Epochs 368-440: Additional ADA rewards were paid directly to delegator wallets to compensate for higher pool fees of 340 ADA: renewpool.ch/payback-plan
Pool launch: Aug. 2021
Fixed fee: 170 ADA (min.)
Variable fee: 0%* (min.)
Pledge: 30'000 ADA
Live stake: 256'012 ADA
*: 0.5% when stake >1m ADA, 1% when stake >2m ADA
Epoch 446: Update November 2023
Quite some news this month!
The min pool fixed fee has been lowered from 340 ADA to 170 ADA! This means more rewards for our delegators. The variable fee ("margin") stays at 0% for now.
Because of the min fee change, the payback plan is coming to an end, since it was mainly launched to compensate the higher fixed fee from before.
Pledge has been increased from 26 kADA to 30 kADA.
The CNCAla ISPO came to an end and delegators who got CNCAla tokens can claim NFTs through ada-anvil.io. Read more on climateneutralcardano.org about the CNCAla ISPO.

Epoch 368: Start of Payback Plan
Starting in Epoch 368, Renew Pool will pay back a part of the fixed pool fee of 340 ADA per epoch to delegators, to increase delegator ROI (Return on Investment). This is to promote the pool until regular rewards are granted by a total pool stake of about 1-2 mADA.

One year review
Renew Pool is now running for more than one year. The following has been accomplished in this first year:
Running always the latest cardano-node software, currently version 1.35.3
The project ILUMES in which recycled ABS plastic is used to 3D-print large scale ceiling lamp shades has made some progress. Renew Pool is collaborating with ILUMES - and with your stake to Renew Pool you support this progress! See the following video for details:
The pool has reached a big milestone in 2022: Total delegation > 100'000 ADA. Thanks to all delegators the chance to produce blocks increased a lot! There is of course still a long way to go to reach millions which would ensure a constant block production every epoch.
On a side note the software was updated to cardano-node 1.33.0 which runs very smooth as usual.

2nd Update November 2021
Short update about what has happend with RENEW pool in november:
First pool's block produced this month! Finally RENEW has contributed to this awesome network! Rewards have been paid out to all our delegators.
All nodes have been updated to the newest cardano-node software 1.31.0 which runs flawless!

Update October / November 2021
An important milestone has been reached: Cardano pool RENEW is now at >25k ADA stake, more precisely at >26k ADA. This is important to have a real chance at block production.
The next step is to not only have a chance at block production but hopefully to perform block production on a regular basis.
A big thank you to all delegators that support RENEW pool!
During October we have rolled out the update to Cardano node version 1.30.1 which was released at the end of September.

Renew Pool is now also a proud member of xSPO Alliance and Cardano Bare Metal Alliance!
