Wildlife Conservation Pool - Black Rhino (Proposal)

[Tjark]

Hey Brandon,
First of all: welcome to the community! Thanks for reaching out with your proposal.
I’m very bullish on the public goods & ReFi space and believe this is the only direction for a sustainable future.

Overall, the PoolTogether community has been very open to finding ways that can help to leverage the protocol for charitable causes. 1, 2, 3

A recent example is No Loss Donations. Users can easily delegate their funds to a wallet held by Unchain Ukraine, effectively donating their prizes without losing custody of the underlying deposit.
The mechanism behind this is the PoolTogether Deposit Delegator. You can find more about that here, and more technical here.

I have a few questions to fully understand what you are building and how it would work.

@BlackRhino

Our journey began in early 2020 and so far we have managed to partner with 5 endangered species, climate, and habitat conservation organizations from around the world

I’d love to hear more about your journey since 2020. Could you give a quick overview of Black Rhino’s milestones?
What are those projects and on what do you partner with them?

@BlackRhino

In our grant proposal, we have outlined a plan to utilize funding and tools from PoolTogether to build pools which will generate yield to provide consistent and stable revenue streams for the non-profit wildlife conservation organizations.

Is it possible to share the grant proposal here? It would be helpful to know more about the plan you outlined.

@BlackRhino

Users will be able to participate in pools and win prizes, while part of the yield generated will go towards a featured non-profit organization, voted on weekly or daily by users.

Does that mean you are planning to deploy a PoolTogether v3 pool?

Excited to be hearing more!
