Cross Pool is a member of the Hot Cross product suite that offers a secure and decentralized way of rewarding users for staking both LP tokens and single-sided, traditional BEP20 tokens. The protocol can technically work for various staking scenarios and on any EVM network. However, in the first stage, it will be used as a means of distributing a new token and rewarding users for staking other LP or BEP20 tokens. The $HOTCROSS token itself was distributed in part by using Cross Pool.

💡 The total value of initial rewards emitted from Cross Pool during its second phase launch is $2.5M USD, with that consisting of a mix between $HOTCROSS stakers, $HOTCROSS-$BNB LP's, R&D pools, and a few partner-pools tossed in for good measure. 🤝

📌 Where do pools come from? For the most part pools come from third parties, i.e. other teams. During the initial launch phase, however, many of the non-$HOTCROSS pools are subsidized by us. Why? Two reasons: research and marketing. Without research we do not know what our users want. Without marketing who will discover the product? Riddle me this. 🐷
