Why should users check out my pool?
About the value of SPRD:- First the problem: Decentralization is one of the key aspects of the Cardano PoS model and to achieve it we need a good spread of the stake among different owners and hosters.
- Now the solution: I decided to start a pool to support the decentralization, but that’s not all of course! I am developing software that:
- brings awareness of decentralization leaks
- helps delegators for choosing a pool which is good for the blockchain
- ensures delegators rewards by a notification system for the “best” delegation
- boosts single pool operators
- of course it is free, secure, and open source on Github
- Visit the website for the full road map for instance it will be a smart contract in the future.
I am going through life with Mahatma Gandhi’s famous quote: ‘Be the change you want to see in the world!’
So, be fair!
