FRADA is committed to providing its delegators the best staking experience possible. Unfortunately, the stake pool has been very unlucky during epoch 465, 467, 470 and 471 : very few slots were assigned to FRADA resulting in a decrease of the pool’s ROA. We can’t do anything about it, this is how the Cardano network […]
FRADA has been selected once more by the Cardano Foundation to receive 15M ADA delegation ! It’s an honor to receive such an help, which allows the pool to continue validating blocks each epoch ! Thanks to the first delegation i received 3 month ago, i was able to improve FRADA servers, and continue developping […]
All FRADA nodes have been upgraded to Cardano 8.1.1. This new version brings a huge improvement for Epoch transitions, which were usually subject to hundred of miss slots. Release notes : https://github.com/input-output-hk/cardano-node/releases FRADA is comitted to always maintaining its nodes with the latest stable releases of Cardano from IOHK !
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 […]

Any Pool Operator can apply for this (BIG) delegation help. The Foundation criterias are based on how the Pool Operator contribute to the […]
As a Cardano Stakepool Operator who followed coincashew guide, i have to be sure that my nodes have a robust security, on top of being correctly configured. That is why i decided to work on a tool that would help me check if everything is fine on my servers 🙂 I made a script that […]
4 month after starting my Cardano Stake Pool FRADA – ADA made in France, it finally got selected to mint 1 block, during epoch 389 ! And my pool did it : the block was forged at around 3:21 am UTC on 24th of January ! Here are some logs from my Grafana Monitoring Server […]
In order to provide incentive to early delegators that would like to help FRADA pool launch and get its first blocks, i am starting a Bonus Program to encourage any whale to help 🙂 Details of the Launch Bonus Program : Duration : The FRADA Launch Bonus Program will last the first 10 blocks FRADA […]
Monitoring Peers OUT Connections is a metric available out of the box, when you setup Grafana, Prometheus and Prometheus Node Exporter on your Cardano Stake Pool. It allows you to check on your Grafana Dashboard, how many connections are initiated by your nodes. But Peers IN connections is not available by default. It’s a shame […]
If you followed my previous guide to secure your Grafana access behind a Nginx SSL reverse Proxy; you are now ready to setup a much more robust authentication for your Cardano stakepool monitoring dashboards than the default one provided by Grafana (local users account). We are going to use Google Oath to secure the access. […]
