Pledging is the act of stake pool operators having their own ADA as part of the pool’s stake. The higher the amount of ADA pledged, the more rewards the pool will receive.
During pool registration, stake pool operators may opt to pledge some or all of their stake to make their pool more attractive.
The amount of pledge in a pool is shown as part of its statistics in the Daedalus and Yoroi wallet. You can also find the data on third-party sites like Adapool.org or pooltools.io.
Goat Stake has a total of 3 million+ ADA pledged across all GOAT pools. We operate some of the highest-pledged stake pools on the market. Check out our pool list for more info.
