Hello, we invite you to check out K9K Staking Pool. My name is Kevin and I run the pool with my brother Mike. I got involved with cryptocurrencies in early 2016 as an investor and have been in the space since as a co-founder of a startup, a trader for a crypto hedge fund, and organizer for the official Cardano Meetup Group in Chicago. My brother is the technical brains to the operation. You can read more about his bio below.

Why K9K?
K9K is focused on establishing a sustainable stake pool that provides consistent rewards and minimum downtime. K9K also takes community very seriously. The K9K Staking Pool gives 25% of our operating rewards to a charity voted on by the delegators every year. Users can monitor the K9K Stake Pool in numerous locations. The K9K website contains information about the stake pool and how users can get started with the delegation process. Other than the K9K website, information about the K9K stake pool can be found on pooltool, adapools, the Daedalus application, and the Yoroi application.
Why Cardano?
K9K choose to build a business in the Cardano ecosystem because we believe in the vision of Cardano. Cardano initially focused on helping the countries that most need a financial system. Cardano also has one of the strongest and smartest communities in the crypto space which is proven by the number of stake pools launched within the first week of being live. And this wouldn’t be possible without the vision and talent of the Cardano team starting with Charles Hoskinson. Charles is a leader in the crypto space and has experience building cryptocurrencies. He is genuine and is truly trying to make the world a better place.
