Delegation Analysis for k = 150 (Special Edition!)
Below is an animation of the change in delegation distribution for the entire period of k = 150 (epochs 211 - 233).
The top plot shows the number of pools that were expected to make a certain number of blocks in the epoch. The number of pools falling into the 0-slot bin was cut off in this plot in order to make it easier to see the rest of the bins. This 0-slot count is shown in the middle plot. The bottom plot shows the stake required for a pool to expect to get elected to a slot, which is also the size of the bins for the histogram at the top (e.g. if the required stake is 2.00M ₳, then a pool must have at least 2M ₳ staked in order to expect to make 1 block during that epoch. A pool would be required to have 20M ₳ in order to expect to make 10 blocks).
We hope you find this data as interesting as we do, and we’re looking forward to seeing how this changes as k increases to 500!

Important: There is still over 2.1B in ADA that is staked in oversaturated pools that is not eligible to earn rewards. If you are staked in a saturated pool, the rewards you earn will be reduced. Use sites like adafolio, PoolTool, and ADApools to find an unsaturated pool to move your stake to.

There’s a lot of information to unpack here, so I made a video walking through what each of these plots are presenting here. Please let us know if you have any questions or suggestions for our future posts! We’ll continue posting these graphics every epoch.
