• Pool is owned and operated by group of Cardano enthusiasts from Latvia, Northern Europe. Avene in Latvian means raspberry as our initial plan was to deploy the Cardano node on Raspberry Pi microcomputers, but given the performance required, we currently decided to choose a Data Center solution.
• Our daily work is related to software development and maintenance so running a Stake Pool is a great way to use our experience and technical knowledge.
• Our long-term mission is to support the Cardano decentralization and add value to the Cardano community.
• We are a member of the Cardano Mission Driven Pools where our mission is to support young and enthusiastic people throughout Africa.
• We are a member of the Cardano Single Pool Alliance as we agree with the idea to run a single Stake Pool for the sole purpose of providing the Cardano ecosystem with true decentralization.
• We are committed to be a reliable Pool operator with our initial Pledge of 30,000 ADA.
• Our Pool has reasonable fees to cover the daily operational costs.
• We are happy to participiate as the West Africa Decentralized Alliance (WADA) Foundation first 50 early bird contributor. #metadata
• Based on the Pool's earned rewards we are committed to make regular donations to support WADA mission, which is in line with our ideology.

Staking ADA provides ADA holders with rewards - in addition to the potential market price gains.

The more ADA you stake, the more rewards you can earn, on average 5-6% yearly, set by the Cardano protocol.
