About Us
Welcome, and thank you for taking the time to check out our
website.
Cardaspians guarantees to be a valuable staking pool since 2019, and we are still more
than happy to welcome new members / stakers / delegators. Our community means a lot and we tend to be as
transparent as we can possibly be. If you’re looking for a staking pool that cares about its community,
don’t hesitate to read more and get to know us underneath.
Do you still have questions after
scrolling this website? We’d love to help you anyway we can.
So without further ado, our story…
Once Upon A Time
It all started with Mark, our beloved Stake Pool Operator (SPO). As a crypto enthusiast, Mark started
following Cardano in 2017, when mainnet went live. With a profound IT background, his specific interests
focused on participating in the Cardano network. Together with the right partners, Jan and Paul, they
formed an exceptional team, with an abundance of IT and Business experience.
Cardaspians was
founded a bit later and participated in the ITN (incentivize Test Net). Later, we participated in
the HNT (Haskell Test Net). Mark became the SPO and his research led to our launch. We went live
on mainnet on July 29th 2020, already producing blocks during the first Shelley epochs.
Great Minds Think Alike
While Mark had a lot of weight on his shoulders doing all the back-end organization, Paul and Jan
supported him with every means possible.
Both having a profound business background, they put there
knowledge and network into action.
The three of them were once colleagues for a renowned company,
and are joined together for a new and exciting challenge.
Together, they believe in Cardano and its
ecosystem, seeing the impact it can have -not only in a web 3.0 world - but in society in
general.
Paul puts his focus on business development and partnerships, Jan has a passion for sales
and investor relations.
Young Blood Represents
In late 2022, the team got a triple injection, with the mission to spread education on Cardano, making
the staking pool flourish and establish a Belgian Cardano community.
Tim and Jason, two teachers
and crypthusiasts who have been in the scene since 2017, are happy to take on this challenge.
A
third, extremely valuable addition to the team, is Robin, a crypto and cyber security expert who supports
Mark back-end, but has the intrinsic talents to take Cardaspians to another level.
The combination
of experienced team members and young enthusiasm steers an excellent drive, focus and communication within
the team. With these necessary ingredients, we are making a difference for Cardano, its community, our
delegators and the Belgian crypto scene in general.
The Future Holds
No one knows what the future holds, but we are planning to make the best of it. Right now, we are
focusing on the full potential of our staking pool, meaning its growth and in a later phase, the
integration of possible web/app applications.
Furthermore, we would like to bring quality content
about Cardano and its ecosystem. Investing in the safety of our staking pool is another
priority.
With a maximum online relay time, we prove to have a reliable and redundant cloud
infrastructure. This is a guarantee which we wish to cherish towards everyone who puts his/her trust
in our staking pool.
We have tons of other dreams to make Cardano the ultimate, decentralized
ecosystem and to give delegators the maximum amount of respect that they deserve for their trust in
us.
Ideas are being formed, implementing them takes time. So stay put through our various socials
to see what we have in store for all of you.
