Pool party
Since last time, we have had 16 new pools deployed on the GYSR platform! This includes 1 new pool on mainnet, 12 on Polygon, and 3 on Optimism.
To shout out some more specific updates - Charged Particles and Perion each re-funded their existing pools and Layer2DAO launched two new pools (check out their spotlight below for more 👀). Also, we’ve extended our GYSR liquidity mining programs on Polygon and Optimism!

Grant award from Layer2DAO
GYSR was recently awarded an ecosystem grant by the Layer2DAO incubator program to support the development of new incentive mechanisms for the L2 ecosystem and to promote adoption of GYSR on Optimism.
Layer2DAO has also become a user of GYSR themselves and launched 2 new pools through GYSR on Optimism as part of their community incentive program - a Fountain which uses the GYSR + Arrakis solution for Uniswap v3 liquidity mining 🔨 and an Aquarium which allows users to stake the L2StateOfMind NFT and earn L2DAO 🐟

2-Year birthday
GYSR recently celebrated our 2-year birthday and while it's exciting to look back at how far we've come, we’re even more excited to look ahead and think about where we’re going next! Whether you’ve been an original supporter or just learned about our project, we can’t thank you enough for your constant support, feedback, and general enthusiasm about what we’re trying to do here! 💗🎂
Milestones
GYSR continues to see an active user community, with platform operations growing across Mainnet, Polygon, and Optimism! We just surpassed 40k user operations across all pools and networks, and are now approaching 6,000 total GYSR users 🤝📈
Development teasers
Core contracts
Since our last update, we have been busy building! We have completed v3 upgrades to the main Pool contract and Factory system. These changes will enable more flexible mechanism design and improve interoperability with other protocols across the ecosystem.
We have also added some exciting capabilities to the bond staking module. One new feature: the module will now support multiple token markets in parallel 🤯
And now we are shifting efforts to building the ERC20 fixed reward module, which will be used for a variety of mechanisms, such as bond sales and freelancer bounty payments.
Subgraph
We have also rolled out some important changes to the GYSR subgraph over the past few months. These updates include support for v3 reward modules, tracking the v3 factory, improved pricing logic, deployment for Goerli testnet, and more.
Webapp
We have recently made some updates to improve the browsing experience for users who do not have a connected wallet. In addition, we have improved NFT support on the Goerli Testnet for Aquariums. Similar improvements for Aquariums will be coming soon on Optimism and Polygon. We are currently working on incorporating the new GYSR V3 modules into the webapp, beginning with the Payroll modules. The updates for creating Payroll Pools are now complete, and we will be focusing on the development of the admin and staking pages next.
Talk soon - we have a lot of building to do 🛠️
As always, thanks to our community for all the great support, and please feel free to reach out with any feedback, questions, or ideas.
