The Operator
ARTMS is run by a single operator from a cottage in the Quantock foothills of Somerset, UK. The nodes run on bare-metal servers — not cloud, not rented — UPS-protected with a fibre-optic connection.
Every epoch this pool mints a block, a personal donation goes to a verified charity. Not a promise — a practice running since epoch 429.
No delegators? No problem — happy to help decentralise the network regardless. This pool runs because it should, not because it's profitable.

It earns you Cardano rewards. And it triggers a personal donation to a verified charity — every epoch this pool mints a block. 30 charities supported since epoch 429.
Decentralisation
Cardano's security depends on stake being spread across many independent operators — not concentrated in a handful of large pools. Stake held by people like this is what stops it becoming another system a few companies control.
Honest answer on rewards: every pool charges a fixed fee per epoch before delegators get paid — ARTMS charges the minimum 170 ₳. That hits harder on a small pool, so yes, returns are slightly lower than a large saturated pool. 0% margin keeps the gap as small as possible.
The trade-off is real but small. What you're really deciding is whether your stake backs a person or a corporation.

Roadmap
01 0% margin until 3M ₳ staked. Zero missed blocks. Every block we're scheduled to mint, we mint.
Active
02 Solar panels planned. A small margin increase will fund them — the aim is to make this pool carbon neutral.
Upcoming
03 A bare-metal stakepool in Southern Africa with a local partner. More geography, more resilience.
Future
Testnet verified
ARTMS successfully ran a Midnight testnet validator and minted blocks on it. Now in federated mode while Midnight prepares for mainnet — ready to go when it does.
