Fixed Cost Sharing



Combine the best rate while supporting a small but honest, innovative and reliable pool
We are serious about being transparent with our delegators. The truth is that in Cardano’s current reward scheme a small pool cannot provide competitive rates compared to big pools. To compensate the issue we are sharing our fixed cost based income with our delegators to achieve a ROA which competes with bigger pools.

The Dilemma

Delegate stake to a small pool is not an easy choice from a delegator perspective. Bigger Pools provide better returns because the fixed cost splits across multiple delegators. Additionally returns come in very infrequent. Anyways centralizing to a few big operators like exchanges is against the decentral vision of Cardano. We understood this dilemma and want to compensate it with an unique offer.

The Offer - Fixed Cost Sharing

We want to generate high rewards despite our small Pool size. To achieve a good ROA we share 240 of the 340 ADA fixed cost with our delegators.

Benchmark Rate

Mathematically the ROA of our pool is comparable to a pool with ~3.5M active stake.

Fixed Cost Sharing

To achieve the benchmark rate we share the fixed cost. A remaining part of 100 ADA stays with the operator

Grow together

You get over average rewards and we get a fair chance to mint a constant amount of blocks earlier. Let's grow together!

Rewards flow in detail

Our Rewards Flow Rewards

Details

  • Starting from Epoch 296 we share fixed cost in every Epoch which generates Rewards (at least one block)
  • With the current saturation of ~250k ADA the payout will happen 1 times / month on average. This can vary based on luck.
  • 100 ADA of the fixed cost stays at the operator. The rest is distributed based on active stake.
  • You can find a detailed calculations of your rewards in the App, or in the online google sheet.

Terms

  • No legal claim.
  • Rewards can only be shared if a block is generated. This depends on luck in the Cardano network. On average 1 block is assigned per epoch with 1 million active stake.
  • If the benchmark rate is not achievable even by sharing all 340 ADA of fixed cost we are sharing the full fixed cost but are not adding additional rewards.
  • The payout is timed in alignment with Cardanos Delegation cycle explained here
  • If you move to a different pool open fixed cost sharing payments loose validity. This does NOT affect native Cardano Rewards which are anyways paid out.
