Have your say on the Cardano Foundation’s delegation strategy
As we shared on 17 November 2020, the Cardano Foundation’s delegation methodology is evolving and being redefined following the upcoming changes to the k-parameter. This is the first, but not the last, evolution of our delegation methodology in keeping with the changing parameters of the protocol towards a more decentralized ecosystem.
In our last announcement, we informed our community that we had already initiated the first operational changes necessary to modify our delegation preferences. As there have been different conversations about an optimal and fair allocation approach within the community, we would now like to invite you to give us your feedback on two important factors—the appropriate amount of ada and the right epoch interval.
We would also like to emphasize again that the required upcoming changes in our delegation processes as a Foundation are not done with the change of wallet infrastructure—we are accountable not only to the community, but also to supervisory authorities. This requires that we carefully balance our delegation preferences for the benefit of the Cardano ecosystem, while also meeting regulatory, auditing, and accounting requirements at all times. We achieve this through due diligence, intensive behind the scenes operational planning and execution, and also through your valuable input.
We will continue to keep you informed about the status and development of our staking methodology and, in the meanwhile, would like to invite you to participate in this process and provide your feedback on the following topics:
- In your opinion, what is the appropriate amount of ada that the Cardano Foundation should delegate to a single stake pool?
- approx. ₳15 million;
- approx. ₳20 million;
- approx. ₳25 million;
- other; please leave reply beneath

- In your opinion, what should be the right epoch interval for redelegation? We are particularly interested to hear from stake pool operators.
- once a month;
- twice a month;
- three times a month;
- other; please leave reply beneath

Thank you for providing your feedback. We will assess your responses firstly on Friday, 27 November 2020, for the first adaptation of our delegation approach and use this information to further evolve our delegation methodology for the benefit of the community and the decentralization of the Cardano blockchain going forward.
