Liquidity providers deposit funds into PoolTogether and receive a return on investment in lottery winnings (supply-side fees).

PoolTogether is an asset management (no-loss lottery) protocol built on Ethereum and other adjacent blockchains. PoolTogether was founded by Leighton Cusack and launched in 2019.

POOL tokenholders own and govern the protocol. They currently do not take a cut of the total return on investment paid by liquidity providers (revenue). PoolTogether’s investors include IDEO CoLab Ventures, DTC Capital, ConsenSys Ventures, etc.

# PoolTogether Maximum token supply Methodology

## 1. Overview

This metric tracks PoolTogether's maximum token supply, representing the total number of POOL tokens that can ever exist according to the protocol's tokenomics design. The maximum supply is a fixed constant defined by the protocol's governance structure and token contract specifications, set at 10,000,000 POOL tokens when the protocol launched on February 17, 2021.

## 2. Data sources

- **Protocol constants**: Hardcoded maximum supply value based on PoolTogether's tokenomics design
- **Protocol documentation**: Official PoolTogether protocol specifications defining token parameters
- **Token contract specifications**: Smart contract parameters that define the maximum mintable token supply

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Static supply definition
- **Purpose**: Establish the fixed maximum token supply value for PoolTogether
- **Logic**: The maximum supply is set as a protocol constant at 10,000,000 POOL tokens, representing the total number of tokens that can ever be minted according to the protocol's design. The launch date is established as February 17, 2021 at 00:00:00 UTC, marking when the POOL token became active
- **Key fields**: `token_supply_maximum` (10,000,000), `timestamp` (2021-02-17 00:00:00 UTC), `timestamp_grain` (day)

### Final aggregation
- **Time series creation**: The static maximum supply value is extended across all dates from the protocol launch date forward using a fill-forward strategy
- **Daily granularity**: The metric is aggregated at daily intervals, with the same maximum supply value (10,000,000) repeated for each day
- **Data formatting**: The finalize macro applies standard Token Terminal formatting and validation to ensure consistency with other protocol metrics
- **Final calculation**: The maximum token supply remains constant at 10,000,000 POOL tokens across all time periods, as this represents a fundamental protocol parameter that does not change over time
