About P00LS

P00LS is the first financial market for the creator economy running on Ethereum. Using 1) social tokens to put a $ value on influence and 2) decentralized finance to generate economic activity and fees from these tokens, we allow creators to monetize in a healthy, scalable and sustainable way their influence. By creating a financial market on influence, we allow investors to bet and invest on their favorite creators, sharing the value of their work and allowing their ideas to have an economic reality.
