Introducing Poolz: Decentralized Layer-3 swapping protocol, based on DeFi infrastructure

Image for post

For decentralized finance (Defi) to cross the tipping-point of mass adoption, there must be a solution able to house multiple blockchains under an interactive umbrella, independent of custodial supervision. Such solution will also serve multiple cross-chain interactions, like crypto exchanges.

While there are some token swapping protocols in the Defi space, executing this already; they, however, do not make provision for early-stage projects and are limited in cross-chain exchanging.

In this post, we are officially proposing Poolz for the first time, as a liquidity pool exchange, adopted for both early-stage liqudity provision, as well as, for existing tokens and eventually for cross-chain token exchange.

So, if you are on the lookout for enough liquidity to bootstrap your Defi token-based project, or a safe place to invest in early-stage Defi startups, or you are just here for learning purposes, you most likely will be getting more than you expect.

Rethinking Initial offerings with Defi

Since the rise of Defi protocols, decentralized exchanging (DEX), via liquidity pooling have been gaining alot of traction. When compared to centralized exchanges, however, dex protocols seem very limited in what they can execute. A good example of this limitation is with initial startup funding and market entry liquidity.

ICOs and later IEOs use to be the best solution for entry funding and market liquidity. Unfortunately with the trust issues, saturation of ICOs and IEOs and the high cost of listing as well as executing successful IEO, low budget innovators, with prospective solutions are finding it impossible to get that minimum required funds to reach the required critical mass for scaling.

On the contrary, our vision with poolz is to take the liquidity pool rationale a step further, into unlocking the possibility of liquidity pooling for blockchain startups in need of funding and that initial market entry liquidity and to do this across all open blockchains.

Introducing Poolz

Today we are very excited to share the Poolz vision with you. With poolz, we envision a trustless crypto market, which offers prospective startups, unbaised access to a willing and liquid market, able to get the project of the ground. By extension, this takes away the need and cost for ICO and IEOs, as well as the regulatory requirements that follows.

While there are several pioneering platforms offering liquidity pooling opportunities, the idea with Poolz is to make liquidity pooling available for the pre-listing phase of the project, and for existing assets too. So it takes out that initial barrier to entry hurdle suffocating great solutions without the means for a grand market entrance.

How Liquidity Pools Work

(Skip to the next section, if you already understand Liquidity Pools!)

Traditionally, the process of providing liquidity to a market is through market making. This is where selected high volume market players, provide liquidity at a discount in their favor. However it comes with custodial limitations and monopoly problems. Sadly, this is the method been used by centralized crypto markets.

On the contrary, liquidity pools, rely on automated market making, executed by the Poolz protocol. In this situation, any willing party can play market maker and get to purchase tokens at faries discount and still get rewarded by the protocol. What is more, this comes with the trustless protection of a Defi protocol.

An Overview of the Poolz ecosytem operations

Poolz is built as a DAO protocol on ethereum, and the premise of the Poolz operations and governance is that, the community gets to decides how governance and operations will evolve, going forward. So even though our team get to set the initial operations, the community still gets to decide how it eventually evolves.

Please note that, this overview is not an exhaustive representation of the overall Poolz operations. That will be available in the litepaper. What is captured here is a brief summary of the its operation:

  • Poolz (POZ) token: this is an ERC-2O token, since Poolz is deployed on Ethereum. It will be used for incentivization, to pay for developmental cost goin forward and governance requirements. Also, POZ holders get to be discounted with pool entry and simply for being holders of POZ, so you get to earn more POZ for having POZ.
  • Pool Type: there will be two pool types on Poolz, which is the direct sales pool (DSP), where the tokens are received by the investor, imediately after a swap, and the time-lock pools (TLP), where the pools have a lock-in-period, before the tokens are released to the investors.
  • Poolz Market Players: There are two categories of players in the market, which are the liquidity providers (LP), technically the market makers, and those in need of the liquidity or Pool creators.
  • Pool rule makers: every pool on Poolz come with basic rules and the pool creators, which are usually the project owners, for new tokens, get to set the rules. The parameters for this rule includes choices like: relevant blockchain protocol and wallet for the swap, pool type, pool duration (in the case of a timelock pool,) available token for the pool or auction, the swapping ratio and several others.
  • Planned Improvements: as an eventual milestone in the poolz functional agenda, there will be a cross-chain token transfer implementation, at a later stage of its developmental roadmap. This will allow for non-ethereum tokens to be swapped by the poolz protocol.

The Poolz Ecosystem

Image for post

Broadly, there are two categories of Poolz users. One involves the Project Owners or Pool Creators, while Investors or Liquidity Providers (LP) comprise the other. In this section, we discuss available pool types, the user flows, pool states, and Poolz’s governance model.

Types of Pools

There will be two types of pools on the platform — Direct Sale Pools (DSP) and Time-Locked Pools (TLP).

  • Direct Sale Pools (DSP): These are pools without any lock-in period, where investors get the token immediately after the swap.
  • Time-Locked Pools (TLP): These pools have a predefined lock-in period and investors receive their swapped tokens only after the completion of this duration.

Pool Status

Any pool on the Poolz platform will have

  • Created: the pool is exclusively available for $POOLZ token holders.
  • Open: the pool is available for all Poolz users.
  • Out of Stock: the predefined supply of auctioning tokens has been sold-out, but the pool’s duration has not ended. In the case of TLP, tokens will be locked for the remaining duration.
  • Finished: the pool has reached the end of its stipulated duration. Both for DSP and TLP, the leftover tokens are returned to the PO’s wallet at this point. Investors, on the other hand, get their tokens purchased (swapped) through TLP.
  • Closed: the pool is complete and tokens have been duly disbursed.

Project Owner’s Flow Supported Blockchains & Wallet:

Upon onboarding, project owners first need to select the blockchain protocol relevant to their project, as well as a cryptocurrency wallet.

In the MVP stage, Poolz supports projects based on Ethereum and the MetaMask wallet.

In the future, the platform will support other blockchain ecosystems. Moreover, users will be able to integrate wallets like WalletConnect, Coinbase Wallet, Fortmatic, Portis, as well as other non-ERC20 wallets.

Pool Creation

Project owners can initiate a pool by clicking on the ‘Create a Pool’ button. Since Poolz follows a strict non-intervention policy, project owners or POs need to specify the following parameters:

  • The token address (contract), containing information about its name and ticker. In the MVP phase, Poolz supports ERC-20 tokens. In the near future, the platform will integrate non-fungible ERC721 tokens, as well as other cross-chain standards and functionalities.
  • The total supply of tokens available for the particular auction or pool.
  • The asset for payments or inbound pool contributions. In the MVP phase, POs have the option to pair their tokens with ETH or DAI or both. In the future, more swapping pairs will be available as Poolz integrates other blockchain protocols.
  • The swapping ratio — that is, the auctioned token’s price in relation to the chosen liquidity asset. As an incentive for Poolz (POZ) token holders, POs will have to specify the percentage discount (say, X% of the ETH price).
  • The total duration of the pool, as well as whether it will be a Direct Sale Pool or a Time-Locked Pool. The creator also specifies the time frame (T% of total duration) for which the pool will be open exclusively for $POOLZ token holders.

Transaction

After filling the details, POs need to click on the ‘Start’ button to register their pool on the Ethereum blockchain (eventually, on other blockchains relevant to their project). This will also initiate the following transactions from the chosen wallet:

  • The previously specified supply of auctioning tokens will be transferred to a Hashed Timelock Contract (HTLC), where it’ll be escrowed for the total pool duration.
  • The Gas fee for anchoring the pool and updating its data on Ethereum. The code architecture of the Poolz smart contract ensure around 85% less gas fee for project owners, as compared to the existing market standards.

Fees

Project owners will pay two categories of fees, to be used for the development and maintenance of the platform. For the share of auctioning tokens reserved for $POOLZ holders, the fee will be 0.15% of the total liquidity generated. For the rest, it will be 0.2% of the total liquidity raised. In the future, governance can take a vote to change the fees percentages.

Liquidity Provider or Investor’s Flow Pool Selection

Poolz has a marketplace-like UI, where liquidity providers or LPs will be able to browse all pools hosted on the platform — past, ongoing, and upcoming. At this stage, they will have preliminary access to the following information about the pools:

  • Opening Time: when the pool becomes available. If the LP isn’t an eligible $POOLZ owner, an on-screen message will specify the time when the pool becomes available for non-$POOLZ holders.
  • Closing Time: the end-time for the pool’s duration.
  • Time Left: remaining time available.
  • Token Name: the name of the auctioning token, as specified by the PO.
  • Payment Method: ETH/DAI or both, as specified by the PO.
  • Swapping Ratio: the conversion rate specified by the PO.
  • Status: the present status of the pool.

Supported Blockchains & Wallets: Although LPs can browse the above information, to participate in the pools they have select a blockchain ecosystem of their choice and connect a relevant wallet. In this regard, they will have the same choices as project owners.

Joining the Chosen Auction

Once this is done, the LP can click on the ‘Join’ button for their chosen pool. In the setup interface, they need to input either the amount of auctioning tokens that they want to buy or how much ETH/DAI they want to invest.

Whichever is the LP’s input, Poolz’s algorithm will automatically calculate the corresponding values based on the pool’s data.

Pools Benefits for $POOLZ Token Holders

swapping rewards:

Liquidity providers get swapping rewards for participating on the Poolz network, in proportion to their contribution and the total liquidity deposited over the current week. Swapping rewards on the platform will be calculated and disbursed every 4 hour and in weekly cycles. However, this can be altered by governance in the future.

**Mechanism: **Suppose, LP (A) contributes to Pool (1) in the first 4-hour slot of Day(1) — Week(1). Now, if LP (A) is the only investor during this period, he/she get 100% of the swapping reward for that slot. Then, say, on the third 4-hour slot of Day (2) — Week(1), LP (A) would still be eligible for swapping rewards, but in proportion to the total liquidity deposited in the meanwhile. Likewise, LP (A) continues to get some reward for the remaining week.

  • Access to exclusive pools: As already mentioned, every pool on the platform is limited to $POOLZ token holders for an initial duration after its launch.
  • Access to better swap ratios: Exclusive pools also offer special discounts for $POOLZ token holders, thus enhancing the possible returns for liquidity miners.
