# PTIP-90: Lesser POOL Distribution on Base
Last proposal ([see PTIP-89](https://www.tally.xyz/gov/pooltogether/proposal/103429462605512475648502997597225737978967376448470547257874741795750914460716)) to distribute POOL to based depositors during the planned grand prize boosting period did not pass. After some discussions with those against the proposal, it seems the main point of contention was the amount of POOL to distribute.
If you agree with this sentiment, consider voting to pass this proposal instead! The amount of POOL proposed to be distributed here has been reduced by 75%, down to 50,000 POOL.
If this proposal passes, the exact same plan of action will take place as described in PTIP-89, but with a diminished amount of POOL tokens.
# PTIP-89: POOL Distribution on Base
During a period of grand prize boosting on any given network (until the boost's completion), users of that network may see prize sizes increasing, but will have lesser chances to win prizes. See [PTIP-88](https://www.tally.xyz/gov/pooltogether/proposal/112658853953675115744900431708986565347040787660688975088630947212802928014941) or the [forum discussion](https://gov.pooltogether.com/t/rfc-pooltogether-growth-plan/3279) for more details on grand prize boosting.
Winning prizes are the bread and butter of PoolTogether, and so during this period we propose distributing POOL to users on Base using our existing rewards infrastructure. We've held a [snapshot vote](https://snapshot.org/#/pooltogether.eth/proposal/0x2c84de6b99fc05a27fa1472807475d54032d46c91473d5a7a520286cacc110f1) to determine what amount of POOL everyone seemed most comfortable with, reaching a majority consensus of 200k.
### The Plan
POOL rewards would be designated to each yield-generating prize vault on Base relative to their prize pool contributions (PPCs). This means that whichever prize vault contributes the most to growing the prizes, gets the most rewards!
The duration of these rewards would correspond to the grand prize boosting period. Pending the successful passing of PTBR-20, this would currently correspond to 2 months.
### Custody Details
This proposal directs the POOL tokens to a multisig controlled by Generation Software. These tokens would have to be bridged to Base, where they can then be split between our many prize vaults for distribution.
# PTIP-88: Grand Prize Boosting on Base
It's time for some big prizes...
We've been running with the assumption that there is a circular relationship between big prizes and more people saving money with PoolTogether. We've seen a bit of this with previous protocol version, but it's time to ***really*** put it to the test.
Over the past month we've had an active [discussion](https://gov.pooltogether.com/t/rfc-pooltogether-growth-plan/3279) on *how* to make this happen. Some details and projections of using the "GP Booster" contract were shared which I'll shortly comment on further below. More recently we've held a [snapshot vote](https://snapshot.org/#/pooltogether.eth/proposal/0xc1201ac197f43d500bd6588f56eb3613b780b86240cb39a719a18666a991aea7) on *where* to make this happen. We've chosen Base.
### How It Works
The ETH requested through this proposal would be linearly contributed to the prize pool on Base throughout a period of 2 months. While somewhat dependent on probability, recent estimates and onchain experiments show approximately ~70% of this value would increase the prize pool's grand prize tier (keeping in mind that half of this goes towards the next grand prize and the rest to following grand prizes). The other ~30% would increase other prize tiers' sizes as well as increase the chances of POOL stakers (przPOOL depositors) to win prizes.
Throughout this 2 month period the "GP Booster" contract itself will have a very high chance of winning prizes, in which case it instantly re-contributes the prize amount back into the prize pool. It is prevented from winning the grand prize. During this period, while prizes may be larger, the fact that users may not win as often points to the need for some temporary drip. Another proposal alongside this one will be posted to address this.
### Some Projections
With these estimates in mind it is expected that the next grand prize on Base would grow by approximately ~21 ETH. At current ETH prices, this is $70k. This amount does not take into consideration the 0.68 ETH ($2.2k) already in the Base prize pool's grand prize as well as any natural growth of deposits/yield during this 2 month period.
### Custody Details
This proposal directs the funds for this boosting to a multisig controlled by Generation Software. These funds would then be swapped for WETH, bridged to Base, and a "GP Booster" contract would have to be setup where these funds could finally be deposited.
