Stake Pool & DRep

Welcome to the home of the Venables Stake Pool BabyMetal (VSPBM). I am a dedicated Cardano Stake Pool Operator (SPO) and Registered Delegate Representative (DRep) focused on my own infrastructure resilience and transparent governance

Mission Statement

My mission is to safeguard the Cardano network as much as I can by providing high-availability block production on independent hardware and ensuring that governance decisions are made with a “Technical First” mindset.

We believe that Cardano’s strength lies in its decentralization; therefore, I operate entirely on Bare Metal infrastructure, avoiding the risks associated with centralized cloud providers.

“Decentralization isn’t just a goal; it’s a practice.”
