Strong Pledge

Our substantial pledge demonstrates real commitment to the pool's success. We're invested in the long-term—when you earn, we earn.

Low Fees

Just 1% margin fee (plus the network minimum of 170 ₳ per epoch). More of your rewards stay in your wallet.

Find us. Search for SAND in your wallet's stake pool list, or use our pool ID:pool1gqvrgg7zycvf65ydkjeph72t0yx0f5ykzd9f477zh4f3smwk997

Delegate your ADA. Choose how much to stake and confirm—your ADA never leaves your wallet.

Start earning. Rewards arrive automatically every epoch (approximately every 5 days).

Stay Safe

Protect yourself from scams. Follow these essential security rules.

Never share your seed phrase. No legitimate stake pool will ever ask for it.

Never send ADA to stake. Your coins stay in your wallet when you delegate.

Move ADA off exchanges. Use a non-custodial wallet for full control and better rewards.
