Is 'permissionless' regarding Nitro Pools mean there won't be a community vote on whether the pool will be deployed?

When I try depositing a position into the Nitro Pool, it says the position is incompatible. Why is that?

To be able to deposit your position into the nitro pool, your position has to fulfill the following requirements:

  • Lock Duration

  • A minimum end lock

  • Minimal deposit amount

  • In some cases, your address has to be whitelisted if the deployer of the pool chooses this option

A customized external requirement may also be required in some cases
