MinPoolFee Cut In Half Since epoch 345, the MinPoolFee protocol parameter has changed, allowing SPO's to reduce the fixed epoch-fee to a new minimum of 170ADA. On the first day of epoch 345, as one of the first SPO's we have implemented the new minimum for\u2026<\/div>\n<\/a>\n

Fee Structure vs. Performance<\/div>\n
Modest fees, Our 4ADA pool operates at the lowest possible epoch cost of 170ADA plus 2% variable fee. This means that every five days 170ADA + 2% are deducted from the total epoch rewards the pool has generated, before they are divided among all delegators.\u2026<\/div>\n<\/a>\n
