We want to address a recent issue some of you may have noticed with our pool statistics reporting on PoolTool.io.

What Happened?

Over the past few days, our node statistics were not being properly reported to PoolTool.io, one of the popular Cardano pool monitoring services. This could have caused concern among our delegators who rely on these stats to monitor pool health.

Root Cause

After investigation, we identified the issue: faulty scripts on our end were preventing proper stat reporting. This was not a node issue or network problem – simply a script error that needed correction.

Resolution

We’re happy to report that the issue has been completely resolved. Our reporting scripts have been:

✅ Debugged and fixed ✅ Tested thoroughly ✅ Redeployed to production ✅ Verified working correctly

Current Status

Our pool is now reporting stats correctly to PoolTool.io. You can verify this by checking our pool page:

Pool Health

Despite the stats reporting issue, our pool continued operating normally throughout:

  • ✅ Block production: Unaffected
  • ✅ Uptime: 99.9%+
  • ✅ Node health: Excellent
  • ✅ Delegator rewards: On track

The stats issue was purely cosmetic – it only affected external monitoring displays, not actual pool operations.

Monitoring Improvements

To prevent similar issues in the future, we’ve implemented:

Enhanced Monitoring

  • Automated alerts for stat reporting failures
  • Regular script health checks
  • Redundant monitoring systems

Better Testing

  • Staging environment for script changes
  • Automated testing before deployment
  • Rollback procedures if issues occur

Documentation

  • Detailed runbooks for common issues
  • Incident response procedures
  • Post-mortem analysis

Transparency Matters

We believe in transparent communication with our delegators. Even though this was a minor issue that didn’t affect rewards or pool performance, we wanted to:

  1. Acknowledge the problem
  2. Explain what happened
  3. Share how we fixed it
  4. Outline prevention measures

This is part of our commitment to running a professional, reliable stake pool.
