Welcome to ISH The IndieStakeHub

Introducing ISH

ISH is a groundbreaking, zero-fee Cardano staking pool designed to empower all ADA holders, big or small, while actively contributing to the decentralization of the Cardano network. At ISH, our mission is simple: to make staking fair, transparent, and accessible to everyone.

Unlike most staking pools that take a percentage of the rewards, ISH charges no fees. This means 100% of the staking rewards are redistributed back to the delegators.

Rewards are not just proportional to wallet size; we’ve introduced a weighted random reward system to give smaller wallets a fair chance to win. By doing so, we bridge the gap between large and small stakeholders, ensuring an equitable experience for all participants.

ISH prioritizes decentralization by creating systems that encourage participation from a diverse range of delegators.

At 10 delegators, we launch an official website to provide a central hub for updates, staking guides, and transparent reward tracking.

After 10 blocks validated, we introduce a unique randomized reward system. Each epoch, when at least one block has been validated, one delegator is randomly selected to win 40 ADA.

With 1 million ADA staked, we deploy a second server to enhance security and network uptime.

At 2 million ADA staked, we launch ISH2, a new pool to further decentralize the network and spread staking power across multiple pools.

Why Choose ISH?

A Staking Pool That Evolves With Its Community

ISH grows alongside its community, with new features and infrastructure upgrades introduced as key milestones are achieved

Redefining Cardano Staking

ISH is not just another staking pool - it’s a reimagined experience designed with fairness and decentralization at its core:

For Small Wallets: By combining traditional proportional rewards with our weighted random system, even small wallets can enjoy meaningful opportunities to earn rewards.

For the Community: ISH is a pool built for delegators, with zero fees, full transparency, and constant improvements driven by collective milestones.

Be Part of the Change

As Cardano continues to grow, staking pools like ISH are essential to maintaining a decentralized and resilient network. By staking with ISH, you’re not just earning rewards - you’re supporting a more equitable and decentralized future for blockchain technology.

ISH: The Indie Stake Hub. Zero fees. Fair rewards. True decentralization.

How it Works

Crabs (1,000–10,000 ADA): 1x Chance

Small but significant contributors. Each ADA staked gives you 1 chance to win.

Fish (10,000–50,000 ADA): 2x Chances

Medium-level delegators earn 2 chances per ADA staked, doubling their probability of being selected compared to Crabs.

Dolphins (50k–100k ADA): 3x Chances

Larger delegators have 3 times the chance of winning the reward compared to Crabs.

Sharks (>100,000 ADA): 4x Chances

The biggest contributors receive 4 times the chances to win.

At IndieStakeHub, our mission is to ensure that all ADA holders, regardless of their wallet size, have a fair opportunity to earn staking rewards while contributing to the decentralization of the Cardano network. Here’s a detailed breakdown of how our reward redistribution system works:

Epoch-Based Rewards

The Cardano blockchain operates on epochs, each lasting 5 days. During this time, staking pools have the chance to validate blocks, which in turn generate staking rewards.

At IndieStakeHub, if our pool successfully validates at least one block in an epoch, 40 ADA are set aside as a special reward for one lucky delegator.

Randomized Selection with Weighted Fairness

To ensure fairness while accounting for varying wallet sizes, the 40 ADA reward is distributed randomly but with weighted chances based on a delegator’s stake. This system levels the playing field while recognizing higher contributions without over-favoring them.

Here’s how the weighting system works:

Why Weighted Selection?

Traditional staking pools often heavily favor large wallets, discouraging smaller delegators. At IndieStakeHub, we create a fair and transparent system that welcomes everyone to participate.

By encouraging smaller delegators to join, we distribute the staking power across a wider network, aligning with Cardano’s core principle of decentralization.

By combining randomness with weighted fairness, IndieStakeHub provides a staking experience where everyone can win, all while advancing Cardano’s decentralization goals. Join us today and stake your ADA with confidence!

By capping the weight at 4x for Sharks, the system prevents extremely large wallets from monopolizing rewards, thus promoting decentralization and equity.

The weighted selection system is designed to strike a balance between fairness and incentivization:

Small wallets (Crabs) still have a meaningful chance to win, ensuring inclusivity. Larger wallets (Sharks) are rewarded for their significant contributions to the pool’s chances of validating blocks, but their advantage is capped to avoid disproportionate dominance.
