Below we provide an overview of our donations and activities over the last few months. We will update this page regularly. Details of the individual activities are then linked in each case – there you will get more information and could have a look at the donation receipts, for example. As of Feb. 15th. 2022 …
With a donation of almost 1,000 € (1,052 $Ada at market price as of 14.02.22) to the association “Compensators” we have purchased CO2 certificates in the amount of 10 tons of CO2 and have taken them permanently off the market for compensation. We have chosen “Compensators” because Compensators buys the CO2 certificates directly at the …
Compensators: CO2POOL takes 10 tons of CO2 off the market Read More »
It has long been known that the Ethereum Blockchain consumes much more energy than the Cardano Blockchain with its Proof of Stake concept. The total energy demand of the Ethereum Blockchain from the mining process is variable and rose sharply in 2021, currently estimated at around 78.76 TWh/yr. This is roughly equivalent to Chile’s electricity …
CO2POOL was one of the first stakepools on the Cardano Blockchain founded to use parts of the operator rewards to support meaningful projects that contribute to changing the world in line with the Cardano mission. From the beginning, our main project was the climate-neutral Cardano Blockchain – hence the name CO2POOL. We have already donated …
CO2POOL was founded in July 2020 and has been active as a stakepool since the beginning of the staking era at Cardano (Shelley Mainnet, Epoch 208). At that time – there were only around 500 stakepools – we were among the first pools to start using parts of the operator rewards to support meaningful projects …

CO2POOL donates 100% of its margin (currently 1.9%) to climate protection. For this purpose, we send the Ada from our Pool Operator Rewards every few epochs in a separate wallet (see here) to keep the sum transparent. Every quarter, we transfer the collected Ada to an exchange to support a climate protection organisation with the …

Ich hätte niemals gedacht, dass ich einmal eine Promotion Aktion für unseren Pool CO2POOL starten würde, denn eigentlich sollte unser Engagement für eine klimaneutrale Cardano-Blockchain Grund genug sein, unseren Stakepool auszuwählen. 100% unserer ohnehin nicht sehr hohen Gebühr von 1.9% gehen in Aktivitäten für den Klimaschutz, und innerhalb der Community engagieren wir uns für das …
Die Blockchain ist eine Technologie, die die Zukunft von Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft ähnlich stark verändern wird wie das Internet. In den Medien und der öffentlichen Diskussion überwiegt im Moment aber Skepsis und Abwehr – Blockchain wird unter anderem mit gravierenden Umweltauswirkungen aufgrund hoher Stromverbräuche in Verbindung gebracht. Diese Kritik ist für das „Proof of Work“ …

Dear Delegators, Today, we have reduced our pool fees (margin) from 2.3% to 1.9%. Why? As you know, we have had the support of IOHK for the last 3 months, who have delegated 3.2 million Ada to our pool. This has allowed us to grow the pool and generate blocks on a regular basis. Unfortunately, …
Today, the CardanoFoundation published an article in which they announced that currently around US$ 500 million worth of Ada is delegated to Cardano stakepools, which donate parts of their income to charitable organisations. “These include for example humanitarian charities, environmental initiatives, and animal protection alliances (…)“. At the moment, there are at least 60 pools, …
