# Pools

Token Circulation

A project can meet various needs of its tokens by creating custom pools. For example, it accomplishes the initial token circulation by creating a Candy Pool, fulfills the demands for fundraising by establishing a Public Offering Pool, increases the liquidity of its token and liquidity mining by creating a Liquidity Pool, secures the needs for more types of tokens by setting up a Staking Pool, implements the DAO governance of the project by creating a Governance Pool, and captures the intrinsic token value of the project by creating a Liquidity Bootstrapping Pool, et cetera.
