PoolTogether On Optimism Brings A Big Smile On My Face!

The core idea behind PoolTogether is to incentivize saving while offering users a chance to win large prizes! I embraced this unique concept long time ago, and enjoyed the sun, waves and rewards through the waves of volatility!

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. PoolTogether helped me to be eligible for the first $OP airdrop, and played a massive part for receiving the second one! I kept hustling on Optimist, wining prizes while saving ETH, POOL and USDC.

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. I am saving money, winning prizes and farming $OP since 2023!

I usually let the $OP rewards stack up for weeks, sometimes months, before claiming them. My last claim was at the end of August, when I've collected 73 $OP and added them to Superform. I don't like lazy crypto so a small APY is better than no yield at all!

However, I was "forced" to claim again after I received the 5th Optimism airdrop! I watched Optimism expanding the Superchain, and explored chains like Cyber, Zora, Lisk through Across! They've made bridging around the Superchain so easy! My admiration for Optimism grew bigger when they announced the 5th $OP airdrop, to reward the Superchain users!

The main eligibility criteria was simple, and those that interacted with at least 20 unique contracts on the Superchain got a slice of the allocation. There were other bonus criteria, and I think I ticked a lot of boxes!

Superchain Explorer, Early Superchain Adopter or Quester? I think I've made at least 1 app transaction on at least three chains in the first week after the public launch, and I am confident I've done at least one Optimism quest.

I participated in a few missions on Jumper, and hustled a bit during the Superfest, and with all the things brought together... I claimed my big stash of $OP! Received 589.47 tokens, and I have to say thank you for Across, Velodrome and PoolTogether for the help!

The next stop was at the PoolApp, where I claimed the $OP farmed since August! Had a good share from the USDC pool, where 27.15 $OP were waiting to be put to work. The rewards from the ETH pool were even bigger, with 61.15 $OP ready to be claimed.

Farming 88 $OP in few months is crypto bonanza, and I kept winning $ETH prizes as well! PoolTogether on Optimism brings a smile on my face! It is such a win-win combo and now I get the thrill of a lottery without losing anything, except maybe my fear of gas fees!
