Hi, thanks for your time. Tell us something about yourself, where are you based?

Moje ime je Toshi Karasaki and I own the KaraT Stake Pool (KARAT). I am japanski and I live in Bangkok, Tajland

I have been travelling since 1990 and have been to many countries. I have been interested in crypto since 2016.

The KARAT pool was registered in November 2022. KARAT aims to support the decentralization of the Cardano ecosystem i u isto vrijeme donate approximately 25% of the stake pool’s revenue to an orphanage in Thailand u budućnosti. 

Naša block generation node se nalazi u Singapur. Currently we have minted 1 block and maintain an average stake of 270,000 ADA.

Koji je put koji vas je doveo do Cardana i da postanete Stake Pool Operator (SPO)?

Bio sam purchasing and staking ADA ever since I came across this blockchain, but I thought that I could contribute more to Cardano, so I took on the challenge of setting up a new pool with the cooperation of Japanese SPOs in Bangkok.

We will contribute to the decentralization and security improvement of the Cardano network.

How are crypto and blockchain viewed in Japan? Is there a strong Japanese Cardano community?

Japanese startups are unfortunately lagging behind the rest of the world, not just in blockchain. Crypto and blockchain are not popular yet. Only a few % people are involved, but there is a big Cardano Community pozvan SPO JAPAN GUILD.

What are you most looking forward to with Cardano? Are there any particular projects you’re keeping an eye on?

We look forward to further recognition of the Cardano ecosystem u narednim godinama.

We are a latecomer single pool, so we have our concerns about the future, but we would like to work on stable operations with the aim of becoming a pool that will serve as a bridge between communities in Japan and Asia.

I joined the Guild to contribute to the ultimate scalability blockchain because I was impressed by Cardano’s philosophy of providing wallets for 1 billion people. I recommend everyone to keep learning and be part of a great ecosystem!

The first goal is to achieve a delegation of 3 million ADA and aim for stable operation.  

Great contribution. Where can people stay in touch?

Currently, we are only on cvrkut, but in the future we would like to have a website and YouTube channel.
