IOHK introduces ‘Smash’ metadata server for Cardano ecosystem
IOHK, the technology company behind the Cardano blockchain, today announced the introduction of SMASH – a Stake pool Metadata Aggregation Server, as a new component of the Cardano ecosystem.
Noting that node decentralization is a “key element,” a primary reason behind introducing Smash is to allow IOHK to try and minimize the influence of bad actors such as “potential attackers, spoof pools, and trolls.” However, in order to keep track of the information of the stake pools and to simplify the choice of a pool for the delegates, IOHK maintained that it is “crucial” that the data is relevant and valid.
