We operate SMASH servers hoping to highlight member pools from the CSPA, xSPO and CMDP -- alliances of pool operators that we believe align with our long-term vision for the growth of Cardano.
The Cardano Single Pool Alliance or CSPA are all members who have pledged to only run one single stake pool, promoting a truly decentralized and vibrant ecosystem of diverse pool operators.
The Mission Driven Pools Alliance or CMDP are all pools that have pledged to donate a minimum of 10% of pool income to deserving charities, promoting Cardano for good globally.
The xSPO Alliance, or xSPO, is made up of any pool operator who chooses to join while their pool has less than 1M ₳ in active stake, working together on promotion, delegator education, and providing a space for SPOs to collaborate and grow (hopefully well beyond the 1M ₳ joining limit).
