InfrastructureOuro Pass
Decentralized identity and subscription infrastructure 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.
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.
ADA is not transferred to Pao Studio or Pao Pool and is not locked during delegation.
On-chain delegation status can identify members and provide access to relevant content, product features, early releases, and member events.
Pao Pool operating revenue pays for nodes, servers, AI services, and product development, providing one source of income for the one-person company.
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.
Delegate to Pao PoolNon-custodial · No lock-up · Change pools anytimePractical crypto trading strategy content covering market views, trade rationale, execution conditions, and risk considerations.

Token raffles for delegators, with potential prizes including ADA, SNEK, and other assets. Prizes and eligibility are defined in the rules for each raffle.
Once beta testing begins, Pao Pool delegators will receive early access and can take part in product feedback.
Delegating ADA to Pao Pool supports our open-source product development for the Cardano ecosystem.
