The Plutus Operations team takes a cloud first and modern cloud native approach to stake pool operations. Having our Infrastructure as code, and a globally redundant server footprint – we can ensure with certainty 24/7 update and high availability.

We have chosen a competitive fee structure of 1% marginas the desirability of a pool is calculated by taking the pledged owner’s stake, costs, and margin. This number will be used to rank pools in Daedalus and Yoroi, and indicates how ‘desirable’ or ‘attractive’ PLTUS pools are to potential delegators.

By maintaining a high pledge PLTUS stake pool stays attractive. The higher the amount of ada pledged, the more rewards the pool will receive which helps attract more delegation. The a0 protocol parameter defines the influence of pledge and will change over time – which is why pledge DOES matter and should be a key consideration for pool selection.
