled by governance.
Keeping your POOL tokens safe requires following standard cryptocurrency security practices. Since POOL is an ERC-20 token on Ethereum and also referenced on Arbitrum, store your tokens in a reputable wallet that supports these networks. Use hardware wallets for long-term storage to protect against online threats. Always verify contract addresses before interacting with any token or protocol. The official POOL token contract addresses are 0x0cec1a9154ff802e7934fc916ed7ca50bde6844e on Ethereum and 0xcf934e2402a5e072928a39a956964eb8f2b5b79c on Arbitrum. Be cautious of phishing attempts and fake tokens. PoolTogether employs a multifaceted security strategy integrating advanced technological and procedural safeguards, leveraging smart contracts for automation, and incorporates MPC technology for secure, distributed computation over encrypted data. The protocol is described as no-loss audited with a CertiK rating of 3.9. As with any investment in the cryptocurrency space, conduct thorough research and consider your financial situation before participating.
