PowerPool Concentrated Voting Power (CVP) is a protocol aimed at accumulating governance power within Ethereum-based protocols by pooling tokens. It is a decentralised network that automates on-chain strategies and actions through Keeper bots, enabling users to pool, lend, and borrow governance tokens in a permissionless manner. This enhances their voting power in DeFi protocols.
PowerPool operates on a decentralised network using a Proof of Stake consensus mechanism where participants must stake CVP to operate a Keeper node. This staking ensures the network's integrity, as it acts as a safeguard against malicious activities. The network utilises algorithms such as Verifiable Random Function (VRF) for Keeper selection and is researching ZK-powered off-chain computations for data input and task execution. Smart contracts like PowerAgent V2 facilitate the automation of AI-generated tasks and user submissions within the platform.
PowerPool CVP can be used in various applications:
PowerPool was founded in August 2020 by LeeRoy Oshiya and Not.Satoshi. Initially designed as a meta-management protocol, it evolved to focus on automated DeFi products due to community feedback. The protocol has integrated with major Ethereum-based DeFi ecosystems, developed PowerAgent V2 for executing automated tasks seamlessly, and expanded to support cross-chain operations. The CVP token was distributed without venture funding, emphasising community and liquidity providers.
