Frequently Asked Questions
What is ROA in staking?
Return on ADA (ROA) measures the annualized yield a stake pool has delivered to delegators. It accounts for pool performance, luck, and fees — a key metric for comparing pools.
What is pool saturation?
Saturation is how full a pool is relative to its optimal size (currently ~64M ADA). An oversaturated pool produces diminishing returns. Under-saturated pools typically offer full rewards.
Is PoolTool useful for stake pool operators?
Yes. PoolTool has dedicated tools for SPOs including block monitoring, missed block alerts, and performance tracking dashboards.
How is PoolTool different from Cexplorer for staking?
Both cover staking data. PoolTool is specifically optimized for staking analytics with more depth on pool statistics and a dedicated rewards calculator, while Cexplorer is broader with DeFi coverage too.
