No-Loss Lottery Savings

PoolTogether is a crypto-based no-loss lottery savings platform that pools users' interest earnings into prize drawings while preserving their principal investment. The concept adapts traditional prize-based savings accounts (popular in the UK) to the crypto world.

Key Points:

  • Core Mechanism:

    • Users deposit crypto into savings accounts
    • Instead of earning tiny individual interest (like 0.1%)
    • All interest is pooled and awarded as lottery prizes
    • Users never lose their principal investment
  • Market Validation:

    • Traditional version (Premium Bonds) in UK:
      • 20 million users
      • $100 billion in total savings
    • PoolTogether's Current Stats:
      • $200 million in assets under management
      • 9,000-10,000 active users
      • Considered significant user base for crypto applications
  • Prize Structure:

    • Weekly jackpots
    • Portion of prizes roll over to next week
    • Larger deposits = more chances to win
    • Prize range from small amounts to large jackpots
  • Value Proposition:

    • Encourages savings by making it exciting
    • Provides better incentive than traditional low-interest savings
    • Allows crypto holders to put assets to work
    • Alternative to just holding or selling crypto
