Stake Pool Operator

Hi! I'm Patrick Tobler - the Stake Pool Operator behind the Pool of Babel. I've been following the Cardano development since 2017 and have been gradually becoming more & more interested in the project. I truly believe that Cardano will change the world.
When I'm not wearing my Stake Pool Operator suit, I'm a Computer Science student from Stuttgart, Germany. I'm in Cardano for the long run & will contribute to the ecosystem by building decentralized software using the Cardano Blockchain.

Why should you stake on the Pool of Babel?

  • Servers around the world: BABEL is running on servers around the world and will keep adding more locations to the list.
  • Commited to decentralization BABEL is not hosted on AWS, Google Cloud or any other big host service. Instead it's hosted on a small VPS in Germany.

FAQ

  • What is Cardano?
    Cardano is a decentralized public blockchain and cryptocurrency project and is fully open source.
    It combines pioneering technologies to provide unparalleled security and sustainability
    to decentralized applications, systems, and societies.
  • What is a Stake Pool?
    A stake pool is a reliable server node that focuses on maintenance and holds the combined
    stake of various stakeholders in a single entity. Stake pools are responsible for processing
    transactions and producing new blocks and are at the core of Ouroboros, the Cardano proof-of-stake protocol.
  • How does that benefit me?
    By staking your delegating your Ada to a Stake Pool you directly participate in the network and
    help increasing the robustness and decentralization of Cardano. For this you can receive a monetary reward in Ada.

  • How do I delegate my Ada to a stake pool?
    To delegate your Ada you simply open up a wallet (e.g. Daedalus, Yoroi or Adalite) and select a Stake Pool
    (preferably BABEL) in the Staking menu directly in the wallet.
    Each wallet looks a bit different but overall it's very straight forward.
  • What should I look for when delegating my stake?
    The main parameters to look at when delegating your stake to a pool are
  • The saturation: If it's too high you will not receive the optimal amount of rewards,
    if it's too low the pool might not produce blocks very often.
  • The pool margin: This is the % of Ada that the Stake Pool itself receives from every mined block.
  • The cost per epoch: The fixed amount of Ada that the Stake Pool receives from every mined block.
    BABEL will keep this at the lowest possible amount.
