Blockchain enthusiast i joined NEAR ecosystem in 2020. I started with OSA guild, which help validators to join guildnet/testnet or mainnet. Growing in the ecosystem, i joined the lead team of OSA and take part in some actions manage by NEAR Foundation (Near Docs, NearUp, etc) I’m now Support/Community Helper on NEAR Discord. I think you already saw a panda face on it 🙂 I’m also involved in some NEAR project as Cheddar, MetaPool etc 😉 ## General information - Organization Name: PandaTeam - Official Website: To be publish - Location: France - Languages: English, French ## Communication Channels - Telegram: @Crypt\_Dav - Discord: Dav#5233 - Twitter: [https://twitter.com/DeAlmeidaDavid](https://twitter.com/DeAlmeidaDavid) ## NEAR articles and tools - PandaTeam Explorer: [https://explorer.near.org](https://explorer.near.org/accounts/pandateam.poolv1.near) - GitHub: [https://github.com/DDeAlmeida](https://github.com/DDeAlmeida) ## Technical Information: - Staking Pool Address: pandateam.poolv1.near - Fees: 1% - Infrastructure: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS AMD Ryzen™ 9 3900 Processors 12 cores 128 GB DDR4 ECC RAM 2 x 1.92 TB Nvme SSD With Raid 1 Backup server up and ready ---

Hello, I’m going to speak in English, but you can DM me or Ping me in Discord/Telegram if needed 😉 1% is the fees use by the validator on the rewards earn by delegator. For instance, You have Staked 100Near tokens with a APY of 10%. Each year, you can earn up to 10Near if you have a validator with 0%. My fees are 1%, so i will earn 0.1Near from you, and you will earn 9.9 Near 😉 ---
