DeKrom

Just received 15M delegation from CF. For the next 2 weeks we will be scaling up our hardware. Buckle up! :)

We have migrated the block producer node to a new server with an AMD Ryzen 5 processor and 64GB of RAM.
The server that was previously dedicated to the block producer is now running a relay node.

This is not a drill, we repeat, this is not a drill :) CF delegation just kicked in and we started minting blocks.
In epoch 264 KROM is scheduled to create 13 blocks, just shy of the 14.5 estimated blocks for our active stake.

All 13 blocks of epoch 264 were minted, resulting in a ROS (annualized Return On Stake) of 4.48%.
In epoch 265 the number of scheduled blocks is 16, that will bring ROS above 5%.

Boom! Back on track. Epoch 265 came indeed with a ROS of 5.58%.
We have upgraded all our servers to cardano node version 1.27.0 and we are now off for a smooth sailing.

We hit a couple of slow epochs. Both in epoch 270 and 269 KROM has been elected slot leader for only 10 slots out of the 14.7 ideal ones.
Our servers are performing well and we are confident things will level out in the next epochs.

We just minted the 100th block on mainnet! We are still getting assigned less blocks than the ideal number, but this will hopefully change soon.

The three months of the Cardano Foundation delegation are over. We would like to thank CF for giving us the chance to prove we are a reliable stake pool. So far we have minted 193 blocks. We didn't have much luck with the block "lottery" during the period of the CF delegation, but at least we had a very good last epoch with an outstanding 7.29% ROI :)
Waiting for new delegators to join us, we will keep operating our node with the same dedication and passion we put in it so far.

Variable fees lowered from 1% to 0%.

All our nodes have been updated to the latest cardano-node version (1.29.0), we are ready for the Alonzo hard fork on September 12.

All our nodes have been updated to cardano-node version 1.30.1, we are ready for the next hardfork that should occur by the end of month.

The hardfork was successful and we already upgraded our nodes to the latest cardano-node verison (1.31.0).

All our nodes have been upgraded to v1.33.0

We have upgraded our nodes to Cardano node version 1.34.0

We have upgraded our nodes to Cardano node version 1.34.1

We have upgraded our nodes to Cardano node version 1.35.3. We are ready for Vasil hard-fork.

A warm welcome to our new delegators! We have upgraded the hardware of our Relay1: faster CPU and double the amount of RAM.

We have upgraded our nodes to Cardano node version 1.35.4

We have upgraded our nodes to Cardano node version 1.35.5

We have been testing cardano node version 8.0.0 and P2P functionality in preprod environment. We are now waiting for the 8.1.1 release to upgrade our mainnet servers.

We have upgraded our mainnet nodes to Cardano node version 8.1.1

Pool fixed fees lowered from 340 Ada to 170 Ada. Change will take effect in 2 epochs.

All servers upgraded to Cardano node version 8.9.0 with P2P enabled.

Migrated the second relay to an ARM server with better performance.

All servers upgraded to Cardano node version 9.1.0. KROM is hard-fork ready.
