JUNO is a community stake pool operation for the Cardano blockchain
We support the decentralization and security of the Cardano network by running a stake pool. Our goal is to make the staking experience for our delegators as smooth as possible by generating the best possible returns on stake. In order to achieve this we provide a high resilient infrastructure and network connectivity to guarantee 24/7 uptime.
Next to providing a professional stake pool service we will develop community and commercial grade solutions on the Cardano blockchain.
Geographically distributed
Our stake pool JUNO infrastructure is running on bare metal servers. We make use of several data centers in different geographical regions. Our servers are located on several locations in Europe to ensure an excellent network connectivity and to support the decentralization and security of the Cardano network.
Resilient
Our infrastructure is highly resilient to ensure that our stake pool can produce blocks under any circumstances.
Monitoring & Alerting
We make use of active monitoring and alerting on our infrastructure to ensure nearly 100% uptime. In the event our infrastructure is compromised we are automatically alerted on our mobile phones so that we can respond immediately to the situation.
Cloud native
We are using the latest cloud native technology. This allows us to scale and to upgrade our nodes easily with the latest software. By using this technology we are independent of the host operating system and cloud service provider.
Secure
We did implement best security practices to ensure that our stake pool pledge and rewards are as safe as possible.
Environmental friendly staking
Our stake pool JUNO runs on renewable energy and has a low environmental footprint
Low fee
We have operational costs, we need to maintain our servers. Think about software updates, improvements, security etc.
For this we are calculating a very competitive variable fee of 1.45% till 12/31/2021.
Fixed costs
Fixed pool costs are mandatory to cover the costs of our hardware infrastructure. We are maintaining the lowest cost possible which are 340 ADA per epoch.
Pledge
We pledged our stake pool initially with 350K and will increase this over time. Our pool pledge is locked for a minimum of 3 years. Our pool rewards are automatically re-staked for the same period, guaranteeing the best ROS for delegators.
24/7/365 uptime
We run our nodes and block producer(s) in different geographical locations and datacenters.
Our stake pool block producer has a hot standby. Only this way we can guarantee the highest possible uptime.
Bare metal servers
Our stake pool infrastructure core runs on bare metal servers in cloud datacenters in Europe.
Experience
Staking with JUNO is choosing for 25 years of experience in IT. We have profound knowledge of running businesses, linux, security, enterprise software, cloud native solutions, machine learning, AI and IoT.
"Everybody can run a stake pool. But operating a stake pool is a different story, it requires experience and devops skills to run a stake pool efficiently and secure."
