There are {{ C.PGG_Commons }} ECs in the the group project. Additionally, each member receives {{ C.PGG_investible }} ECs. You choose between investing into the group project or keeping the ECs for yourself.
Because the pool multiplies contributions by 1.5, the group earns more in total when everyone contributes. However, since the pool is shared equally, each member also benefits from others' contributions regardless of their own contribution.
Example 1: Suppose everyone contributes 100 ECs to the group project. Then, there would be 600 ECs in the pool. Each of you would earn (600 × 1.5) ÷ 3 = 300 ECs from the group project and 0 ECs from keeping.
Example 2: Suppose everyone keeps their 100 ECs for themselves and additionally everyone takes out 100 ECs from the group project. There would be 0 ECs in the pool. Each of you would earn 0 ECs from the group project and 200 ECs from keeping the ECs for yourselves.
