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.

According to @ItsDave_ADA, the DAVE stake pool has produced its first two blocks on the Midnight testnet, confirming live block production on testnet (source: @ItsDave_ADA on X, Sep 1, 2025). The post also invites users to stake with the DAVE stake pool, while providing no additional performance metrics, timelines, or mainnet details (source: @ItsDave_ADA on X, Sep 1, 2025).
