Non-custodial
Every fish keeps its autonomy. Your ADA remain in your wallet, under your keys; you can move or redelegate them whenever you choose. The pool never touches your funds.
Chile Stake Po · Cardano pool · Ticker CHIL
A school of fish validating Cardano from Chile
Delegate your ADA without giving up custody. We have operated Cardano infrastructure since 2020, with a community that learns and votes together.
The pool
What is Chile Stake Po?
We are infrastructure participating in Cardano block production. When CHIL produces blocks and rewards, the protocol calculates and distributes them.
CHIL began in 2020 as an independent stake pool, and Cardano remains our focus: we operate it, explain it and vote in its governance. When you delegate to ticker CHIL, your ADA never leave your wallet — you only assign validation power, without giving up custody.
The story
Why a school of fish?
A school moves as one organism without any fish losing autonomy. That school is the community that delegates and participates: it is not CHIL, Cardumen.io or any custodian.
Real decentralization
Thousands of independent wallets choose independent pools. That distribution — not a central custodian — is what makes Cardano resilient.
Shared rewards
When the pool produces blocks, the protocol distributes rewards among everyone cooperating. Amounts vary; cooperation does not.
Track record
Since 2020, without interruption
An active pool, a weekly podcast, constant monitoring and a vote in every governance decision. A track record is not declared: it is verified on-chain.
Infrastructure
One way to operate
Cardano is home. We also operate infrastructure on Apex Fusion and Midnight, with the same standard as always: independence, constant monitoring and parameters verifiable on-chain.
Governance
Delegating is also deciding
With CIP-1694, Cardano became governed by its community: the constitutional committee, DReps and stake pools vote on protocol changes.
Delegating stake and delegating a vote are two different choices. The first selects who produces blocks; the second selects who represents you. We do the former and vote as a pool — representation is always your choice.
- CIP-1694The on-chain governance framework: DReps, the constitutional committee and voting SPOs.
- ConstitutionThe document that guides ecosystem decisions. We explain it in Spanish.
- Your voteEvery ADA counts: you can delegate voting power or participate directly.
Community
The school gathers every week
Weekly podcast, live streams and Spanish-language content to understand Cardano without the noise.
Action
How to delegate to CHIL
Three steps inside your own wallet. Your ADA never change hands.
Choose your wallet
Daedalus (full node, desktop) or Eternl (lightweight, extension and mobile). Both support Ledger and Trezor.
Look for ticker CHIL
In your wallet’s delegation centre, search for CHIL and verify that its pool ID matches the one published on Cexplorer.
Delegate and keep custody
Confirm the transaction. The first reward usually appears in 15 to 20 days; after that, the protocol distributes each epoch when the pool produces blocks. You can redelegate whenever you choose.
Returns vary and are set by the network — recently around 2.8–3% annually; verify them on Cexplorer. They are never guaranteed.
Frequently asked questions
Questions from the school
Do I give up custody of my ADA when I delegate?
No. Your ADA never leave your wallet: you only assign validation power and can move them whenever you want.
How often do rewards arrive?
When the pool produces blocks, the protocol distributes rewards each epoch — five days. The first one usually appears in 15 to 20 days. Amounts vary; nobody can promise a figure.
What does the CHIL pool charge?
A 2.9% margin on epoch rewards plus the network’s 340 ADA fixed cost per epoch. These are public parameters verifiable on-chain.
Can I change pools whenever I want?
Yes. Delegation does not lock your ADA: you can redelegate to another pool at any time from your wallet, with no waiting period.
