Welcome to

A special THANK YOU to all delegates!

We secure the network TOGETHER.

Secure

Each node is configured using industry best practice - firewalls, offline keys, discrete hosting, and more.

Geo Dispersed

We have redundant servers spread out all over the world. Not only does this ensure we transmit our blocks fast and efficiently through the network, it also prevents any local disaster from affecting performance.

DDoS Prevention

Each server is hardened against denial of service attacks. We keep some relays private as an extra precaution to prevent a targeted attacks.

Monitored

All servers are monitored 24/7. If any parameter goes outside predetermined limits a real-time SMS alert is sent for immediate attention. Logs are regularly audited for any anomalies.

2.5mil+ Pledge

Higher pledged pools pay higher rewards. OASIS is among the top 2% highest pledged pool groups. We are not contractually pledged, so there is no risk of the pledge disappearing.

Scalable

Servers can be easily added and upgraded to follow any protocol demand. We're ready to scale with Cardano.

24/7 Uptime

Uptime is the most important feature of any stake pool. OASIS servers remain online at all times. We calculate our slot leader schedule in advance, so no server maintenance will ever interrupt block production.

Transparent

We are fully transparent with uptime and performance. We report scheduled block count to PoolTool.io so we can be held accountable for performance through each epoch. OASIS has minted 100% of its assigned slots.

- The OASIS way -

The main goal of every stake pool is to be online at all times and mint every block assigned to it. As a delegator, you deserve to know if your pool succeeds at these basic tasks.

 

OASIS reports its current block height and performance to PoolTool.io. By comparing OASIS' block height to the height other pools are reporting, you can see that we, the pool, are online, healthy, and up to date.

 

At the beginning of each epoch we calculate our slot-leader schedule. This is important information to have for a couple reasons. When we know the schedule, we can plan any server maintenance to ensure the node is performing at its best when the time comes for it to produce a block. We also take this schedule and voluntarily report our block count for the epoch to PoolTool.io. This report is sent at the beginning of every epoch so we are held accountable for our performance through the epoch. To date OASIS has minted 100% of the blocks assigned.

 

After a block is made it needs to reach all the other nodes in the network very quickly. To achieve fast propagation, OASIS has multiple relays distributed all over the world. Each of these relays is communicating with about twenty other relays. We are able to reach every node in the network in about two to four jumps. We do not make all of these relays public to avoid any targeted attack.

​

Each virtual server is hosted in a different data center, and some nodes are on bare metal servers. All of them are in different parts of the world. The cluster has layers of redundancy; if one server fails there is another on standby ready to take its place. This is how we ensure, even in disaster, we are minting all our assigned blocks.

 

Pledge is the amount of stake the pool operator has in their own pool; you could call this their commitment to Cardano. OASIS is within the top 2% highest pledged pool groups. So far, 100% of owner rewards have been reinvested as pledge. Generally, higher pledged pools pay better rewards than lower pledged pools.

 

Unlike OASIS, many of the highest pledged pools are contractually pledged. In that business model, there is a person(s) who does the technical work of the pool (server setup and maintenance) and any number of other people whose combined ADA makes up the pledge. In that scenario, any one of the members has the power to destroy the pool without needing consent from the other owners. Unfortunately, we are already seeing some failing pools due to owner disagreements.

 

OASIS is proudly owned, operated, and funded by a single individual.

Frequently asked questions

When should I see rewards?

Rewards begin getting payed out four epochs after you delegate. If you delegate during epoch 200 you will not start seeing rewards until epoch 204. Be patient, your rewards are coming. Reward distribution is handled 100% by the protocol and is not controlled by the pool operator.



How do pool fees work?

If the total pool rewards for the epoch are 50,000 ADA, the 340 ADA* is subtracted as pool cost, leaving 49,660 ADA. The pool takes 2% (993.2 ADA) and the remaining rewards (48,666.8 ADA) are distributed to the delegates based on their stake. All of the pool fees are taken out of rewards. There is a one-time ~2.17 ADA transaction fee payed to the Cardano network when you first stake. This is not payed to the pool operator. You will have to pay a transaction fee of ~0.17 ADA each time you switch to a new pool. *The 340 ADA fixed fee is NOT imposed on each delegator individually.



Do I have to redelegate my rewards or any new ada?

Your stake encompasses your entire wallet and all ADA that it controls. Even if you add ADA to your wallet later on it will be included in your stake without any input from you. Your rewards are automatically delegated even if you never touch them.



What is saturation?

Saturation is the point when a pool has the amount of stake that the network finds ideal. Saturation is displayed as a percentage. Pools offer increasing rewards up to 100% saturation; then rewards decrease once it is over-saturated. If you are delegating to a pool close to saturation, be sure to have an alert set up so you can switch if it becomes oversaturated.



Are my ADA safe?

You do not put your ADA at risk by staking/delegating with a pool. The safety of your ADA relies on how well you have secured your recovery phrase. When you set up your wallet you were given a recovery phrase. Be sure to write it down and store it safely. Never share it with anybody. You will never have to send your ADA to a pool or person to delegate. Use Daedalus or Yoroi Wallet to safely store and manage your stake pool delegation. If you leave your ADA on an exchange and let them stake for you, then your ADA are not safe. Exchanges have historically been the least secure place to store crypto. *Backed up cold storage wallets like ledger are recommended*
