For the December edition of the Spotlight article, we interviewed Josef from [ADApools](https://adapools.org/). | ||
<br /> | ||
|
||
**_Hey Josef! Happy to connect today and learn more about the ADApools project! Can you tell us more about the founding of the project and the problem you were addressing?_** | ||
|
||
Hi, thanks for the invitation! It started in the early days of ITN when there was no list of pools with their performance and no way to compare. I like to process open data. Such a tool was completely missing on the market. So it was such a logical evolution and fun. Over time, as Jormungandr added more data, ADApools eventually grew into a serious project. | ||
So the goal was to create a feature-rich comparison tool, which, looking at it today, has been achieved. | ||
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
**_Could you please give us a rundown of the most important things about ADApools?_** | ||
|
||
We've created the biggest and most popular pool comparison site, which is great! | ||
But ADApools has long been about more than just looking for a pool or checking how your pool stacks up against others. | ||
It's now a huge colossus, and the amount of features and tools go far beyond a list of pools. We have all sorts of on-chain data analysis, various APIs, callbacks, bots, graphs, an [early-stage asset browser](https://cardanoassets.com/), a [transaction browser]( https://adaex.org/) with [testnet support](https://testnet.adaex.org), and now the recently launched [NFT explorer](https://adapools.org/nft). | ||
|
||
<br /> | ||
|
||
**_So going forth into 2021 and beyond, how will Cardano and ADApools make an impact in the crypto space, or on the world?_** | ||
|
||
In any case, we want to continue supporting the Cardano ecosystem because it is a great project with an awesome future. It is important not to rest on our laurels and keep up with the development of the cryptocurrency world and Cardano itself. | ||
The only thing I would like to see is a fundamental change in Daedalus wallet - delegation center - pool sorting - not be the first one's 0% pools with a high stake. This leads to small pools being destroyed, especially when delegators see the potential rewards: 0. | ||
|
||
|
||
<br /> | ||
|
||
**_Now, could you tell us about your accomplishments so far, and in the history of the project, please tell us what you are most proud of._** | ||
|
||
Of course, I'm most proud of the fact that we are by far the most significant pool explorers and help people every day to choose a pool to delegate or check where they are at. Doubly proud of the fact that although we didn't win catalyst funding, we found our own way of funding - currently, we have about 140 people supporting us through, [Patreon](https://adapools.org/patreons) for example, which is an incredible achievement and a sign of support from the community, it's just great! | ||
|
||
|
||
<br /> | ||
|
||
**_Now, give us a quick rundown of the future of ADApools. For example, what new things are you seeking to bring to life, and what will it mean for the overall project?_** | ||
|
||
There are a lot of those things at the moment. We want to extend ADApools.org to something like [etherscan.io](https://etherscan.io/). We are considering launching POOLS tokens and doing funding for ADApools development. [Cardanoassets.com](https://cardanoassets.com/) with the advent of smart contracts, I could see something close to [Coinmarketcap](https://coinmarketcap.com/), focused on Cardano, I also have some more comprehensive API in mind, but we already have [blockfrost.io](https://blockfrost.io/) from my great colleague [Marek Mahut](https://twitter.com/stakenuts), so I guess there's no need. | ||
|
||
|
||
|
||
<br /> | ||
|
||
**_Tell us about your team. Who're the people behind the screens?_** | ||
|
||
ADApools belongs to the [Cardanians.io group](https://cardanians.io/en/about ), with ADApools operating as an independent project. This means that we don't interfere with each other's work and work on projects independently. From Cardanians, [Jaromir](https://twitter.com/JaromirTesar) and I, [Josef](https://twitter.com/0xb_yosef), are participating in the project. But we have a lot of other people who help us - I must mention [Danny](https://twitter.com/danny_cryptofay), who manages the [groups](https://adapools.org/groups) and a lot of other [contributors and translators](https://adapools.org/contributors). | ||
|
||
|
||
<br /> | ||
|
||
**_Which partnerships have you engaged so far, and which ones are the most impactful?_** | ||
|
||
We have many partnerships, and to be honest, I don't even keep track of them all anymore. I have to mention the great [Yoroi wallet](https://yoroi-wallet.com/#/), where we provide data on pools, or [adalite.io](https://adalite.io/), which also works with our data. There are a lot of sites that more or less take our data and work with it somehow, which is great. Our server that hosts static files/ resources for public use-case gets a lot of traffic, so data/api is used quite intensively. | ||
|
||
|
||
<br /> | ||
|
||
**_Thank you for your time! Do you have anything else to add?_** | ||
|
||
Thank you, Kevin, for the interview. I would like to wish you and all readers a peaceful holiday and a happy new year on behalf of the whole team. I believe that next year will be even more interesting than this year; I'm looking forward to it. | ||
