Low Fees
Viper Stake Pool has a very low fee per block. This fee structure distributes over 96% of the block rewards each epoch to our delegators.
High Reliability
We operate Viper Stake Pool on high-reliability cloud servers for guaranteed hardware performance and security. Multiple failover nodes are maintained and monitored by custom software to ensure 100% uptime.
Open Communication

Global Connectivity
- Our VIPER and ADDER block producer nodes are firewalled from the outside world to prevent denial of service attacks and malicious activity.
- We operate 4 relays with distributed connectivity to peers in the United States, Europe, Asia, and Oceania for optimal blockchain synchronization.
- Our nodes are connected via a redundant ring topology to ensure we stay connected to the global network even if a node goes down.

Free Viper stickers are still available! Message us on telegram if you would like us to send you one.
Remember: Real stake pools will never charge you for staking, and do not have access to your ADA! Pools collect a fee by taxing the block rewards before distributing it to the delegators.
