GRC1 Cardano Stake Pool

A fair and decent pool network, built by a Professional Engineer. Simple. No big words. Just_Online.

The Idea behind GRC1 Network Pool

GRC1 network pool went online on the 8th of October 2020. It was a mature move of our head Sysadmin Ioannis who happened to have a small amount of ADA left in a big exchange. While watching and being a passenger of the ADA train since the late of 2017s, he started investing small amounts of Euros on it. Why making the pool now and not in day1 of Shelley? Well, cryptos are a very high risk currency game so every move has to be taken under very serious consideration, so u gotta be preety sure of your next move. The gained trust on the team of Cardano, came up with the Genesis of GRC1.

GRC1 is proud to be the only pool with dFactor: 9 !!!


GRC1 Technical Specs

The truth: The majority of the stake pools out there run on Virtual Machines. A bare metal setup makes no difference to the performance of the node, at this time of writing. Stake pools need: RAM, a Healthy Network, Uptime, and a lot of sysadmin skills. Nothing more, Nothing less. So here we are, summarised:

  • 1 Producer/9 Relays!
  • 99.99% Uptime SLA
  • Resilient 10gbit vNICs/10gBit Backbone
  • VPN Network between Producer and Relays
  • CentOS7/8 OSes (Ubuntu is NOT
    designed to run as a server. Period.)
  • Worldwide Presence (NL, DE, GR, IN, ID, US, JP, MY, UK)
  • 24/7 Monitoring
  • 48 vCores, Xeon Gold/128GB vRam/1250G vSSD

Stake to GRC1

Staking to a #Cardano $ADA Pool is very easy!

Choose your faviourite wallet: We strongly encourage you to use the Officially supported wallets: Daedalus, Yoroi, ccVault, Nami

After your favourite wallet setup and sync to the blockchain, create a wallet address according to the wallet's instructions, and withdraw the $ADA you purhased from the exchange to it.

Go to the Staking section of the wallet, search for GRC1, and delegate the amount of $ADA you want to us! That's all! Always have in mind that your $ADA never leave your wallet address. You can Tranfer them, Deposit them back to the exchange and trade them, at any time, on your will!

IMPORTANT: When choosing a pool to delegate, always have a look at it's changes' history: Like how often it changes pledge, margin, and to which direction. There are pools that always act according to their delegation volume silently and without any prior notice which is kinda bad for their delegators. Always choose a pool with stable values on margin and stake. GRC1 will never change it's stake from 1%, regardless the volume of delegators it has. Questions???

NOTICE: Please download and install the wallets ONLY from the official websites. Daedalus DOES NOT have a mobile application version. Questions???
