Focus on Decentralization
What is the KOPI Philosophy for operating a Cardano stake pool?
This is an important question that determines why and how do we operate a stake pool.
Why we run KOPI
The goal of blockchain technology is to shift the concentration of power and wealth from centralized entities to a network of distributed nodes. Cardano aims to solve many of the world’s teething problems by becoming a new global monetary system.
This is an idealism that KOPI can identify with, and strive for.
Operating a small-business Cardano stake pool ensures that we aid decentralization by being one small but consistent participant in a giant global network of nodes.
To register a stake pool, KOPI is committed to a pledge of ADA. This pledge achieves two important causes:
- it confirms our beliefs in the technology and potential of Cardano
- it helps to secure the Cardano network by preventing Sybil attacks
How we run KOPI
With the focus on decentralization, KOPI has decided to run a base-metal stake pool operation.
This means that the stake pool hardware is located physically in Singapore, and not on the cloud or using any form of virtualization.
To do so, we incur the cost of server hardware and forgo the convenience of working on-the-go.
But we maintain the integrity of decentralization. KOPI will continue operating even after cloud hosts and data centers stops working.
The power of a base-metal server, coupled with high speed fiber broadband, means that KOPI ensures optimal performance and 24/7 reliability of our stake pool.
