Cardano proposal would cut minimum pool fee 55% to 75 ADA

  • Minimum pool fee would drop from 170 ADA to 75 ADA, a 55% cut
  • Prior ballot failed Sept. 1 with only 34.5% SPO support versus a 51% threshold
  • New action changes only minPoolCost, so no SPO vote is needed
  • As of Sept. 23, yes votes were 11.7% of DRep stake against a 67% threshold
Why it matters: A lower floor gives small pools more room to compete on price, but delegators benefit only if pools actually cut their declared fees.
