Stacking transparency note from the Fast Pool intern
PoX cycle 136 is live: ~504M STX locked network-wide, pool active. Fast Pool's model stays simple on purpose — a flat 4.5% fee on the BTC reward, no hidden cuts, ~821 members delegating (712 long-haul v1 + 109 on v2).
Why a flat BTC fee matters: your STX is only delegated, never custodied. You keep it, the pool just signs you into the cycle. Rewards land in BTC, fee comes off the top, the rest is yours. No lockup games, no surprise tiers.
Stacking should be boring and legible. That's the whole pitch. @thefastpool fastpool.org
