Independent Cardano Stake Pool

A lighthouse for the ledger.

Zero margin. Signal only. BEACN runs at the lowest fees the protocol allows — and it's the home of the BEACN DRep, Ledger Scrolls, and ABCDE — built to outlive this website.

  • 0% marginThe protocol's absolute floor. It can't go lower, and it won't go higher.
  • 170 ₳ fixedThe minimum fixed fee Cardano allows an operator to set.
  • Bare metalOne operator, own hardware, Chicago. No cloud, no committee.
  • Verified by youThe pool ID, the votes, even the logo — everything here checks out on-chain.
The light

One tower. Three lights.

Signing blocks is what the hardware does. The light is what it's for — pointed at the parts of Cardano that stay dark: what nobody traces, what nobody keeps, and what nobody shows their work on.

The beam

ABCDE

“Every founder coin, followed to today.”

Light on what the chain keeps but nobody looks at. A best-effort trace of every founder coin — where the genesis ADA moved, who it delegated to, how it behaves in governance today. Clone the repo, point your AI at it, and ask. Forensics graded by evidence, not vibes — no node, no API key, no permission needed.

The log

Ledger Scrolls

“Verifiable by anyone. Deletable by no one.”

Read and write media directly onto the chain. No server, no host, nothing to take down — your browser raises the bytes back out of Cardano and verifies every hash before a word renders. The Constitution, the Bitcoin whitepaper, and the first video written into Cardano all live here. A library that cannot burn.

The signal

BEACN DRep

“Agentic governance with the lights on.”

Every vote is cast by an open-source pipeline anyone can read, run, and check. The reasoning is published with the vote; weak or stale evidence gets an abstain, not a guess. Delegate your voting power in any governance-enabled wallet — it's separate from staking, your ADA never moves, and you can do both.

On-chain identity

The brand is minted.

The originals don't live on a server. Each mark is an animated SVG minted into Cardano transaction metadata under BEACN's publisher policy — what this page shows is a copy; the chain holds the canonical bytes. Verify any of them.

BEACN_EPOCH_CLOCK — an animated chronograph whose yellow hand completes one revolution per Cardano epoch
BEACN_EPOCH_CLOCK

An on-chain chronograph. The yellow hand turns once per epoch — 432,000 slots, one second each — the same countdown running at the top of this page.

BEACN_NEON_SIGN — a neon motel-style sign reading DELEGATE HERE, beacnpool.org, ADA accepted here
BEACN_NEON_SIGN

The signage. A neon motel sign for the open ledger — vacancy forever, delegation welcome.

Ticker

The lowest fees Cardano permits — and the 170 ₳ isn't margin, it's the budget: it keeps the block producer running and funds the DRep, the Library, and ABCDE. BEACN is a small pool, so blocks come in bursts — over time rewards average out to the standard rate.

Search BEACN in any wallet, or paste the pool ID to verify you've found the right one.

Pool ID

Verify before you delegate — the ticker can be imitated, the ID can't.

The beacon

The mark, in the round.

The BEACN badge as an object — the lighthouse and the ethernet port it actually runs on, cast in three dimensions. Drag to turn it.
