Delegator Rewards
Delegating to DOTAR earns you ADA rewards, and partner tokens on top of them.
Cardano's own staking rewards, paid to your wallet every epoch (5 days). With a 0% margin, every reward after the fixed fee is yours.
DOTAR is a featured pool in RealFi's SPO Accelerator. Delegators earn R-Points every day, which turn into RFG, RealFi's governance token, at the end of each season.
$LOBSTERDOTAR is a Lobster Royal Pool. Delegators who hold Lobster Royal NFTs claim $LOBSTER every epoch through DripDropz.
Pool Retirement Check
When a pool retires, your ADA stays in your wallet but stops earning. Many wallets don't warn you. Look up your pool by name, ticker or pool ID.

The Honest Part
Small pools pay a tax. Every delegator shrinks it.
Cardano takes a fixed fee from every epoch a pool makes blocks, before delegators are paid. Big pools spread it across many blocks. DOTAR makes a block every few epochs, so the fee takes about half.
That is why our return is lower than a big pool's today. It is also why your ADA matters more here. More stake means more blocks, and more blocks means the fee takes a smaller share from all of us.
That includes the endowment. Liquid-pledged ADA is staked with DOTAR, so every delegator who joins raises what the endowment earns for UBI, while keeping every one of their own rewards.

PoolMan.ioDOTAR's relays and block producer run on PoolMan.io, which runs every node in P2P mode on the latest Cardano node version, watches them around the clock and keeps a hot standby block producer ready to take over. PoolMan holds only the keys a block producer needs; DOTAR's cold key never leaves Dotare.
DOTAR is a registered Mithril signer. Mithril is a protocol that lets pools co-sign certified snapshots of the chain, so wallets, light clients and new nodes can catch up quickly and safely without replaying Cardano's whole history.
