van Rossem is live, and a fee update

The van Rossem hard fork, Cardano’s move to protocol version 11, is live and the network took it in its stride. We voted our four pools in favour back in June; block production carried on through the fork without interruption, which is exactly how a well-coordinated upgrade should feel.

A change of our own to flag alongside it. ADAvault’s introductory 0% margin ends on 31 July. From 2 August (epoch 647) our pools move to a 1% margin, which still leaves them among the lowest-fee pools anywhere in the ecosystem.

Moving to 1% keeps ADAvault true to how we started, fair fees permanently, while putting the pool on a sustainable footing for the years ahead. Everything else stays as it is.

Any delegators who’d like more detail are welcome to ask.
