Contribute to the growth of the Koios community

What we do

Koios is a decentralised API project maintained by the Koios DAO. The core contributors grew out of the original Guild Operators — a group of experienced Cardano community members who built widely-used tooling for Stake Pool Operators. The Koios DAO continues to maintain that tooling, alongside the Koios API and the documentation site you are reading now. Our aim is to keep a single canonical source of operational guides (setup, administration, monitoring) and to make those jobs easier while still expecting users to have a professional level of knowledge in architecture, setup, security, and cardano-cli before relying on the portal. We strongly advise using an offline process and never exposing wallet or pool keys to internet services. Support is available through Telegram (announcements and general enquiries) and GitHub (bugs, problems, feature requests).

Why we need your help

By contributing to the Koios DAO, you help to create and maintain the Koios API and the surrounding toolchain that Cardano Stake Pool Operators rely on. This allows them to run their pools more effectively and securely, resulting in a better experience for delegators and a stronger Cardano network.

Continuous Enhancement

With your help, we will be able to devote more time and resources to consistently improving and updating our instructions and tools. This ensures that our documentation is current and up to date, keeping up with the newest Cardano innovations and addressing the community's increasing demands.

Knowledge that is easily accessible

The Koios Project strives to make difficult knowledge clear and accessible to everyone. You may help bridge the gap between technical understanding and practical application by funding our work, allowing more individuals to join in the Cardano ecosystem.

Contribute

We appreciate community contributions! Don't be afraid to become involved if you have relevant information, experience, or skills that may benefit the Koios Project. On our GitHub repository, you can contribute by submitting updates, creating new guides, reporting bugs, or suggesting new features.

Spread the News

Share the Koios DAO with your network to help us develop our community and reach more individuals. Spread the word on social media, in your stake pool community, or by referring individuals who may benefit from our services to us. We can enhance the Cardano ecosystem and have a long-term influence if we work together.
