A network parameter that scales how strongly operator pledge influences reward distribution. A higher a0 means pools with larger pledges earn proportionally more rewards than equally sized pools with low pledge; a lower a0 flattens the difference and weights pools more by their total delegation.
a0 works together with k to shape stake pool incentives toward both decentralization and operator commitment.
