Since Pool 1 had a lot of queries and folks had some questions understanding how it works, Here's a quick short guide for the next Pool before it kicks off:

1. You need LP Tokens which you will stake to earn TOOLS

2. You can get LP Tokens either by Staking your TOOLS in Pool 1, or by Adding Liquidity to the TOOLS-ETH pair on Uniswap

3. You will earn based on Tiers (6 Tiers in total, calculation attached)

TL:DR More LP Tokens = Larger share of the Pool, and higher interest rate

Eligibility as of latest snapshot*:

https://etherscan.io/token/0xdae6d9662c4904026ac311a5fdc8917fdc51971a#balances

0 Holders eligible for Tier 6 (20 LP Tokens after 1% Tax)
1 Holder eligible for Tier 5 (12 LP Tokens after 1% Tax)
3 Holders eligible for Tier 4 (8 LP Tokens after 1% Tax)
13 Holders eligible for Tier 3 (4 LP Tokens after 1% Tax)
20 Holders eligible for Tier 2 (2 LP Tokens after 1% Tax)
36 Holders eligible for Tier 1 (1 LP Token after 1% Tax)

So far $9,000+ has been added to liquidity by holders to generate LP Tokens for staking.

* = This is for wallet holdings as displayed, it does not account for holders who have split across multiple wallets and may be eligible to enter Tiers if they accumulate all LP Tokens into one Wallet.

How to add:

https://app.uniswap.org/pools

More -> V2 Liquidity -> Add V2 Liquidity -> Supply 50% $ value ETH and 50% $ value TOOLS

You will receive LP Tokens in your wallet.

From Uniswap: By adding liquidity you'll earn 0.3% of all trades on this pair proportional to your share of the pool. Fees are added to the pool, accrue in real time and can be claimed by withdrawing your liquidity

Minor Blocktools UI enhancement somewhere between an update and an upgrade, in progress.

No disruption expected. Ctrl + F5 if stuck.

Sticking to the basics while retaining look and feel, existing TOOLS holders should continue to find it in line with V1, some of the enhancements are tiny enough to escape notice.

Teaser attached.

Defi things x

Blocktools staking pool boosted with $5,000 worth of rewards for $TOOLS stakers.

Quick Update:

Minor revision made to UI where Net Assets in BTC and PAXG has been merged to display in USD (This is because the 3 BTC acquired in the $25,600-$26,500 range was swapped for profit at $34,300+, and PAXG at cost)

Re-acquisition will take place on the retest of earlier support, however the UI will continue to display in USD for ease of viewing.

Importantly: 1 ETH-TOOLS Uni V2 LP is trading for $520, having touched a peak of $550?

Congrats to all holding this from $280-$300 levels.

Always a pleasure to find one of our core POCs doing well.
