Deposit Delegator
The Deposit Delegator is a powerful tool to enable others to win prizes on your behalf!
Delegation means you're giving another wallet additional chances to win prizes without losing custody of the underlying deposit. You share your odds with others but keep the funds.
Example: If I deposit $1,000 USDC, I can then "delegate" my deposit to any other wallet address. The wallet I delegate to will be able to check and claim prizes even if that wallet has no deposit.
The Deposit Delegator is a feature that allows to easily delegate portions of a PoolTogether deposit (in the form of PTaUSDC tickets) to multiple wallets (Delegatees). This increases the Delegatees chance of winning prizes by the delegated amount.
A Delegator can delegate to an unlimited amount of different wallets with individual amounts each.
- Protocols can deposit treasury funds and delegate to their users or token-holders
- Delegate to anyone holding a certain NFT or POAP
- Delegate to any wallet that does a certain onchain action in the last week (i.e. makes a trade on uniswap)
- Delegate to friends and family to effectively onboard them to DeFi
- Delegate to winners of your raffle
- Delegate to your contributors of the month
- Delegate to people who have never used crypto and hold no tokens but have a wallet address!
There are three roles within the Deposit Delegator feature:
Delegators can appoint representatives to manage delegations on their behalf. Representatives can create and update the delegations, but cannot withdraw any funds. A representative can be an individual person or a smart contract. If you want to set a Representative you can follow the instructions below.

2) A pop up to create a delegation will open. Enter the details as explained click on
Queue Creation. The delegation will be queued, meaning you can batch multiple delegations into on transaction to save on gas..png?alt=media&token=8cb9d7ea-0569-4596-95d4-ad4c92084ef8)
Disclaimer: If a lock duration is entered the Delegatee cannot be changed, and the funds cannot be withdrawn until the lock has expired.
3) You can now either:
- Click on
Save Changesto finish the delegation, or - add another delegation and repeat the previous process.
4) Clicking on
Save Changes will open a pop up to review & confirm your delegation(s). Once you sign the transaction in your wallet and confirm the contract interaction you are done. The delegation is live!.png?alt=media&token=860619f0-a56d-4322-84a7-18773a5e8727)
Each delegation is handled by a so-called “delegation slot”. Each delegation slot corresponds to a smart contract on the blockchain. This contract holds the tickets and delegates the chance of the held tickets to the Delegatee.
Instead of creating a new delegation slot every time, you can re-use existing slots by editing them. Only delegations without active time lock can be edited.
1) To edit existing delegation slots click on
edit on the bottom right and choose a delegation you want to update, by clicking on its 📝 icon.
2) The process of editing is the same as creating a delegation. You can change the Delegatee (delegation receiver), the delegated amount and have the option to add a time lock.
3) The updated delegations are queued until you click on
save changes and confirm them with an onchain transaction.Multiple delegations can be withdrawn in batches. Withdrawing from a delegation slot will add the tickets back to the balance of the Delegator.
1) In the Deposit Delegator click on
Withdraw.2) You can now choose which delegations you want to withdraw by checking the boxes in front of the Delegatee address. Once you selected all the delegation slots click on
Withdraw to confirm.
3) A pop up opens to review your withdrawals. Click on Confirm updates and confirm the onchain transaction in your wallet.
After withdrawing, the delegation slots remain with a balance of 0. You can re-use them for future delegations to other Delegatees by editing them as explained above.
Bulk Delegation allows delegating to many addresses at once by uploading a CSV with delegations. No more manually editing all your delegations.
- 1.
- 2.Edit the template. Delegatee is the address to delegate to. Lock duration is the amount of time (in seconds) until the delegator or representative can revoke the delegation. Set this value to 0 for no lock duration. Amount is the amount of the token to delegate.
- 3.Upload the CSV.
- 4.Submit delegation transaction(s).
Uploading a new CSV will overwrite all current onchain delegations.
Bulk Delegation may require multiple transactions. If they are not confirmed in your wallet in the proper order some transactions may fail.
This feature is in beta and may run slow when delegating to hundreds of addresses.
By setting an account representative you are able to appoint a manager for your delegations. Account representatives can edit your delegation positions while you maintain full custody of your deposit. That means they can create and update the delegations, but cannot withdraw any funds.
You can set or remove Representatives within the Deposit Delegator.
You can also claim prizes on behalf of other accounts via Smart Contract. The claimed prizes are added to the Delegatee's PTaUSDC balance and will remain in their wallet, even if you take the delegation back.
