Thanks to the Cardano Foundation Delegation i was able to significantly upgrade my Stake Pool architecture, and servers, to provide the best possible resilience and service.

FRADA servers are now hosted in 4 Datacenters in France, which run on low C02 footprint energy mix, and are fully watercooled !

  • (new) Block Producer is now a baremetal server 6 cores with 64Go DDR4 ECC / 500Go SSD NVME
  • (new) 1 relay baremetal server 6 cores with 32 Go DDR4 ECC / 500Go SSD NVME -> it’s my Block Producer hot backup !
  • (unchanged) 1 relay VPS
  • (unchanged) 1 relay (hidden) VPS
  • (unchanged) 1 Monitoring server VPS

All 3 relays are connected to the Block Producer through wireguard VPNs for increased data confidentiality and integrity.

The dedicated monitoring node is also connected to every Stake Pool node through wireguard VPN for obvious reasons.

2 relays are running in P2P mode.

FRADA has now an even more robust and secured stake pool architecture to provide the best possible Cardano performance !
