A one-person company
built on Cardano
Exploring a one-person company model supported by a Cardano stake pool and sharing practical experience. The aim is for Cardano to become new infrastructure for one-person companies in the future.
Staking as a new subscription model
Traditional subscriptions require users to pay recurring fees. Pao Studio is testing a new subscription model based on Cardano native staking. For most ADA holders, participating in staking means delegating to a stake pool. Users delegate ADA to Pao Pool with no additional payment, lock-up, or custody, while continuing to receive staking rewards as usual. Pool operating revenue keeps Pao Pool running and supports the content and product services provided by Pao Studio.
No separate subscription fee
ADA is not transferred to Pao Studio or Pao Pool and is not locked during delegation.
Delegation represents membership
On-chain delegation status can identify members and provide access to relevant content, product features, early releases, and member events.
Pool revenue supports operations
Pao Pool operating revenue pays for nodes, servers, AI services, and product development, providing one source of income for the one-person company.
Delegators take part in product iteration
Delegators can test early products and submit actual requirements. That feedback informs product adjustments.
No separate subscription fee is required. Delegating ADA to Pao Pool provides access to the content and product services we offer.
