Managing a Successful CP Pool (Owner & Investor Guide)

This guide explains how to collect funds from a successfully completed Counterparty (CP) Pool and distribute profits among contributors.
It covers two perspectives:

• Owner Flow → steps performed by the pool creator/owner
• Investor Flow → steps performed by contributors/investors

---

1. Owner Flow

1.1 Collecting Funds

In this example, the pool is considered successful because the funding target has been met:

• Target: 50 USDC
• Raised: 50 USDC

This view shows the pool details from the perspective of the pool owner. Once the pool reaches its goal, the Collect button becomes available on the right-hand side, allowing the owner to initiate the collection process.

The pool summary section provides an at-a-glance view of the key parameters:

• Min / Max USDC → Minimum and maximum allowed contributions
• USDC Deposited / Total Committed → Amount already contributed vs total commitment
• Deadlines → Contribution deadline and liquidation deadline for repayments
• APR and Term → Expected APR, minimum APR accepted, and pool duration

These details confirm that the pool conditions have been satisfied and that funds can now be collected by the owner.

Clicking the button opens a wallet confirmation request (e.g., MetaMask):

Steps:

• Verify the transaction details.
• Confirm the network fee (gas cost).
• Approve the transaction to proceed with collection.

After confirming, the button changes state to indicate that funds are being collected:

At this stage, the transaction is processing on-chain. Once confirmed, the funds are transferred to the pool owner’s wallet.

1.2 Collect Result (Owner Balance)

When the pool reaches its target and the Collect action is confirmed, the committed funds are transferred to the pool owner’s wallet.

Example:

• Total Committed: 50 USDC
• Collected by Owner: 49 USDC

The difference of 1 USDC represents the platform fee.

• The pool owner receives the remaining 49 USDC.
• Investors do not directly get these funds. They wait for the owner to deposit rewards.

This ensures that the platform fee is accounted for while still enabling the reward distribution process.

1.3 After Collect (Owner View)

After collecting, the pool owner sees an updated view that includes the option to deposit rewards.

From the owner perspective:

• Status is now Active
• Total Rewards = 0 USDC (no rewards yet)
• A new input field and button appear to deposit rewards

1.4 Depositing Rewards

1.4.1 How much to deposit?

The total deposit amount = Principal + Rewards

1. Principal → Total contributions raised from investors
2. Rewards (Profit / APR) → Interest promised, based on APR × term

Formula:
Total Deposit = Principal + (Principal × APR × (Term / 12))

Example:

• Principal = 50 USDC
• Expected APR = 18.25%
• Expected Term = 1 month (1/12 year)

Reward = 50 × 0.1825 × (1/12) ≈ 0.76 USDC
Total Deposit ≈ 50.76 USDC

The pool owner would enter 50.76 USDC (or round to 51 USDC for simplicity).

1.4.2 Approving USDC

Before depositing, the owner must approve the contract to use the required USDC.

Confirm the spending cap request in your wallet.

1.4.3 Deposit Rewards

Once approved, the Deposit Rewards button becomes active.
Enter the required amount and confirm the transaction.

1.4.4 Confirmation

After successful deposit, the UI updates:

• Investors will now see their Available rewards
• Pool status reflects deposited rewards
• Each investor can proceed to Claim their proportional share

2. Investor Flow

2.1 After Collect (Investor View)

Once the pool owner has collected the funds, investors see:

• Pool status: Active
• Total Rewards = 0 USDC (no deposit yet)
• Claim panel shows Available = 0, Claimed = 0
• History shows the “Collected” event

At this stage, investors must wait for the owner to deposit rewards.

2.2 Claiming Rewards

2.2.1 Investor Dashboard

When rewards are deposited, the Claim panel updates:

• Available → USDC available to claim
• Claimed → Total already withdrawn
• Claim Button → Starts claim transaction

Example:
Investor contributed 25 USDC into a pool with 50 USDC total.
Owner deposited 50.76 USDC back.

Share = (25 / 50) × 50.76 ≈ 25.38 USDC
This appears under Available.

2.2.2 Claim Process

Steps for claiming:

1. Check Available balance
2. Click Claim
3. Wallet confirmation opens (e.g., MetaMask)
   • Verify claim amount
   • Confirm transaction (incl. gas fee)
4. After confirmation:
   • Available decreases
   • Claimed increases
   • Transaction logged in History

2.2.3 After a Successful Claim

After claiming, the panel shows:

• Available = 0 USDC
• Claimed = 25.38 USDC
• Claim button is disabled

History logs the claim:

This ensures full transparency for deposits, collections, rewards, and claims.
