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.
