What differentiates MOKSH? 

MOKSH is committed to operating as a Single Pool Operator, a principle we uphold with steadfast dedication. As a freelance IT professional, my foray into the realm of digital currencies began in 2014, when I first encountered Bitcoin. This initial intrigue led me to delve deeply into the subject, consuming all available information and quickly immersing myself in the intricacies of the digital currency landscape. The division within the Bitcoin community during the hard fork transition from BTC to BCH highlighted the critical importance of governance and sustainability in my eyes.

My discovery of Charles Hoskinson's whiteboard video, where he delineated the three foundational pillars of Cardano—Scalability, Interoperability, and Sustainability—was a pivotal moment. Cardano stood out as the sole project at the time that emphasized community, governance, and sustainability. Since 2017, I have been a staunch advocate for the Cardano project, recognizing ADA's potential and actively participating in the network. I have witnessed Cardano's evolution from a nascent community to a global network.

The inception of this pool in November 2021 was motivated by my concerns over the threat to decentralization posed by multi-pool operators. Although their operations are permissible as long as they have delegators, I firmly believe that the long-term sustainability of Cardano hinges on the support of single pool operators.

MOKSH stake pool offers 0% Margin and and a low pledge leverage (low leverage = more "skin in the game").  Every Cardano delegator should be aware of these parameters. More information about how to find a good stake pool to delegate to can be found here. 

MOKSH uses pool rewards to fund life-changing healthcare for underprivileged families around the world. Please see our projects page for more information.

We look forward to your delegations!
