Supported Causes
Pool Initiatives
1) Our Journey For A Better Natural World
2) Showcasing Other SSPOs
a) To our best ability, Huat will donate a one-time corresponding sum at the end of every quarter, through Singapore’s Garden City Fund, to plant trees and/or corals. This would be based on a six-tier average active stake amount every quarter (about 12-16 Epochs)
b) Cardano Foundation announced a First Global Impact Challenge, aiming to plant 1m trees. On top of GCF, Huat will make a random donation between 15 – 500Ada towards CF’s mission and other future Global Impact Challenges, depending on pool performance and tiers achieved every quarter.
We made a 8th donation to Garden City Fund on end Epoch 422
Current Quarter: Epoch 423- 440– Stake with Huat today and be part of our journey towards a better natural world. At current stake, we will be planting 1 tree or 2 corals at end quarter.

a) As IOHK Chief Scientist Prof Aggelos Kiayias thoughtfully shared, we believe that a decentralized, diversified ecosystem will make the CardanoCommunity stronger and more resilient. This will future proof the blockchain, allowing it to become a global, secure and safe system for all to use.
b) Every biannually, we will showcase 10 other deserving smaller SPOs. Factors considered include blocks minted, active stake & initiatives etc.
Official Donations
As of Epoch 422, Huat has made the following donations:
♠ $2,400SGD for 8 trees through giving.sg for Garden City Fund’s Plant-A-Tree campaign.
♠ 115 Ada for 115 trees though Veritree First Edition Initial Tree Offering.
A Big Thank You to all our delegators who helped made this possible!
Like Charles, we love reconnecting w nature and geocaching is a great real-life treasure hunt activity. Every donated tree is named after a person who inspired Cardano and Huat will be tagging a geocache near to each tree. Hopefully this allows everyone to enjoy a little exploration to the many parks in Singapore and visit the Cardano Trees of Singapore. If you manage to log the cache, do take a photo of the tree and tag us.

Supporting the growth of the Cardano Eosystem
Project Catalyst is a community-led on-chain governance that allows the ecosystem to self determine growth priorities and enable /deploy funding to proposals which tackle a range of challenges, including educational, development, outreach etc.
With min 500 ADA, you would be able to cast your vote on your chosen proposals. Project Catalyst is divided into a series of funds which restarts every six weeks. Since our pool inception on Epoch 257, we had participated from Project Catalyst Fund 5 onwards, with a maximum cap of 6 proposals for each funding round to keep our voting meaningful.
Next up, IOG has announced a temporary pause to Fund 10 for repositioning and process improvements. Please refer to the official announcement here. If you are interested, you may register to provide your feedback or suggested improvements. Registration was initially slated to commence on 5 Jan 2023. Voting will begin thereafter (Note: if its your first time, please save your QR code & Pin code) . For details on the timeline/ eligibility/ stage details, please refer to here. We hope our contribution helps improve the ecosystem.
