| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 659 | 66 | 65.6 | 100.6% | 2.1% | ≈ 61,329,915 ADA |
| 658 | 71 | 68 | 104.4% | 2.19% | ≈ 63,544,419 ADA |
| 657 | 56 | 72.8 | 76.9% | 1.61% | ≈ 68,113,462 ADA |

Blocks expected = 21,600 an epoch for the whole network × the pool's share of the active stake. The return is computed from the blocks minted with the ledger's reward formula unless the rewards were reported.
