Roadmap Update

We still have the $LONIA token public sale which will now come in form of an ISPO.

Stake To $LONIA Pool

What is an ISPO

An initial stake pool offering (ISPO) is one of many ways for a crypto project to raise funds. It is a relatively new approach to crypto fundraising and was first introduced on the Cardano blockchain. Being a proof-of-stake (PoS) blockchain, Cardano permits investors to stake cryptos in support of the network’s decentralization and receive rewards in return. In this case, an investor can easily delegate their ADA (the native token of the Cardano blockchain) to their preferred pool operator, even when they lack the resources or the time to run their own stake pools.

LONIA Token ISPO

We have successfully set up the LONIA first ISPO pool, this will be a 100% LONIA pool.

This means that you will get 100% LONIA rewards when you stake to the $LONIA Pool.

Over 1 Million ADA have been delegated to the LONIA pool from over 80 delegators.

Join the first 200 delegators with a minimum delegation amount of 5000 ADA and be eligible to get Cardalonia land NFT airdrops.
