Our Mission
We believe in equal education and career opportunities for all, regardless of background, faith, gender or geography.
We will support such causes locally, nationally and internationationally.
We pledge to donate 100% of our profit to fund this cause.
We will help women and young people find education and develop careers in STEM.
- We will support local schools and communities.
- We will support national initiatives.
- We will support international initiatives in developing countries.
We recognise there are many skilled and dedicated people furthering this cause and we will seek them out and fund their efforts where we can. We aim to magnify, catalyse, envangelise and expand these efforts through our donations of rewards gained through this stake pool. Rewards will be earned in ADA and converted to the most appropriate currencies to help our partners.
Our Terms
We are running at the lowest possible fees to permit the growth of our stake pool and the funding supporting women and young people in STEM. You will not find any stake pool cheaper than this. Given our commitment to excellence we do not think you will find one with better provision either. We are commited to growth, and to maximise the rewards for you and our cause with high quality service and the lowest costs to you.
Our Margin
0% per epoch
- There is no margin at all until we reach 2m delegated ADA to grow our pool
- Once we reach 2m delegated ADA to margin will rise to 2%. All of this will go to the cause
- We will ensure our margin remains in the lowest 50% of all non zero stake pools. All margin will always go to the cause.
- Some people have asked if they can contribute more to the cause. We will provide a public cardano address that will add ADA directly to the stake pool pledge growing the value of the pool and providing ongoing rewards to our cause every epoch.
Our Fee
₳340 epoch
- From this, 40 ADA of each block generating epoch, will go to the cause. This is additional to the entire margin.
- This is the lowest permitted fee allowed by the Cardano network.
- Running a stake pool costs several hundreds of pounds per month. Cardano knows this and wants to ensure a high quality network run by professionals. We will cover our costs through the 300 ADA remaining from a block generating epoch.
- Until we reach 1.2m ADA delegated, some epochs may be lean, we are commited to funding the pool during these times.
Our Stake
₳10000 pledge
- We are pledging our own ADA to the stake pool to demonstrate our commitment and help it to grow.
- We will leave the rewards to grow through compound interest.
Understanding the figures

|
As a consequence of our commitment to grow the pool, through 0% margin you will receive 100% of all staking rewards until the 2m ADA is reached. Meanwhile we will continue to donate 40 ADA each block making epoch.
Good cause, but I'm not sure what you're talking about...
