ALPHA ALERT #1: PoolTogether Token Airdrop

Get POOL Token Community Airdrop

PoolTogether is a no-loss lottery protocol we’ve written about since version 1. You deposit a stablecoin in the lotto pool, it invests all the pooled money into DeFi lending protocols, and each week one lucky winner gets all the interest the pool generates.

It’s no-loss because you can always withdraw your principal.

Today, PoolTogether released their POOL governance token. That means if you’ve ever used PoolTogether you’re eligible to receive the POOL rewards.

• Alpha: Get POOL token if you’ve ever used PoolTogether
• Asset: POOL
• Eligibility: Must have deposited to PoolTogether before Jan 14th, 2021
• Distribution: Weighted based on the length and amount of deposit
• Detail: Here’s the official post with details
• ROI: Varies…I put in $38 for a year and got 81 POOL (about $1,500 in POOL)

How to get this Alpha:

1. Find an Ethereum addresses that has deposited funds to PoolTogether (remember when we told you about this in Sept 2019 and again in Feb 2020 ? 😎)
   

2. Connect your wallet on the PoolTogether accounts page

   

3. Click “Claim Pool” button

   

4. See the amount of tokens you are eligible for, click claim, pay gas…then wait
   
   Success!

   

5. Congrats! The POOL tokens are yours. You can now use them for future governance on the PoolTogether protocol.

Considerations

• Why did you get this alpha? Because you subscribed to Bankless and made an effort to level-up by using DeFi protocols. This is the frontier! There’s risk…but there’s also reward! Today you were rewarded…congrats.

• What if you missed this alpha? Keep leveling up on the Bankless program. Start using projects that might have future airdrops. Spend time each week learning something new. Connect with the community. You’re still early…this is a marathon not a sprint!
