According to @ItsDave_ADA, he distributed his X monetization earnings entirely in ADA to DAVE stake pool delegators, source: @ItsDave_ADA on X, Nov 22, 2025. According to @ItsDave_ADA, he reports being blocked from monetization on X after these ADA-denominated distributions, source: @ItsDave_ADA on X, Nov 22, 2025. According to @ItsDave_ADA, he frames the move as a milestone for the DAVE pool and states he will continue focusing on what he believes matters to the Cardano community, making this relevant for traders tracking ADA community reward flows, source: @ItsDave_ADA on X, Nov 22, 2025.

According to @ItsDave_ADA, the DAVE stake pool is operating on Cardano node version 10.1.4 (source: @ItsDave_ADA on X, Nov 21, 2025). The operator states the pool contributes to Cardano’s stability with 34 million ADA delegated (source: @ItsDave_ADA on X, Nov 21, 2025). For ADA traders, this confirms a pool with 34M ADA has upgraded to v10.1.4, a concrete datapoint when assessing near-term network reliability and validator upgrade adoption (source: @ItsDave_ADA on X, Nov 21, 2025).

According to @ItsDave_ADA, the DAVE stake pool distributed over 14.2k ADA in rewards to delegators with an ROS of approximately 3.20%, source: @ItsDave_ADA. The update, posted on Nov 20, 2025, provides a real-time yield snapshot that traders tracking ADA staking returns can reference for pool performance monitoring, source: @ItsDave_ADA.

According to @ItsDave_ADA, the DAVE stake pool has minted 36 blocks so far this epoch with just under a day remaining, and the operator signals extra ADA rewards for delegators. Source: @ItsDave_ADA on X, Nov 14, 2025. For traders tracking yield, Cardano distributes staking rewards to delegators based on a pool’s blocks minted relative to its stake and protocol parameters each epoch, so above-expected block production can translate into higher rewards for that pool’s delegators.

Actionable takeaway: monitor the final epoch block count and the DAVE pool’s reward announcement to gauge realized ADA staking returns for this cycle.

According to @ItsDave_ADA, DAVE stake pool delegators will begin seeing increased ADA staking rewards, with the pool achieving approximately 2.81% ROS following the previous epoch (source: https://twitter.com/ItsDave_ADA/status/1984371774197244252). According to Cardano documentation, staking rewards are distributed on an epoch schedule and delegators commonly assess pool performance when deciding where to stake, making pool-level ROS updates relevant for yield-focused strategies (source: https://docs.cardano.org/explore-cardano/cardano-staking/; source: https://cardano.org/stake-pool-delegation/). According to the same source, the post provides no broader ADA price or network-wide ROS metrics, so traders should align any staking allocation decisions with their market analysis and risk controls (source: https://twitter.com/ItsDave_ADA/status/1984371774197244252).

According to @ItsDave_ADA, the DAVE stake pool is open for delegation and emphasizes low fees and performance, source: @ItsDave_ADA on X (Oct 30, 2025).

According to @ItsDave_ADA, the DAVE stake pool is stable and operational on the Midnight testnet with 157 blocks produced so far (source: @ItsDave_ADA). According to @ItsDave_ADA, infrastructure resources for mainnet have been planned and reserved to support launch readiness (source: @ItsDave_ADA). According to @ItsDave_ADA, DAVE delegators will earn dual rewards in NIGHT and ADA, confirming a two-token incentive structure (source: @ItsDave_ADA). According to @ItsDave_ADA, the DAVE pool has climbed from a 1000+ rank at inception to the top 67 across Cardano stake pools, indicating significant growth in operator standing (source: @ItsDave_ADA). According to @ItsDave_ADA, traders tracking ADA and NIGHT can monitor this operational progress and the dual-reward setup for staking allocation decisions (source: @ItsDave_ADA).
