A Spotlight on Stake Pools: ZW3RK
The Cardano Foundation’s “Spotlight on Stake Pools” series highlights the pivotal role played by stake pool operators (SPOs) within the Cardano ecosystem. Each installment dives into the unique insights of a specific SPO, showcasing how the Cardano Foundation delegation has empowered them to continue their operations and initiatives.
This installment features the ZW3RK stake pool, led by Moritz, who is a Haskell expert. The mission of the pool is to support the development of the Glasgow Haskell Compiler (GHC) and expand the deployment of Haskell software. The pool contributes to the GHC’s CI infrastructure and supports other Haskell projects. It also provides pre-built static Cardano node packages for various platforms. For the full story on ZW3RK contributions and Moritz unique journey, read here.
