ADA North Pool

Jet lagged from my trip to the Longmont Colorado workshop in the US I did my first episode of Blockheads together with Nido and Thomas from Kryptolabs as well as Fredrik Gregard from Cardano Foundation. You can see the episode here:

We ran a World Mobile Token Promo from valentines 2022 until now Valentines 2023. The funds will run out in next epoch 394. We still love the project, and our relationship has been taken to the next level with private and public testnets and gearing up for actual launch of the blockchain to the public. You can still claim many other tokens through vending machine or Tosidrop for delegating to ANP such as Hosky tokens and BabySeal tokens. You can also gain Nunet tokens through the earndrop see https://medium.com/nunet/ntx-liquid-earndrop-with-tosidrop-a1e377732114 as ANP is one of the participating pools. (it is temporary paused but follow the blog for latest news).

2022 was busy in the world of Cardano, such as attending the Cardano Oslo Summit and creating a lot of content for the Cardano ecosystem in regards to research as well as governance. In 2023 we are doing many simpler and shorter articles to go back to basics on Cardano and offer newcomers to the ecosystem something to get started with. At nbx.com where we also offer staking for adanorthpool we have written a few articles:

What is Cardano
Step-by-step guide: Stake Cardano ADA with NBX
Crypto staking: the new era of minting cryptocurrency
What is Cardano staking?
How are blocks made on the Cardano blockchain?
What are the addresses used for delegation on Cardano?

If you are Norwegian you are in luck we have all the articles in Norwegian as well:

As a bonus – here is my favorite video of 2022:
Governance with Dr. Mihaela Ulieru 

We now have a home also at www.nbx.com/en/anp. Norwegian Block Exchange has just implemented protocol staking on the platform and we run a single pool. If you prefer to stake on an exchange for custodial reasons such as insured funds or easy access to trading then please check out www.nbx.com/en/staking as well.

Short (less than half hour) look at Permissionless Clock Synchronization with public setup from the IOHK library of research papers.

In this video I try to explain some of the concepts in the Usefull Proof of Work research paper Ofelimos.

Heads up I got the ranking blocks wrong in the start of the video and correct myself towards the end of the video.

I made another video for the day something I have been thinking about a while – Direct representation (DREP)

I made a short video looking at the Mithril research apper and then on how to implement a Mithril-signer as an SPO.

As you may know, ADA North Pool has an ongoing promo where we give World Mobile Token rewards to delegators of the pool since valentines 2022.

We have today refilled the Vending Machine pool balance to make sure to keep the promo going further. We are still huge fans of the project and we have an NBX earth node you can find us on twitter: https://twitter.com/nbxearthnode
