Launching a Pool
Guide for creators on launching a new pool
Create a new pool
Launching a Pool only takes a few clicks. The factory will handle all the work of deploying associated contracts to the blockchain and configuring them with your desired parameters. Afterwards, you can fund the contract with the rewards you’d like to distribute. To enforce transparency and decentralization, there is no way to adjust configurations after they are created.
During configuration, you can select from the three types of Pools: Geysers, Fountains, and Aquariums.
If you have interest in a separate type of module that we don’t yet support, please reach out to the team here.
Each Pool will require you to define the a set of configuration values during creation. These control the behavior of the pool, the stake and reward assets, and the time incentives for users. Please keep in mind that these cannot be changed later.
Staking token- the ERC20 staking assetReward token- the ERC20 reward assetPeriod- the length of time to earn the maximum multiplier (set this to 0 to have no multiplier)Minimum multiplier- this is the multiplier every investor has applied at the moment they start staking (set this to 1 if you wish users to start with no time multiplier)Maximum multiplier- this the multiplier investors will receive once they’ve staked for the length of the period (set this to 1 to disable the time multiplier)
Most Geysers will use a minimum multiplier of 1x and then scale it up as time goes on depending on how long they want to incentivize investors to stay, however you can specify any positive number.
Staking token- the ERC20 staking assetReward token- the ERC20 reward assetPeriod- The length of time an investor must be staked to earn the entirety of their rewards (set this to 0 to have no penalty)Minimum penalty- The penalty multiplier that would be applied if an investor unstakes directly after staking (set this to 1 to have no penalty)
Vesting considerations: To incentivize investors staying for 90 days, you might set the period to 90 days and the minimum penalty to 0.5x. This would mean that on day 1 if they unstaked, they’d only receive 50% of their rewards. If an investor unstaked on day 45, they’d receive 75%. Only after 90 days would an investor be entitled to unstake 100% of their earnings.

See the vesting considerations for the Fountain above, as the same reward mechanics apply here.
