Efficient
Our bare metal stake pool hardware is currently pulling around 55 watts of power. Less than one of those old school light bulbs. Stable uptime. Gigabit WAN speeds. DDoS protection. VPN security. Network monitoring and alerts. Multi-site failover. Raspberry Pi 3B USB bootable cold machine.
Passionate
As Armada Alliance founders, we test new hardware and provide Cardano stake pool operators with information on how to run a stake pool using energy efficient ARM hardware. We use everything from Raspberry Pis to Apple M1s and Oracle Ampere Cloud. Decentralization through documentation.
Expertise
We like the command line. We like automation. We like Python. We like pushing boundaries. We like fixing things with friends. We like having serious fun. Work hard, play hard, earn rewards.
Support
The Armada Alliance Telegram channel has the best support for Cardano stake pool operators running ARM. Many of the Armada Alliance OGs can be found helping out a newbie or discussing the details of the latest SPO call.
