STAKE POOL
Welcome to Atlas Stake Pool!
We believe that a dedicated and passionate community can create a brighter future for all of us. With the Cardano project, a vision to make the world a better place is being transformed into a reality. We are excited to be part of this incredible revolution in the financial space, so we are putting all of our energy into running a reliable, secure, and transparent stake pool operation.
On the one hand, operating a stake pool is an experience in working together with the Cardano community and striving for the success of the network as a whole, but on the other, it is also a competition to attract the trust and eventually the delegation of you, the Cardano believers. We invite you to join us on this journey, and put your faith in ATLAS by staking your ADA in our pool.
OUR Values

At Atlas Stake Pool, we believe that TRUST is the most important factor when it comes to deciding where to stake your ADA, so we are focused on exactly that. Your peace of mind is our priority. Based on this philosophy, our three core values are:

Safety: We employ the highest level of industry safety standards. Core node keys will be created solely offline and will be stored on multiple encrypted media at all times. Our servers are protected with enterprise-grade firewall software solutions. On top of that, our block-producing node only connects to the network through self-operated relay nodes, as is the industry standard.


Transparency: We want for you to be informed about the status of your investment. Follow our social channels to stay updated on the latest information about produced blocks, gained rewards, and other important notifications about the CARDANO ecosystem. And of course, always feel free to contact us with any questions you might have, either through Telegram or directly via email.
Delegation
Should you decide to go with us as your stake pool of choice, we highly recommend using one of the officially supported wallets for delegating, Daedalus or Yoroi. You will find our pool either by looking for the official ticker ATLAS or copy and paste our pool ID e6ac159ee8063742eadcb48be45f29d9a67b4158439070032f42d10c

FAQ
ADA (₳) is the underlying currency used in the CARDANO blockchain. It can be traded on cryptocurrency exchanges. As with most crypto coins, it is highly advisable to transfer those funds to a secure wallet (i.e. Deadalus, Yoroi).
The core concept of a decentralized blockchain system lies in the consensus that all network participants have to arrive at. For CARDANO this is achieved with the Ouroboros algorithm. It is the first proof of stake protocol (POS) that has been mathematically proven to be secure. Its underlying mechanism is that a participant with an investment (stake) in the network is considered a good participant. He or she will have an incentive that the network stays healthy and will act accordingly. The protocol will reinforce honest behavior by offering rewards in the form of ADA for those players.
For a deeper technical understanding, all of the published papers can be reviewed at: https://cardano.org/en/academic-papers/.
Rewards in the ADA staking process come from two sources.
The first part comes from a pool of not-yet-circulating ADA. The maximum amount of ADA to ever be in circulation is set by the protocol to be 45B. The current total supply is about 31B. This gives an amount of approximately 14B ADA coins to be supplied in a predetermined manner in which the rate of new ADA added will decrease over time. One part of those newly added coins will go to the participants in the staking process.
The second part comes from transaction fees. With the rise of adoption and applications available it is expected that over time those transaction fees will make up the main source for the rewards.
Staking is the act of delegating your ADA to a stake pool. You will therefore have “skin in the game“ (your stake) and will be rewarded accordingly if the chosen stake pool produces blocks for the network.
Important: Your ADA will never leave your wallet! The process of delegation is only linking your ADA to a respective stake pool. It can be canceled or modified at any given time.
A stake pool is a core node in the network that has the whole transaction history of the blockchain saved and keeps consensus about all ongoing transactions with the other nodes. Additionally, a stake pool has the ability to participate in creating the cryptographic blocks of the chain when it is elected by the network to do so. The likelihood for a core node to be chosen to produce such blocks is correlated with the amount of stake that has been delegated to it.
Yes. Your ADA coins will be as safe as if you hadn’t staked them at all. They will, and should, never leave the wallet controlled by you. Never send your coins to anyone claiming to stake them for you. Staking should ideally only be done via the official supported wallets Deadalus or Yoroi.
Apart from the obvious exposure to volatile and unpredictable market movements, the biggest “risk“ would be choosing a stake pool that didn’t give the best returns, or shuts down all together, leaving you with no additional rewards. But even in this case, your own funds will never be affected since they stay in your personal wallet at all times.
Therefore, the worst case scenario for you would be to have “lost” potential rewards for that specific epoch (one epoch in the CARDANO ecosystem lasts for five days). If you see unsatisfactory behavior you can change your stake pool which will take effect as soon as the next epoch starts. In short, if you are not happy with the performance of your chosen pool you can change it, and all you will have lost is about 10 days of potential rewards.
Ideally, not at all. However, at least in the starting phase it would be a good idea to check in maybe once every epoch (five days) to get a reassurance that your chosen pool performs to your satisfaction.
Yes. It’s your money at any given moment. There is no restriction as to how long or short you can delegate your ADA.
