# Welcome to Pool Party

Save, earn and win - Solanas only community driven Prized Savings Protocol!

## **📌 The project is in hibernation and is currently not being updated. The pools have been set to withdraw mode only.**

\
**Pool Party** is a bootstrapped and community-driven decentralized [Prized Savings](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prize-linked_savings_account) protocol (or No Loss Lottery) on Solana. \
\
Its participants hodl tokens in a pool, and by that automatically participate in a lottery that gives the participant a chance to win tokens!\
\
Players or “savers” participate by depositing tokens into one of the savings pools. The pooled funds generate yield in DeFi apps and the yield is once a week paid out to one lucky participant in the relevant pool. Or in other words, one person wins the yield from everyone in the pool!\
\
Pool Party makes use of the stake and DeFi rewards from the pooled tokens in the world of Solana DeFi. The DeFi protocols that Pool Party works with for this are among the most trusted dApps on Solana such as [Solend](https://solend.fi/) and [Marinade](https://marinade.finance/). We randomly pick the winners using a [VRF ](https://switchboard.xyz/randomness)from our [Switchboard.xyz](https://switchboard.xyz/).\
\
**You can't lose!** A player never buys a ticket, but simply gets 1 ticket in return for each token provided to the pool. All participants in the pool can withdraw the pooled tokens at any time, and everyone involved keeps their money!

#### 🔐 Entirely non-custodial!

Pool Party is non-custodial and runs on smart contracts. This means that the user is the only one who has access to their own deposited funds in the savings pools. \
\
No one but you has access to your deposited funds and you can withdraw your funds at any time!

#### ⚠ Audit

Pool Party has not yet been audited by a third party. Use the protocol at your own risk, and consider this as an experimental community project at this stage.

**Token Allocation**

Fair Launch and airdrop

10% PARTY token will be distributed through an airdrop to its early users of the protocol and members of the Pool Party community and partners.

The PARTY token does not have any economical value and we have done no raise using the token. Any initiatives of trading the token will have to be from the community and users and not the Pool Party team itself.

All vested tokens are non transferable and have no voting weight until they are unlocked.

The supply of the Pool Party token PARTY is 2,000,000,000 (2B tokens). Certain allocations come with a vesting period that pays out monthly up to 36 months from the day of the launch.

* 29%  580M Loyalty program
* 20%  400M Contributors&#x20;
* 18%  360M DAO treasury
* 10%  200M PARTY airdrop&#x20;
* 17%  340M Protocol Partners&#x20;
* 5%     100M Marketing&#x20;
* 1%     20M Advisors&#x20;

**Loyalty program**\
The allocation to the loyalty program is one of the largest with 29%. This token allocation will fuel loyalty rewards and liquidity mining for pool party users. We intend for every Pool Party pool to have loyalty rewards given for those that stake in Pools. The loyalty program comes with many added benefits within the Pool Party DAO and community.

**Contributors - Vesting**\
With the 20% allocated towards the crew of active contributors, we believe that we should both in the short- and the long term align incentives with the people making Pool Party happen by having a stake in the web3 aspect of the product. Contributor allocations are vested for 36 months, and linearly awarded to each contributor on a monthly basis from day 1 of the token launch. With the token launch being a fair launch, we believe it is fair that the contributors get part of their allocations at the same time as the airdrop.

**DAO-Community treasury**\
This allocation of 18% is reserved for the DAO AKA the community to be able to govern, when the on-chain governance is ready. \
\
**Protocol Partners - Vesting**\
The organizations that are helping to fund and integrate this web3 endeavor are getting a token allocation based on their contributions. This comes with several benefits to propel the protocol into the web3 ecosystem with aligning web3 incentives with its early-stage partners looking to add utility for the token. Early-stage partners that are assisting Pool Party are awarded PARTY tokens if this benefits the Pool Party adoption in the ecosystem.

**Marketing - Vesting**\
We have a marketing allocation of 5% to align incentives with our marketing partners. When building the protocol with no funding, it is key to be able to pay for- and align incentives with various partners and organizations to reach a larger audience.

**Advisors - Vesting**\
Our group of advisors are all senior within the web3 ecosystem. Being able to both get good advice both business wise and technical, while being able to enjoy help with contacts and networking is of great value to a young web3 startup protocol.\

# Risks

When you use Pool Party, you do so **at your own risk**. The protocol has not been audited yet and the use of the protocol ought to be considered experimental and high risk due to the nature of the early stage defi market and smart contract technologies.\
\
The team, developers and the DAO participants have no responsibility for your funds used in the pools. You deposit entirely at your own risk. Always make sure to do proper due diligence before you enter funds into any DeFi protocol.\
\
Pool Party pools are governed by smart contracts and the Pool Party team does not have any custody of the funds used, in other words, it is fully self-custodial. <br>


# Bug Bounty

Pool Party have allocated PARTY tokens to the bug bounty, and if you've found a bug, please contact us in discord.
