About ARTMS
About ARTMS
A bare-metal fibre-connected SPO housed in a cottage in the Quantock foothills of Somerset, UK. Running on UPS-protected hardware with a high-speed fibre-optic connection — not cloud, not rented.
No delegators? No problem — happy to help decentralise the network. Every block scheduled, every block minted.
And every epoch we mint, a personal donation goes to a verified charity. A practice running since epoch 429.
Mission
Values
Consistency
Every block selected for, every block minted. That's just how it works here.
Sustainability
Solar panels in the pipeline. The goal is to make this carbon neutral.
Dedication
This pool runs regardless of delegation size. It ran before anyone delegated and it'll keep running.
Community
A community initiative supporting new and small single-pool operators on Cardano. ARTMS delegates 3,000 ₳ to the cause.
A collective of independent Cardano stakepool operators working to promote decentralisation. ARTMS delegates 1,000 ₳ in support.
Transparency
Every block minted triggers a personal donation — currently 40% of block rewards, receipted and held on file. Each entry below links to the on-chain block that triggered it, verifiable by anyone.
