Welcome to The Pulse — highlights of what's happening within Cardano and Voltairera. This month: the K parameter change, Voltairera's internal initiatives, and a status update on our 0% margin.
Cardano status updates
IOHK has continuously improved the network and added features. December 6 is when K goes from 100 to 500. Any pool with over 63 million ADA will be oversaturated, and diminishing rewards begin. VoltPool is at ~56 million (almost 90% saturated).
Voltairera status updates
VoltPool is pleased to announce we've been in the top 10 in the Daedalus wallet for the past four epochs — from #10 to #8 and now #7 out of over 1,300 pools! We wouldn't be here without our readers and delegators.
VoltPool margin
Pool margin is the percentage of an epoch's rewards paid to the pool operator. For example, if a pool generates 20,000 ADA in an epoch and charges 1%, the operator receives 200 ADA and delegators share the remaining 19,800. VoltPool has kept a 0% margin to grow, give back, and understand our costs.
VoltPool updates — rewards
- VoltPool is #8 in Daedalus.
- Produced 76 blocks from Epoch 226–232.
- Current return on stake of 5.81% for delegators.
- Never missed producing a block, with over 99.99% uptime since inception.
- Pool size ~56.5M (about 93% saturated) — a prime position for maximum rewards once K increases to 500.
