This not so simple because needles to say influences also contribute to the success because they often bring new users but balance should not be too much skewed.
This problem is recognized and some work is ongoing but much much more needs to be done.
Here what needs to happen:
1. Multi delegation portfolios [IOHK] + community including staking portfolios. @viperstakepool@CryptoJoe101@PooltoolI@Stakeboard_ 2. Education among friends, family that community builder pools are key 3. Support from IOG and Cardano Foundation (in progress)
@PooltoolI is already synced up with @adafolio1 but we need all wallets and all websites to support this.
Here worth to watch (!)
Here rather an incomplete list of Independent Developer SPOs but a good starting point.

Since some of you are depressed with PAB on Cardano taking longer than expected by the community, let me try to cheer you up and you tell me if this worked.
... thread...
"We recognize the power of UTXO, this is why at @fuellabs_ we are building the most scalable optimistic rollup in the world, with unique UTXO-based design on Ethereum as L2 solution. We just don't believe 6 years peer reviewed research that IOHK is doing is necessary".
In Catalyst I voted for many proposal but notably:
- Elm Integration with Plutus
- Plutus PAB Typescript SDK
- Maladex: Algorithmic Swaps Protocol (MALADEX)
- Maladex: Cardano Index Funds (MALADEX)
- Indigo: Synthetic Assets on Cardano
- Reach PoC
- Connecting delegators to SPOs
- Multisig For Building EVM Bridges (DC SPARK)
- Blockfrost PAB
- Multiverse - dApp Rollback Handler (DC SPARK)
- Cross-chain Asset Transfer Standard (DC SPARK)
- API for Multi-Delegation Portfolios
Q: You mentioned CRFA is working on stakepool accounting software, this got me thinking, what is this?
A: We noticed that each epoch, month we have to do some actions that could be automated like sending % of revenue to charity, reserving ADA for our epoch lottery.
Q: So it will withdraw rewards for stake pool and credit this into account + cost and distribute profit based on pledge to pool owners?
A: YES! This is a bit of a mess to manage this, some profit is pledge based, some is stake pool based and its harder when you have more owners
Q: Ok but this is not so easy, sometimes utility bill for electricity or cloud is in USD not always in ADA
A: This is true but it is possible to convert also and we are working on automation for ADA payments, for some things it will work well as more and more ppl have ADA addr
I get asked a question why I am against MPOs (Multi Pool Operators).
Let me explain. It is a bit complex, they are not the worst in some cases albeit far from ideal.
It is all about added value.
I have been working as a Tech Lead now for years in rather large organisation. I have this position that somehow puts me in hierarchy higher. Over years however I noticed that ingenuity and many great ideas comes from people below my "level" and I felt this level things is stupid
In this sense ADA delegated to another stake pool could enable them to realize ideas I didn't even come across.
OK you could argue but as a multi SPO I could hire many people and we together would innovate on ideas and provide additional value to the Cardano ecosystem or?
- new page for Cardano Blockchain Insights based on data from @adapools_org -> adapools.org/groups, we will have soon a full historical backfil as well (!)
- turning our crfa-token-app (sending community tokens plus sending epoch rewards) with extra capability of accounting software for SPOs, btw: @ccwalletio we need to catch up next week
Accounting software means it will withdraw staking rewards, distribute rewards based on pledge
to owners and pool revenue will be shared among pool owners minus internal treasury, minus costs, minus epoch rewards, minus utility bills.
income - costs = profit and then automatically send to wallets of owners and companies / entities (e.g. charity ADA wallet, sponsorships)
Added value can vary:
- podcasts / youtube - e.g. H4SH
- develops library, TANGO, NUTS, BLOXB
- creates tools for Cardano, e.g. EASY1
- organises meetups in local country, e.g. POA, HERMES
- translates content to a local language, e.g. SWIM
- takes more active role in project catalyst, e.g. FAY
- develops SPO tools, e.g. CLIO1, EASY1, ATADA, BSCH
- develops UI community tools: PEGA, LOVE
- creates wallet: TITAN
- maintains relay nodes in exotic locations, e.g. ADA
- creates interesting consumer products, e.g. MUSE
Please note that mentioned pools are only examples, I missed tons of pools which provide additional value in those categories (!).
