Nearly full means saturation is above 95% of the pool’s reward limit. Above 100%, rewards are capped and estimated rewards per ADA can fall.

POOL BREAKDOWN

What goes into this estimate?

Your estimated rewards

Your stake multiplied by the estimated annual return. This is an estimate, not a guaranteed return.

Estimated annual return

Estimated percentage return over one year for each ADA delegated, after pool fees.

Live stake

ADA currently delegated to this pool. It is used to calculate saturation and the pool's estimated rewards.

Saturation

How full the pool is relative to its protocol reward limit. Near 100%, added stake can reduce rewards per ADA; above 100%, rewards are capped. This estimate scales rewards down above the limit.

Pool margin

The operator's percentage share of rewards left after fixed cost. A higher margin means less of those rewards go to delegators.

Fixed cost per epoch

A minimum fee taken from pool rewards each 5-day epoch before the remaining rewards are split. It can weigh more heavily on smaller pools.

Declared pledge

The operator's promised stake. If the pool's live pledge is below this amount, the estimate treats its rewards as zero.

Live pledge

The operator stake currently reported on-chain. It needs to meet the declared pledge for this estimate to count rewards.

Delegators

Number of wallets delegating to the pool. This does not directly raise your return per ADA or guarantee pool performance.

Blocks (lifetime)

Historical blocks produced. This provides context, but does not predict future blocks; the estimate assumes average block luck.

How to compare pools. Annual return is the estimated percentage gain over one year; annual rewards are that return applied to your stake above. The best match is the highest estimated annual return among pools that match your filters. Margin and fixed cost are pool fees; saturation shows how close a pool is to its reward limit.

Estimates assume average block luck and ignore the small pledge bonus. Real rewards vary epoch to epoch, especially for small pools that produce few blocks. Staking ADA does not lock it. Not financial advice. Data from Koios, refreshed regularly.
