    • Among team members are Google, Microsoft, and AWS certified partners with over 40 years of combined experience.
  • Why should users check out your pool?
    • What are your long-term goals as a pool operator?
      Building a vibrant ecosystem that is fair, open, and available for all to participate.

    • Do you offer any secondary or tertiary services to users?
      We host three different SMASH servers that only list pools which are members of a given alliance in an effort to provide delegators an easy way to browse pools that align with a value they would like to support.

    • PANL also maintains a set of two wallets used to delegate to fellow SPOs from the community.

    • Why did you choose to build a business within the Cardano ecosystem?
      The Cardano community is just so strong. It became clear after a short time of interacting with the community that we wanted to contribute to the ecosystem for a long time to come.
