Cardano stake pool · JUNO

The mint has a guardian again.

JUNO is a professionally operated Cardano stake pool built on redundant infrastructure, continuous monitoring, and transparent, independently verifiable economics. Juno once watched over Rome's own mint — JUNO watches every block it's trusted to produce, in the open, so you never have to take reliability on faith.

PoolTool ↗ Cexplorer ↗ AdaStat ↗

Independently verified

Ranked in the top 2.7% for relay health.

Cardano Relay Health Ranking is a free, independent tool that probes every Cardano pool's registered relays from the outside — reachability, chain-tip sync, redundancy, infrastructure independence, and response time — and grades them S through D. As of 2026-09-09, JUNO is one of only 35 pools — out of 1,277 ranked — scoring a perfect 100/100.

We don't run this tool and can't influence its score. Check it yourself, any time — it updates continuously and reflects a live network probe, not a claim we make about ourselves.

Why delegate to JUNO

Four things you can verify —
not four things to trust.

We don't ask for blind faith in a name. Every claim here is checkable on-chain or in the open, before you delegate a single ADA.

Non-custodial, by protocol design

Delegating never moves, locks, or exposes your ADA. Verify it yourself on any Cardano explorer the moment you stake — your funds never leave your wallet.

Economics published, not promised

Pledge, margin, and fixed fee are stated below and match on-chain data exactly. Cross-check against PoolTool, Cexplorer, or AdaStat any time — before or after you delegate.

Redundant by region and provider

Relays are distributed so no single data center, provider, or region failure takes block production offline. The block producer is never directly exposed.

Performance you can look up, not take our word for

Every block JUNO mints is public the instant it lands. Saturation, ROA, and uptime are numbers you can pull from a public explorer yourself, any time.

About the name

Why "JUNO"

On Rome's Capitoline Hill, the temple of Juno Moneta doubled as the state mint — the word "money" descends from her name. Cardano stake pools still mint, in the strict technical sense: every new block is proof-of-stake's version of striking a coin.

We named this pool for the goddess who watched over that process, and borrowed her other attribute too — the peacock, sacred to Juno, its tail said to carry the hundred eyes of the ever-watchful giant Argus. It's a fitting mascot for a job that's mostly about never blinking: watching relays, watching slots, watching for the block you were assigned to mint.

Names aside, JUNO is judged the way every pool should be — by pledge, by margin, by uptime, by blocks actually minted. All public. All checkable. That's the part that isn't mythology.

MONETA

The Mint

Transparent economics. Pledge, margin, and fee published and matched exactly on-chain.

ARGUS

The Watch

Redundant relays, continuous monitoring, and an operator who checks the alerts personally.

Infrastructure

Built to stay online when it's inconvenient not to.

Block production doesn't get a bad day. JUNO's topology, hardware, and monitoring are chosen to keep it that way.

Topology Block producer always hidden
Block producer never exposes its public IP; Relays are the only network-facing nodes, JUNO Relays are addressable over IPv4 and IPv6.

Relay locations Finland · France · The Netherlands
Geographically and provider-diverse, so no single outage takes JUNO offline.

Architecture Hybrid
JUNO runs on a Hybrid architecture, Hosted & Self-Hosted, Bare Metal · BP - 3 Relays · VPS - 1 Relay.

Block producer hardware Bare Metal AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6 cores / 64 GB RAM / NVMe 500 GB / Network speed 1 Gbps
Provisioned above minimum recommended cardano-node requirements, with headroom for peak load.

Monitoring 24/7 automated alerting
Missed slots, sync drift, disk, memory and peer health tracked continuously — this is how JUNO operates.

Security is key Air-gapped signing, cold keys offline
KES key rotation on schedule; operational certificate renewed before every expiry with margin to spare.

Latest Node version Tracked within days of official releases
Upgrades tested on a staging relay before touching production.

Mithril Signer JUNO is a Mithril Signer
Mithril Signer lets a stake pool operator contribute their stake weight to producing Mithril's multi-signature certificates, which let anyone — including their delegators — quickly bootstrap a fully-synced, trustworthy Cardano node from a compact cryptographic snapshot instead of a lengthy full chain sync.

How to delegate

Three steps. No custody changes hands.

Delegating to JUNO takes one transaction from a wallet you already control.

One click

Stake directly from this page

Connect your Cardano wallet and JUNO prepares the delegation transaction for you — you review it, then sign it yourself. There's a small one-time registration fee, and rewards start arriving automatically about 15–20 days later. Nothing leaves your custody, and you can unstake or switch pools at any time.

or delegate manually

Get a Cardano wallet

Install a wallet such as Lace, Eternl and make sure it holds some ADA. Your keys, your custody — always.

Search "JUNO"

Open your wallet’s staking tab and search JUNO’s ticker, or paste the pool ID below directly.

Confirm, then relax

Sign the delegation transaction — a small, one-time network fee. Rewards begin arriving automatically roughly 15–20 days later, every epoch after.

Frequently asked

Before you delegate, ask JUNO the hard questions.

Is my ADA safe if I delegate to JUNO?

Yes. Delegating never moves, locks, or hands over custody of your ADA — you delegate the stake, not the coins themselves. Your funds stay in your own wallet, under your own keys, the entire time. JUNO (or any pool) never has the ability to spend, freeze, or touch your balance. You can switch pools or stop delegating whenever you like, with no penalty and no unbonding period.

What does JUNO charge, and how is that decided?

Every pool sets a margin (a percentage of the rewards it earns) plus the small fixed per-epoch fee set by the network. JUNO's current margin, fixed fee, and pledge are published in the Pool Economics panel above and mirrored on-chain — you can verify every figure independently on PoolTool, Cexplorer, or AdaStat before you delegate, and again after.

When do rewards start arriving, and how often?

After you delegate, there's a short activation window before your stake starts earning — typically your first reward lands roughly 15–20 days later, timed to Cardano's 5-day epochs. From then on, rewards are calculated automatically every epoch and paid directly to your wallet (or restaked, depending on your wallet's settings) — no claiming, no manual steps.

Can I move my stake or stop delegating at any time?

Always. There's no lock-up, no cooldown, and no penalty for switching pools or withdrawing your delegation. The only cost is the standard network transaction fee for the redelegation itself. If JUNO's performance or parameters ever stop making sense for you, moving takes one transaction.

What is pledge, and why does JUNO's pledge matter?

Pledge is ADA the pool operator commits from their own wallet, JUNO was for a long time with a large pledge but this was removed since skin in the game had no effects on rewards. The operator of JUNO is run by a single stakepool operator committed for the long run rather than running a pool as a side experiment.

How is JUNO's uptime and block production actually monitored?

We call this discipline the Watch: relay nodes distributed across different countries and providers, redundant block-producing infrastructure, and automated alerting on missed slots, sync drift, and hardware health — checked continuously, not spot-checked. Every block JUNO mints is public and independently verifiable on any Cardano explorer. You don't have to take our word for the relay side either: Cardano Relay Health Ranking, an independent third-party tool neither we nor any operator controls, currently scores JUNO S — 100/100, one of only a small handful of pools with a perfect score. See the Relay Health section above for the live link and the full breakdown.
