Hello πŸ‘‹ Today we did the redelegation of the [Cardano Foundation Wallets](https://pool.pm/cf/stake). It has been **exactly one year** since we changed the delegation strategy to [support the Architects of the Future](https://forum.cardano.org/t/cardano-foundations-new-delegation-methodology-supporting-the-architects-of-the-future/79594). Interestingly, this time the participation was a bit lower than usual, a few stake pool operators also let us know that they intentionally did not apply to give the others a higher chance. Greetings to @Alexd1985 in this regard! A brief overview of the statistics in this round: - We got **188** applications this time. - We evaluated them manually and checked all the information they provided. We found builder tools, open-source projects, closed-source projects, many pull requests, some CIP, educational content, whole communities around projects, and many other contributions and support to the growth of the Cardano Community. We appreciate what these pools are doing, and we would like to give these **140** pools honorable mentions here. (see list below) - We have identified **58** of them as **outstanding contributions**. See the list below. (note: pools that we would oversaturate have already been deducted here) - We did a random draw and delegated to **45** pools. Visit [pool.pm](https://pool.pm/cf/stake) to get a real-time representation of the delegated wallets. Congrats to everyone! And thank you for taking part, even if you did not make one of the lists this time. We will open a **new application form in December** to apply for the next round. **To the 140 pools receiving honorable mentions in this round, please do keep up your good work and support of the growth of the Cardano Community:** > | Ticker | Ticker | Ticker | Ticker | Ticker | > | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | > | 0AAAA | 1COMM | 247 | 314 | 46S | > | 9000 | A3C | AAA | ADA | ADACT | > | ADAPH | ADAUT | ADMON | ADP | ADRIA | > | AGUA | AHL | ALFA | ANCO | AOS | > | APEX | ARARE | ARM1 | ARMN | ASN | > | BBHMM | BERRY | BEST1 | BICEP | BIRTH | > | BITB | BLESS | BLOXB | BNTY1 | BRAVE | > | C2VN | C3ETH | CARDS | CCIO | CENT | > | CHEF | CHG | CHIL | COCO | COSD | > | CRPL | CSCS | DECNT | DSIO | EASY1 | > | EPOCH | EU01 | EVT | FATTY | FFR | > | FIKA | FLAN | FLUX | GAIA | GMBL | > | GRANA | GRC1 | HAZEL | HEART | HERO | > | HODLR | HONEY | HOWI | HWL | HYPER | > | ISR | ITZA | JUNO | KTOP | KUNI | > | LEAD | LIDO | LOGIC | LOXE | MALU | > | MAMBA | MDS | MOAI | MOKUM | MONAD | > | MOXIE | NANI | NINJZ | NOMAD | ONE1 | > | OTAKU | OTG | PARIS | PEAK | PEGA | > | PHRCK | PIADA | POEM | POOLS | PRIDE | > | PSB | QCPOL | QXT | RABIT | RCADA | > | RDLRT | RIOT | RKDN | SAFE | SAKE | > | SASA | SHARP | SMAUG | SNAKE | SNSKY | > | SOLPI | SPIDR | SPRO | STKGR | STLL | > | STOIC | SWAG | SWARM | TANGO | TCHP | > | TECH | TIK | TRADA | TREK | TTS17 | > | UNDR | UPSTR | VELA | VICE | VLHLA | > | VOLCY | VROOM | WOOF | YOADA | ZW3RK | **The shortlist of 58 pools in this round:** > | Ticker | Ticker | Ticker | > | --- | --- | --- | > | 0AAAA | 247 | 9000 | > | AAA | ADA | ADAPH | > | ADRIA | AHL | AOS | > | APEX | ARMN | BERRY | > | BLOXB | BNTY1 | CCIO | > | CENT | COSD | CSCS | > | DSIO | EPOCH | EU01 | > | EVT | FFR | FLAN | > | GMBL | GRC1 | HAZEL | > | HEART | HERO | HOWI | > | ISR | JUNO | LIDO | > | LOGIC | LOXE | MALU | > | MOXIE | NOMAD | PEGA | > | PIADA | POOLS | PRIDE | > | QCPOL | QXT | RDLRT | > | SAFE | SAKE | SHARP | > | SMAUG | SNSKY | SOLPI | > | SPIDR | SWAG | SWARM | > | TANGO | UNDR | VICE | > | WOOF | ZW3RK | | **The 45 pools that were randomly drawn:** > | Ticker | Ticker | Ticker | > | --- | --- | --- | > | 0AAAA | EVT | QCPOL | > | 9000 | FFR | RDLRT | > | ADA | GMBL | SAFE | > | AHL | HAZEL | SAKE | > | AOS | HEART | SHARP | > | ARMN | ISR | SMAUG | > | BERRY | JUNO | SNSKY | > | BLOXB | LOGIC | SOLPI | > | CCIO | LOXE | SPIDR | > | CENT | MALU | SWARM | > | COSD | MOXIE | TANGO | > | CRC1 | NOMAD | UNDR | > | DSIO | PEGA | VICE | > | EPOCH | PIADA | WOOF | > | EU01 | PRIDE | ZW3RK | If you are interested in new delegation rounds and other related information, please let us know your ticker and email address: [https://cardanocommunity.typeform.com/cf-delegation](https://cardanocommunity.typeform.com/cf-delegation) ---

After more than 128 epochs of life of our stake pool, we are very grateful to have made the shortlist and we feel very lucky to have been chosen by the random()πŸ˜‚ function for the first time in our stake pool history. Thank you very much for this opportunity! Congratulations to the selected stake pools and for the others who were not selected, keep up the good work, your turn will come! ---

Luck was on our side this time - thanks to all our fellow builders and contributors for making this space so enjoyable to work in, and to CF for the trust. We’ll work on further bringing community integration tools to the ecosystem these coming three months \<3 ---

Congrats to all the winners! I can see tickers of people that are really helping to shape the way Cardano grows. Has the selection criteria changed? I have no problems obviously for my pool not receiving delegation, but considering the amount of work we do in the community (literally just released a full italian website called casacardano.it), the development of an industry first like ArgusNFT, I’m a little bit surprised of not even appearing in the shortlist. Again huge congrats to the winners, each and everyone of you deserve the CF support! ---

Congratulations to all selected stake pools! I suggest, for next time, to make a video of the random draw for more transparency. It is not much extra work to do and this way we avoid suspicions.
