Introducing the New $POOLZ: A New Chapter for Poolz Pad
Poolz was originally launched in 2020.
Poolz was originally launched in 2020.
Since then, the project has gone through multiple iterations, market cycles, products, hacks and team members. What started years ago has evolved significantly — and the latest chapter represents the biggest transformation yet:
Poolz is moving from BNB Chain to Robinhood Chain (RHC).
Alongside that migration comes a new team, a new platform, a new token, and a fundamentally different approach to how users participate in Poolz Pad.
Over the past nine months, you’ve seen a steady stream of updates and changes across Poolz. That is largely the result of the new team taking responsibility for the project and laying the foundation for this next phase.
Today, we want to explain where things stand, why we are conducting a small fundraise, how the new $POOLZ token works, and what holders, traders, legacy $POOLX holders, and the broader Poolz community can expect.
The New $POOLZ
The new $POOLZ token on Robinhood Chain is designed around a simple concept:
Trading $POOLZ is the primary mechanism for securing access to Poolz Pad allocations.
Rather than treating the token purely as a passive access key, the new model makes trading activity an integral part of the Poolz ecosystem.
As the platform launches and presales become available, users will be able to access allocations through the new participation model, which incorporates trading and holding requirements.
And there is another important component:
Trading $POOLZ directly contributes to token buybacks and burns.
Every buy and sell transaction carries a nominal 1.25% hook fee, enabled through Uniswap v4 technology.
The fee is structured as follows:
0.25% goes directly back into the liquidity pool, consistent with the applicable Uniswap mechanism.
The remaining 1% is allocated across:
- Buyback & burn
- Trader rewards
- Ecosystem growth
The goal is to create an ecosystem where activity around the token directly feeds back into the token and the platform.
Why Is Poolz Raising $100,000?
Poolz Pad is conducting a relatively small $100,000 fundraise at a $400,000 fully diluted valuation (FDV).
At that valuation, the token price is approximately:
$0.00727273 per $POOLZ
The raise represents 25% of the total token supply.
Why raise?
There are three primary reasons.
1. Fund development
The new Poolz Pad platform is actively under development.
The fundraise provides capital to continue building the platform, including the infrastructure required for the new presale and allocation system.
2. Establish meaningful liquidity
A new token needs sufficient liquidity to function effectively from day one.
Part of the capital and token allocation will therefore be used to establish the initial liquidity environment for $POOLZ.
3. Launch and grow the ecosystem
The third component is marketing and ecosystem growth.
Poolz is entering a new ecosystem, launching a new token, and introducing a new product. That requires resources for marketing, partnerships, community campaigns, influencers, listings, and broader awareness.
The objective isn’t simply to launch another token.
The objective is to build the next version of Poolz Pad.
The $POOLZ Supply
Total Supply: 55,000,000 $POOLZ
Launch FDV: $400,000
Launch Price: ~$0.00727273
Raise: $100,000
Here is the complete allocation:
27,500,000 $POOLZ
This allocation is reserved for legitimate legacy $POOLX holders who completed the migration/claim process.
The migration submissions were thoroughly reviewed, and the team identified a significant number of fraudulent submissions.
Based on the review, at least 50% of submissions were identified as fraudulent.
Those legitimate former $POOLX holders who successfully completed the process will receive their corresponding $POOLZ allocation.
The tokens will become claimable through the new claiming portal shortly after the launch of $POOLZ.
Importantly, legitimate legacy holders are not being forgotten.
The new token is being built with the history of Poolz in mind.
13,750,000 $POOLZ
This represents the $100,000 raise at a $400,000 FDV.
The $400,000 launch FDV is also approximately 20% below the pre-hack market capitalization of the old $POOLX token on BNB Chain.
One important point about the new raise:
100% of the tokens in the sale allocation will be unlocked at launch.
Investors will be able to claim their tokens shortly after $POOLZ launches.
This structure is intended to remain consistent with current market expectations around token launches and avoid creating a long period of artificial selling pressure from future unlocks. 100% of POOLX was in circulation, so the same will apply with $POOLZ.
3,300,000 $POOLZ
This allocation will be used to seed the initial Uniswap v4 liquidity pool.
The initial target includes approximately:
$24,000 in $POOLZ + $24,000 in ETH along with the additional pairs such as $PONS that will add value to $POOLZ.
The objective is to provide a functional trading market rather than launching with minimal liquidity.
5,500,000 $POOLZ
This allocation is for the new core contributors, including the lead developer and core team.
This is important context.
There is a new team building Poolz.
The people currently working on the project are not the same team that originally launched Poolz in 2020.
The team allocation exists to keep the people responsible for building and operating Poolz Pad incentivized over the long term.
The intention is to give the new team a reason to continue building, improving, and growing Poolz Pad through its next phase — with a target horizon extending over the coming years.
2,750,000 $POOLZ
Marketing, partnerships, listings, influencers, community campaigns, and ecosystem growth.
Launching on a new chain with a new product requires a new audience.
This allocation is intended to help Poolz reach that audience.
2,200,000 $POOLZ
This is a new concept being introduced with the new $POOLZ model.
Learn about Medium’s values
For the first 8 months after launch, an additional:
275,000 $POOLZ per month
will be distributed among the 25 most active traders, on a pro-rata basis according to their on-chain trading activity.
These rewards are in addition to the stablecoin rewards associated with trading.
The idea is straightforward:
If trading is going to become an important part of the Poolz Pad allocation mechanism, then the traders who contribute the most activity should have an additional incentive to participate.
The Buyback & Burn Mechanism
One of the most important changes with $POOLZ is that trading activity is connected directly to the token’s economics.
Every transaction carries a 1.25% hook fee.
The fee allocation is:
0.25% → Liquidity
1.00% → Buyback & Burn + Trader Rewards + Ecosystem Growth
The remaining 1% is split evenly between those three areas.
That means approximately:
0.3333% of trading volume → Buyback & Burn
0.3333% → Ecosystem Growth
This creates a direct relationship between activity on the $POOLZ market and the broader Poolz ecosystem.
For example, when $POOLZ reaches $100,000 in trading volume per day, that represents roughly $3 million in monthly volume using a 30-day month.
At a ~0.3333% buyback allocation, that would translate to approximately:
$10,000/month directed toward buybacks and burns.
The remaining portions of the 1% allocation would support trader rewards and ecosystem growth.
And, of course, actual results will vary depending on trading volume and the distribution of activity.
What Happens to Old $POOLX?
Legacy $POOLX holders who successfully and non-fraudulently completed the migration form can sell their old $POOLX tokens at any time.
For legitimate former holders who qualify for the legacy airdrop, the new $POOLZ allocation will be claimable shortly after launch through the new claiming portal.
The goal is to preserve the connection between Poolz’s history and its next chapter while simultaneously moving the project forward.
No Artificial Vesting at Launch
Another important point:
100% of the tokens in every category will be unlocked at launch.
Investors will be able to claim their tokens shortly after $POOLZ launches.
This applies to the sale allocation, while the other categories are allocated according to their respective purposes.
The decision is intended to reflect how the market increasingly expects launches to be structured today.
Rather than creating a complicated series of future unlock events, the token is being launched with transparency around the full supply and its allocation.
What Happens If We Don’t Raise the Full $100K?
The $100,000 target is a hard cap, but the project does not depend on reaching the full amount to launch.
The soft cap is $50,000.
If the raise reaches the soft cap but does not reach $100,000, $POOLZ will still launch.
The primary difference would be that the project would launch with less initial liquidity and potentially a lower FDV.
In other words:
$100K is the target, not a requirement for the launch to happen.
What’s Coming Next?
The platform is currently under development.
The team expects to reveal Poolz Pad v1 to the broader community soon.
The current timeline is:
Next week:
Open the raise to the initial groups.
Next 1–2 weeks:
Complete the first version of the Poolz Pad platform.
Coming weeks:
Expand the raise to the broader community and relevant external communities.
Within 60 days:
Complete the raise and launch $POOLZ.
The initial raise will be opened progressively, beginning with the Poolz Council, Poolz community, members, and selected influencer/community networks, before potentially expanding to a wider audience.
As development progresses, additional information will be released.
The Bigger Picture
The move from BNB Chain to Robinhood Chain is not simply a chain migration.
It represents a new phase for Poolz.
New team.
New platform.
New token.
New allocation model.
New trading incentives.
New token economics.
And a new opportunity to build Poolz Pad around the lessons learned since 2020.
The objective is to create a flywheel:
More traders → more activity
More activity → more rewards
More volume → more buybacks
More buybacks → more $POOLZ burned
More users → more demand for allocations
More presales → more reasons to participate
The team believes that combining the trading incentives, upcoming presales, allocation utility, and broader market environment can help Poolz work toward its longer-term objective of reaching $1m in daily trading volume.
But the immediate objective is much simpler:
Build the platform.
Launch the token.
Create liquidity.
Bring users back.
Start shipping.
Poolz has existed since 2020.
What comes next is a new chapter.
Thank you to everyone who has continued supporting Poolz Pad through all of the iterations, changes, migrations, and challenges over the years.
We’re excited to finally show you what the new team has been building.
