Hi all,
I’m Huemul, one of four operators of PAT. I’m a Security Engineer with interests in many areas, one of them being blockchain for several years now.
I’m here to introduce my Cardano stake pool to you all even though it’s been live for several months now with quite satisfying results 
Charity
We at PAT contribute to charity. It’s our way to interact with out community and share our rewards with the people around us. Up until now, we’ve been contributing to a charity which helps low-income women get access to micro-credits for their small business needs. The charity also has college scholarships for children of low-income families.

Please feel free to reach out to us any time.
