Cardano Foundation has announced that over $500 billion worth of ADA is currently being delegated to mission-driven stake pools. Driven by community initiative, mission-focused pools donate a percentage of block rewards to charitable causes. The largest one has already collected 12.3 million ADA tokens, worth $14.6 million. Cardano Delegated to Charity-Focused Stake Pools Mission-driven stake pools donate a portion of a delegator’s block rewards to charity either through ADA or fiat, in addition to helping validate transactions on the Cardano network in a similar way as other staking pools. The rewards generated from a mission-driven pool are similar to those of the usual stake pools. Only in the case of the charity-focused pools, delegators can contribute to social causes while profiting from the crypto end. This way the Cardano community can support charities while also build upon their ADA balance.
