  Each RigoBlock pool proxy is deployed by the proxy factory, which also serves
  as a beacon for pool implementation upgrades

# Proxies

* proxy --> the contract which delegates calls to the implementation
* proxy factory --> the proxy deployer contract. Produces a unique pool ID, which is stored in a mapping in the registry. A user inputs a name of maximum 31 characters and a symbol between 3 and 5 characters and a base tokens, the factory deploys the proxy, updates its initialization storage values and registers the pool at the pool registry. Limiting the name length to 31 bytes is required for storing a name in its deterministic slot. A name longer than that, in fact, would be stored in a different storage slot (the assigned storage slot would only store the string length).
