🚨RABIT IS RETIRING🚨 A gentle reminder that my pool will retire at the end of epoch 666. Tagged a few people in the hope this will get some visibility: since the announcement very little stake has moved. Please redelegate to SINGLE POOL OPERATIONS🙏 Thank you♥️

🚨RABIT IS RETIRING🚨 My mainnet pool will retire at the end of epoch 666 (Nov 9th, 2026) After 6 years of continuous operation, I wanno thank all delegators past and present🙏 It has been a great journey, I will forever bring with me the people I met during it ♥️

This is exactly why I think the pools should be retired. A huge amount of this delegation likely came from Yoroi’s position in the ecosystem, not because thousands of users independently chose the future operator of these pools. Many delegators probably forgot they’re even delegated there. Handing years of accumulated, sticky delegation to one person while saying “no action required” is the opposite of encouraging active decentralization. Close the pools. Let delegators choose again. I feel like aim taking crazy pills that I even had to type this out. @emurgo_io how about actually looking out for Cardano for once.

Nine years ago today, Cardano minted its first block. A global community has been building this blockchain ever since. Some are in this video, and many more are reading this. This celebration is yours. Happy 9th birthday, Cardano.
