My DeFi mentality is to always look for the best narrative and for that new project that will bring benefits to the whole crypto ecosystem. Sometimes that "next big thing" is just an old thing that was made better! PoolTogether keeps upgrading, with a focus on user satisfaction.
This upgrades included the addition of pools on Base, new UI, a plethora of prizes and as always ... no losses! PoolTogether is fully decentralized, with no governance controls, no voting, no multi-sigs, no permissioned roles.
Why I love Pooltogether? No hidden fees, no locked period and the possibility to withdraw your assets in full at any time! On top of the top tier security and the chance to win daily prizes, there are boosted pools with guaranteed crypto rewards. Saving money, winning prizes and farming $OP since 2023!
I didn't claimed the $OP rewards for weeks, maybe months, and let them stack up to insane values. I discovered Superform through Pooltogether and their $OP vault had an APR that made me claim and stake! I've earned 73 $OP tokens by staking/saving crypto, and had tickets for those amazing draws!
I took of my swimsuit for a bike journey on Velodrome! Staked $POOL - $WETH liquidity for triple digit APR and earned a fair amount of $VELO along the "Tour de Optimism"! When the APR wasn't that juicy I decided to single stake wETH and $POOL, which boosted my winning chances!
More tickets for daily, weekly and monthly draws after I moved my crypto from Velodrome to PoolTime! The impact was instant, winning few small prizes across all pools. The prize it's random but having more tickets helps! I landed a nice prize on the Ethereum vault on Optimism, a juicy $91.89 worth of $ETH!
How poolers are saving and winning? Users deposit into prize vaults, and the vaults earn yield. The yield is sold for POOL which is added to the prize pool, and the daily draw determines the winners. If you are one of the winners, the bots will distribute the prize and keep the protocol running!
The Base pools brought new opportunities, with different incentives. I staked USDC and earned $HIGHER, which I could stake and hold more tickets. I earned $POOL and then staked the $POOL for more tickets. It's perpetual growth and higher chances to win with every interaction!
Farming $POOL with $USDC, then staking it for a sweet 62% APR. Whenever I win $ETH prizes I wrap them, and add it in the Aave pool that also offers $POOL rewards. It's incredible for good is to tap into multiple sources! Get your swimming trunks on! I'll see you by the pool!
