Cardano Stakepool Performance
Proven ability to mint blocks
Cardano is now fully decentralised as of March 31st 2021, this means more blocks will be minted by stakepools like ADA Farm
As we move along the Cardano roadmap more and more transactions will be performed on the blockchain eventually the rewards will be funded by the transaction fees.
