Pollen is a DeFi 2.0 asset management protocol that allows communities to curate fully optimized and dynamically rebalanced custom asset pools. Pollen recalibrates and optimizes asset pools, dynamically rebalancing based on market conditions. If the market tanks, the protocol adjusts portfolios to weather the storm. If there are hidden market opportunities, the protocol will seek them out. In a 24 hour market, where it is impossible to respond, the DAO acts on the token holder's behalf with aligned interests and goals.Pollen introduces two new assets to the Avalanche ecosystem and soon the Ethereum ecosystem as well: the PLN utility governance token and the vote-escrowed powered vePLN governance token. PLN token holders can create, manage, or delegate to virtual portfolios in order to earn rewards as well as play a role in governing the Pollen DAO. Additionally, PLN token holders have the option to lock their PLN tokens in return for vePLN tokens in order to receive boosted rewards as well as pro rata rights in order to prevent dilution.
