Pools Hierarchy

Summary: The top-level definitions involve the definition of pools that intervene in the distribution of tokens.
Governance->Node->Pools->Definition

The Superalgos Pools is the top-level hierarchy kickstarting the definition of the whole Superalgos Project. It features the definition of several Pool nodes describing the main areas of project development that the Community wishes to incentivize.
Governance->Node->Pools->Content
In essence, this hierarchy is used to determine how the tokens allocated to each release will be distributed.
To produce unequivocal definitions, the hierarchy uses two specific resources:
  • On one hand, the data structure represented by the hierarchy itself describes the organization of the Project, fragmenting specific incumbencies into specific distribution pools. This allows the granular allocation of tokens.
  • On the other hand, each Pool may accept Weight Votes from User Profiles. This is how the Community determines how many tokens will go to each distribution pool.
In addition, there is a third resource characteristic to the Pool Hierarchy. Each Pool may reference a separate Pools hierarchy so that the definitions may continue on a separate hierarchy, which may be included as a plugin in the same or in separate Governance Workspaces.
A Pool may also reference other types of hierarchies, namely Positions, Assets, and Features. These hierarchies take the granularity of the definition to a whole new level! But we’ll go into those later on!
This resource allows fragmenting the definitions of how the project is organized, for readability, organizational, and logistical reasons:
  • a single hierarchy describing the whole Superalgos Project and every other project within would grow too big and be cumbersome to deal with;
  • each hierarchy may be defined and maintained by different people or teams;
  • each hierarchy may be better visualized in different workspaces in which they may interact with other definitions; etc.

Summary: Superalgos Pools is the top-level hierarchy kickstarting the definition of the whole Superalgos Project. It features the definition of several Pool nodes describing the main areas of project development that the Community wishes to incentivize.
Governance->Concept->Superalgos Pools->Content
Because this is the highest level definition of how tokens will be distributed, the Superalgos Pools hierarchy is present in all Governance Workspaces.

The Pool Class node is an organizational device used to arrange Pool nodes in suitable hierarchical structures. Use this node to spawn other Pool Class nodes and Pool nodes.

A Pool represents a high-level container of Token Rewards. The node may receive Weight Votes and route Token Rewards to other hierarchies via references. Contributors may direct Weight Votes to Pool nodes to affect how many tokens will be routed to and distributed at the referenced hierarchy.
Governance->Node->Pool->Content
Pool nodes may be nested in arbitrary levels and may be arranged under Pool Class nodes or directly under other Pool nodes. When they reference another hierarchy, the definition of the organization of the Project continues in the said hierarchy.
When you direct Weight Votes into a Pool node, you are effectively increasing the weight of the pool in the eventual distribution of tokens by the number of votes you are directing to it. The Pool will get a portion of the tokens assigned to the Pools hierarchy in proportion to the total number of incoming Weight Votes. If a Pool has no incoming Weight Votes, it gets zero tokens.
Pool nodes with incoming Weight Votes display the following pieces of information:
  • Number of Votes: the total number of Weight Votes directed at the node.
  • Number of Tokens Awarded: the total number of tokens the Pool gets for the votes it has.
  • Weight: The total weight of the Pool is expressed as a percentage of the total Weight Votes directed at the whole hierarchy.
We mentioned that Pool nodes may pass on Token Rewards to other hierarchies which, in turn, further break up the definitions of where tokens go to. We’ll explore those hierarchies in the next few pages.
