  • The Ouroboros Path to Descentralization

Did you know? Cardano staking pools saturates at 64 millon staked ada, making it not profitable to continue staking on that pool. Hence more pools are created making it naturally descentralized.

Aditionally, thanks to descentralized staking pools, it is posible for specific projects to allow nft staking!

Note: The green color means single pool operators!
