Last month we shipped an MVP: ~2,000 fans opened 10,000+ positions in @poolfans trading competitions.
Today we’re expanding on our mission with a protocol for composable primitives (aka pools) that coordinate attention + liquidity onchain, powered by 💦 $FANS 💦
Most social growth hacks optimize for vanity. Pools flip that.
Instead of rewarding clicks, you reward performance: participants compete on ROI, with onchain leaderboards + automatic payouts.
It’s a coordination game disguised as a trading contest. Today you’re competing for best ROI but in the future there will be other merit-based competitions.
We’re starting with two pool types:
1. Raise Engagement (live).
2. Raise Liquidity aka Pre-Clank (coming soon with @clanker).
1. Raise Engagement Pool is primitive for aligning rewards with performance.
How it works:
• Configure duration, prize token, # of winners, % split.
• Add social tasks (follow/like/recast/cast-about) to earn keys 1 key = 1 position on any token.
• When the timer ends, contracts resolve and payout splits hit winners’ wallets automatically.
Onchain guarantees:
• Pool creation, position intake, and end-of-pool resolution happen onchain.
• Winners’ pot is split automatically per the configured % split.
• No admin buttons, no spreadsheets—deterministic execution, auditable by anyone.
• Pool Factory (Base): 0x476C1f89fFD98A5F1cDF2086E33aE0b9EA9357d3
• $FANS Token (Base): 0x04cAfd53eCfa6f6a9168dE3d6D2B837D04A51B07
2. Raise Liquidity aka Pre-Clank Pools (coming soon) is a distribution primitive.
Traditional: deploy token → pray for liquidity. Here: the game itself manufactures liquidity and distribution.
How it works:
• Creator configures a Pre-Clank Pool (name, symbol, duration, allocations).
• Participants open positions using ETH.
• On completion, the ETH proceeds seed initial liquidity on Clanker.
• Tokens are airdropped to participants with vesting based on ROI × contribution.
This isn’t just gamification—it’s a distribution primitive.
Why it matters:
• Stronger initial liquidity (group-seeded, not one whale).
• Performance-based distribution (less sybil theater).
• Community pre-launch by construction.
• Risk-managed unlocks (vesting reduces day-1 dumps).
A healthier launch pattern.
Zooming out: the fuel for all of this is the $FANS token:
100B supply launch on Clanker:
• 70% Liquidity Pool (Uniswap v4)
• 25% Creator Vault (30 day lock - 30 day vesting)
• 5% Community Airdrop (1 day lock - 7 day vesting)
• 0% Dev buy
Utilities:
• Live: Gate to create pools (hold 10M+ $FANS)
• Next: Staking & power-ups (leverage, multipliers)
• Next: Weekly mining (earn via XP & participation)
• Next: Governance (parameter and program control)
$FANS is the unit that instantiates new games and directs emissions.
Pools → Distribution → Liquidity → Governance.
Communities use $FANS to start competitions, fund liquidity, allocate supply, and then govern the parameters that created the value.
The future isn’t “deploy and hope.” It’s bootstrapping through merit-based, onchain incentives that coordinate liquidity, distribution, and community—end-to-end.
