According to @ItsDave_ADA, the DAVE stake pool has 865 delegators and about 28 million ADA delegated, ranking 85th among Cardano stake pools with only a 2k pledge, and it is also a Midnight testnet validator (source: @ItsDave_ADA). For ADA traders tracking on-chain participation, @ItsDave_ADA frames these metrics as evidence that Cardano staking is permissionless and sustainably operable by anyone, a feature they claim is uncommon on other blockchains (source: @ItsDave_ADA).

According to @ItsDave_ADA, the DAVE stake pool has minted 13 blocks on the Midnight testnet. According to the same source, DAVE plans to operate as a Midnight mainnet validator. According to @ItsDave_ADA, delegators to DAVE are expected to earn dual rewards in ADA and NIGHT, positioning a dual-token yield opportunity for Cardano participants.
