Celebrating Our Milestone With NFT Discounts and a Reflection on Cardano’s True Power: Its People.
We’re proud to announce that Mission Zambia Stake Pool (Ticker: ZAM) has minted its 100th block on the Cardano blockchain!
This is a meaningful milestone for us — not just because it marks a technical achievement, but because it tells a deeper story of inclusion, empowerment, and decentralization in its truest form.
🧍🏾♂️ A Doctor, Not a Developer — And Still, a Stake Pool Operator
By profession, I’m a pediatrician. I’ve never studied computer science, never been formally trained in coding, and didn’t grow up with dreams of becoming a blockchain engineer.
Yet today, I run a stake pool on Cardano — as an equal participant in a global financial operating system.
How? With affordable cloud infrastructure, open-source tools, and the kind assistance of a friend I jokingly call my “tech janitor,” I was able to go from zero to fully operational — and start contributing blocks to one of the most advanced blockchain networks in the world.
This is what decentralization of people looks like.
Not just decentralization of hash power, staked coins, or validator nodes — but of opportunity.
Cardano allows people from all walks of life — regardless of background — to step in, build, contribute, and make a difference. That’s what makes it not just a protocol, but a movement.
🗳️ Voltaire: Opening Even More Doors
As Cardano enters the Voltaire era, the platform becomes even more accessible.
With the rise of Delegated Representatives (DReps), the bar to meaningful participation is lowered further still. You no longer need to run any infrastructure to shape the future of the network — all you need is a voice, a vision, and the ability to bring others along with you.
This is governance done right: bottom-up, inclusive, and driven by thought leaders, not just technical ones.

🙌 Thank You for Walking This Journey With Us
From minting our first block after a long wait, to now reaching triple digits — every milestone we hit is thanks to the support of delegators, community members, and believers like you.
We’re not a tech startup. We’re not a VC-backed team. We’re a mission-led stake pool showing that blockchain can uplift, empower, and serve real people.
So here’s to 100 blocks — and to many more ahead.
Here’s to decentralization that’s truly human.
And here’s to building a better future, block by block.
