Delegation Analysis for Epoch 220

In this week’s delegation analysis video, we included a new plot of the lifetime ROS for every pool versus the total stake and explain what it means. Please check it out here!

Epoch 220 (27 September to 2 October 2020) network parameters:

k d Total stake Registered pools
150 0.640 15.86B ₳ 1091

The stake snapshot for epoch 220 occurred on 9/22/2020. The total staked ADA increased by 0.65% since the last epoch, up to 49.96%. We saw a sharp decrease in the number of active pools this epoch - down 75 pools to 1091. The minimum stake required in order to expect to make a block decreased slightly to 2.04M ₳, leaving 69% of pools below this threshold. The number of pools falling into the 0-slot bin decreased by 76 pools this epoch.


757 / 1109 pools fall into the 0-slot bin


This plot omits the pools in the 0-slot bin


Here is the plot of lifetime ROS vs pool size. Please see our video above for a discussion of the meaning behind it.

To see the post for the current epoch, 219, see our post here.

For more information about the concepts and math behind this and past analyses (e.g. the meaning of k and d), as well as the full table that this chart was generated from, see our full post here.
