75 ADA Minimum Pool Fee Rejected Again: A Missed Opportunity for Small Cardano Pools
Cardano's proposed reduction of minPoolCost from 170 to 75 ADA has failed for the second time. Why this saddens me as the Hamster Stake Pool operator and what small pools and delegators could have gained.

Third-Generation Blockchain
Cardano is a decentralized proof-of-stake blockchain platform and home of the ADA cryptocurrency. As the first platform to emerge from a scientific philosophy and research-first approach, Cardano combines academic rigor with practical innovation for a global, inclusive financial infrastructure.
Decentralized
No central point of control – Cardano is secured and operated by a global community of stake pool operators and delegators.
Open Source
The entire source code is publicly accessible and actively developed by the community – transparency without compromise.
Scientific
Cardano’s protocols are based on peer-reviewed research papers. Every change is academically verified before implementation.
Research Meets Cryptography
Cardano was built by leading engineers and academic experts in blockchain and cryptography. It is written in Haskell – a functional programming language that enables the highest security standards through pure functions and formal specifications.
Smart contracts on Cardano deliver advanced features on a stable, secure platform for enterprise DApps. The democratic governance system based on CIP-1694 enables the project to evolve sustainably and fund itself through a community treasury.
