Smit Blockchain Operations runs BKIND, a Cardano stake pool that has produced blocks since July 2020. Our goal has not changed since day one: a dependable, transparent pool that strengthens Cardano's decentralization and that delegators can trust with their stake.
We take part in on-chain governance as a registered DRep, and we publish the reasoning behind every vote we cast.
Security runs through everything we do. We build and open-source air-gapped tools for stake pool operators, DReps and wallet holders, so the safety of your keys never depends on software you are forced to trust blindly.
We also audit the Cardano ledger directly, with our own tooling written in Haskell. With it we do hands-on on-chain forensics: we trace how value really moves and check claims against what the ledger itself records, so a genuine problem can be told apart from a false alarm.
One idea ties it together: decentralize and harmonize. Blockchain is at its best when it helps people rely on one another instead of on a handful of gatekeepers.
