# Public Pool Smaller allocations, typically associated with flash sales, are available for individuals who still hold $GVC but either lack sufficient tokens or choose not to stake them in our tiered staking pools. Public Pool allocations operate on a first-come, first-served basis through a lottery system, in contrast to the guaranteed allocations provided in the private pools. * In the event that the public pool does not fill up, the remaining allocation will be offered to GVC stakeholders. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
