Introduction
We are excited to announce that the backend of the Cardano SPO Lottery Helper is now open source! This powerful tool is designed to assist stake pool operators in conducting fair lottery draws among their active delegators. By leveraging criteria such as the number of active epochs delegated and the delegator’s stake amount, this tool enables stake pool operators to reward their delegators based on their loyalty and stake. In addition to the regular staking rewards offered by the Cardano network, this lottery helper adds an extra layer of engagement and rewards for delegators.
With the backend now available as open source, SPOs can explore, contribute, and customize the lottery helper to suit their needs.
