Interactive SvelteKit app visualizing Cardano stake pool saturation and ROI
Community member Cerkoryn and others from the SPO incentive working group recently released a tool that lets you explore how changes to Cardano parameters like k and a₀ could impact decentralization and rewards.
Cerkoryn notes:
“Right now we have the current ledger rules as well as two hypothetical alternatives. We plan to add more later.” Try it here: spo-incentives.vercel.app
Another useful resource is the newly designed Rewards Calculator, which helps SPOs, delegators, and ada holders understand the effects of parameter settings. It was demonstrated and discussed by Dmitry Shibaev, Markus Gufler, and Johnny Kelly during an SPO Table Talk on February 28th, 2025.
