Introduction

Polli is a staking optimization platform built for treasuries and delegation managers, informed by pro staking workflows across Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchains. It guides users through the staking process - even those with no prior experience -while helping them maximize returns through intelligent automation.

Polli’s staking dashboard and AI were designed for both private and institutional operators, and the permissionless portal is a simplified experience that still holds the same intelligence used by professional staking teams.

Polli currently supports the Cosmos Ecosystem, including tokens like ATOM, OSMOSIS, and LAVA, and is actively expanding to other chains within Cosmos. Support for Solana and Ethereum staking optimizations is also on the horizon.

Core Purpose​

The main goals of Polli are:

  • 📈 Optimize staking returns for users
  • 🤖 Automate repetitive and technical staking actions
  • 🧭 Guide beginners with staking best practices
  • 🔗 Ensure diversification and risk management in validator selection

Optimization Products​

Polli offers two distinct optimization products tailored for different user needs:

Retail Optimization​

Designed for individual stakers who want to maximize returns with minimal effort. Polli automates reward compounding, validator selection, and portfolio diversification across Cosmos-based chains and Lava Network.

  • Cosmos Optimization - full staking optimization for ATOM, OSMOSIS, and other Cosmos chains
  • Lava Optimization - specialized optimization for Lava Network's unique dualstaking mechanism

Treasury Optimization​

Institutional-grade staking management for multisig treasury wallets, foundations, and DAOs. Full control over validator selection, allocation preferences, and automation rules - with optional fee-free deployment for qualified partners.

AI-Driven Advanced Optimization​

Beyond traditional rule-based optimization, Polli leverages advanced reinforcement learning to continuously improve staking strategies across Solana and Cosmos ecosystems. Our specialized AI agent learns directly from blockchain data, analyzing patterns across thousands of validators to make increasingly sophisticated allocation decisions that maximize returns while managing risk.

Unlike conversational AI models, our system uses purpose-built reinforcement learning - the same technology behind autonomous systems and strategic decision-making in complex environments. The AI continuously adapts to changing network conditions, making allocation decisions that would be impossible to optimize manually given the complexity and scale of data involved.

Your Funds Are Safe​

Polli never holds or controls your funds. Polli platform operates as non-castodial, using blockchain-native permission systems (Authz grants) that allow us to perform specific, staking actions on your behalf, but we cannot:

  • ❌ Transfer your staked funds to other addresses (except for service fees, explained below)
  • ❌ Access your wallet or private keys

Your assets remain in your wallet at all times, secured by the blockchain's consensus mechanism. You maintain full ownership and can revoke Polli's permissions whenever you choose.

Security Audit by Hacken​

To further reinforce the safety of our platform, Polli underwent a comprehensive Pentest and Security Analysis conducted by Hacken, a leading blockchain security firm. The primary goal of this audit was to protect our users by ensuring that the platform's funds management logic is robust and free of vulnerabilities. While Polli is fully non-custodial and never holds user assets, optimization operations such as compounding, redelegating, and validator selection must function flawlessly. Any flaw in these processes could result in suboptimal performance or delegation to underperforming validators, directly impacting user returns.

The audit confirmed the strength of our platform. Any minor findings, classified as presenting no risk to the system and typically relating to code quality improvements or general recommendations rather than security threats, were promptly addressed and resolved.

Going forward, we are committed to auditing every major feature we introduce to the platform. As Polli expands to manage foundation treasuries and serve a growing base of retail users, we will continue to engage independent security firms to verify that all funds management processes remain safe, secure, and optimized.

Required Permissions​

To enable automated optimization, Polli requires specific, limited permissions granted through blockchain-native authorization systems. These permissions vary by optimization type and blockchain, but typically include:

  • Staking/Delegation Permissions - allows Polli to delegate (compound) your rewards
  • Redelegation Permissions - enables automatic rebalancing between validators
  • Reward Claim Permissions - permits claiming of staking rewards for compounding

Specific permission requirements are detailed in each optimization product's documentation.

Send Authorization for Fee Collection​

Polli charges a small service fee for optimization services. To collect this fee, you grant a Send Authorization that allows Polli to transfer a limited amount of tokens from your wallet. This authorization is strictly capped:

  • 🔒 Limited to a small percentage of your delegation (typically 2-5% annually)
  • 🔒 Cannot exceed the specified spend limit you authorize
  • 🔒 Renewable and revocable at any time by you
  • 🔒 Only triggered during successful optimization operations

This ensures that even with send authorization, Polli can only collect the agreed-upon fees and cannot access your principal stake or excessive amounts.

Dynamic Service Fee Model​

Unlike fixed-fee models, Polli's optimization uses a performance-based fee structure:

  • Service fee is calculated based on the value we create for you
  • Fee = (Your Portfolio APR - Network Average APR) * 40%
  • If your portfolio underperforms the network average, you pay zero fees
  • Fee is capped at a maximum percentage to ensure fairness

This aligns our incentives with yours - we only earn when we deliver superior returns.

Optimization Frequency​

Our optimization engine runs on a scheduled basis (typically hourly) to check if any actions are needed. However, actions are only executed when they are profitable and beneficial for your portfolio. This means:

  • Compounding only occurs when the rewards exceed transaction costs
  • Redelegations only happen when a validator's performance justifies the change
  • Balancing adjustments are made only when portfolio distribution needs correction

You'll never pay fees for unnecessary transactions.
