Pool Info

This chart shows the main elements of Pilot Pool and their interactions:

Block Producing Node

PILOT 1: 4-Core CPU, 32 GB RAM, 600 GB SSD

PILOT 2: 4-Core CPU, 32 GB RAM, 600 GB SSD

Relays

Two (2) geographically dispersed relays

Each Relay: 4-Core CPU, 32 GB RAM, 600 GB SSD

High Speed Networking

Firewall

Network-based firewall that blocks all traffic that isn’t expressly permitted by a rule. Places a barrier between the node and relays to protect them against external attack. Pilot Pool’s firewall stops traffic at the network layer before it reaches a server

Backup Storage

Volumes are backed-up by SSDs

Redundant data is stored on hardware that is separated from the node and replicated multiple times across different racks, minimizing the probability of data loss due to hardware failure

Redundant Power Supply

Dual power supply unit, A+B power

Air-Gapped Defense

A physically isolated computer system with no physical connection to other computers, networks, or unsecured systems

Provides demanding security and working efficiency on zero bandwidth

Cold Storage

Generation and storage of node’s private keys in an encrypted offline environment

Analytics, Monitoring & Alerts

System-level metrics collection of resource utilization

24/7/365 Alert policies & thresholds for resource consumption

Why Choose Us?

Here are a few reasons why Pilot Pool is the best place for staking Cardano (ADA).

Easy

Stake your ADA with Pilot Pool and get rewards from staking. There’s no need for special technical knowledge, your own data center, or 24/7 network control. Just stake to Pilot Pool via Daedalus, Yoroi, or other digital wallets and everything will be done for you.

Performance

Pilot Pool is built, and capitalizes on, cloud-based infrastructure. This provides a flexible framework to host sophisticated applications. Cloud technologies also enable auto-scaling, which allows applications to grow and shrink with demand. Importantly, cloud environments enable simulated event testing without disrupting the production environment.

Security

Pilot Pool maintains both a physical and virtual secure environment. Data from the Cardano blockchain is replicated and stored in multiple, physical, data centers (nodes) within dispersed geographic regions. Replicating this data across multiple geographic regions further increases redundancy and fault tolerance, ultimately reducing risk.

Monitoring & Vulnerability Reporting

State-of-the-art monitoring services enable continuous data evaluation and vulnerability reporting, allowing for rapid issue investigation, evaluation, and resolution. This network infrastructure enables Pilot Pool to maintain its security capabilities and blockchain responsibilities while adding an outer security shell.

Delegate

Stake (delegate) your ADA to Pilot Pool to start earning rewards. Rewards are paid automatically and directly to your digital wallet at the end of every epoch (every 5 days).* First time delegating will take 3 epochs to receive rewards (16-20 days).

You can delegate using:

Daedalus
(Desktop, full-node wallet, longer setup)
Yoroi
(Web-based, “lite” wallet, instant setup)
Yoroi Mobile App
(iOS or Android, “lite” wallet, for mobile)

Mission Driven: Towards Global Success

MS International Federation

Pilot Pool donates 10% of all fees raised to the Multiple-Sclerosis (MS) International Federation, each quarter.

We aim to raise global awareness of MS as a disease, as well as to protect and advocate for the rights of people living with MS. Currently, there is no cure for MS. However, with global advocacy, education, and research, we seek to find one.
