In this episode, we take a step back and do a deep dive into the basic concepts of staking on the Cardano blockchain and understanding how rewards work.

After running a Cardano Meetup the other week, it is clear that the idea and concepts around staking are still foreign to a lot of newcomers to cryptocurrencies and the basic groundwork needs to be laid out before other concepts and ideas can be worked on. With a room filled with 15 Cardano enthusiasts, we aimed to chat about security and NFTs but it was clear that one of the main concepts around Cardano staking and Proof of Stake needed to be discussed.

Setting up a stake pool is relatively easy for anyone that has general computer skills when it comes to setting up servers. The harder side is the daily maintenance, updates, security marketing and managing the stake pool.

Casey Gibson joins me on the episode to talk about everything you need to know when it comes to managing a Cardano stake pool. There is plenty of content around setting one up but not what comes after.

Casey and I talk about, performance, backups, upgrades and marketing your Cardano stake pool.

If you've just set up a pool, then this is the episode for you.

In this episode, I talk to Bas Mons, a stake pool operator from the Netherlands. We talk about why you should delegate your ADA to a stake pool rather than keeping it on an exchange.

We touch on some topics and issues that small stake pools have when starting and how delegates can help these pools while also helping charities and missions at the same time.

I plan to break down how it works, projects that are using Cardano, engage with other community members and leadership from the Cardano Foundation and IOHK themselves as it grows over time. I'll be looking into community proposals for Catalyst and run through how-to guides around everything to do with Cardano.
