# Using Tips & Tricks This section contains Tips and Tricks to make maintaining a Cardano Stakepool easier. When I was starting my own stake pool, I had hundreds of questions. Some of the questions are as simple as looking for links for maintaining nodes or which block explorer can be used for testnet. Some of these can easily be found in the internet, in official guides, in forums and in telegram and discord channels. However, if each Stake Pool Operator needs to go through the same learning curve as I did, adoption would take a long time. Hopefully, these tips and tricks can help both starting SPO‘s and those who already have some experience but are lookimg for specific solutions. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
