The PowerPool is a protocol for pooling governance tokens (GTs), such as COMP, BAL, LEND, YFI, BZRX, AKRO, and others.

The CVP token (which stands for Concentrated Voting Power) is a core element of PowerPool’s incentive design. It was created with the aim of ensuring the stable operation of the meta-governance model, to bootstrap user adoption of the protocol, attract liquidity, and grow the number of governed protocols.

The CVP token can be received only via liquidity mining (in testnet rounds and in the near future on mainnet). There is no pre-mine or a token sale.

The official Concentrated Voting Power ticker is “CVP” and trades under that name on all the exchanges where it has been listed. The designation “CVPT” is for CryptoCompare.com only.
