PoolTogether has introduced a new weekly event called the Friday Fireside Dev Chat. Scheduled every Friday at 6pm UTC, this event allows developers to meet with protocol and app developers, get answers to technical questions, and learn about the capabilities of the protocol. The Fireside Dev Chat is hosted on the PoolTogether Discord server. Additionally, PoolTogether has released a migration app that displays V3, V4, and V5 balances, enabling users to migrate to the newest prize vaults on Optimism or withdraw their funds. Remaining V4 rewards will be automatically claimed when using the app. Further details about the migration app and a commemorative NFT are available on PoolTogether's Mirror page.
