How to Staking Cardano (ADA)
A step by step guide
Are you ready to stake cardano?
Cardano is a proof of stake (PoS) blockchain. This means that even if you do not have the time or resources to run a stake pool, you can still delegate your ada to another pool operator and have it staked on your behalf.
To maximize rewards earned you want to choose a pool with low fees. There are two components to a pool’s fee: Variable fee and Fixed fee, We are committed to keeping the fee as low as possible, from 0% to 1% variable fee and the fixed fee of the Cardano system is 340₳ per epoch.
Staking is a process where ADA holders delegate their ADA to a staking pool. It enables ADA holders who do not have the skills or desire to run a full node to be part of the network and be rewarded proportionally based on the amount of staking that is delegated.
There is NO security risk for the user as you are not sending any funds to our pool, just delegating your account.

Note: If you are an delegate for the first time, you can wait 18 to 20 days for the reward to be distributed to your wallet.We are here to support Cardano Staking
Cardano delegation is the method by which individual coin holders can delegate their ADA to staking pools and earn Cardano rewards based on the size and performance metrics of those pools.
Essentially, delegation is how the everyman “mines” Cardano (though this is technically done by the pools that earn slot leader status in each five-day epoch).
In proof of work, miners invest computing power to compete to be chosen as the leader who gets to make the next block and win a reward for doing so. By contrast, in proof of stake, the stakeholder who will form the next block is randomly selected, proportionally to the size of the stake that they have, according to the blockchain ledger.
“Proof” means having evidence that blocks of transactions are legitimate. “Stake” means the relative value held by addresses on the node. “Relative value” is all the value held by wallets on a particular node divided by total value in the system.
There have been a number of attempts by other cryptocurrencies to develop a proof of stake algorithm, although these protocols have suffered from flaws and have not been shown to be provably secure.
For a blockchain to be secure, the means of selecting a stakeholder to make a block must be truly random. An innovation of Ouroboros to produce the randomness for the leader election process is to do this by way of a secure, multiparty implementation of a coin-flipping protocol.
Cardano’s Ouroboros protocol divides up its delegation staking rewards across five-day periods called epochs. These epochs are the periods during which different stake pools compete with one another to earn slot leader designation, which lets them create and validate new blocks.
ADA rewards are disbursed after every epoch.
Yes. When you delegate your ADA to a stake pool, you will pay a nominal transaction fee (the equivalent of a few cents in US dollars).
The very first time you delegate your stake you will also pay a 2 ADA deposit which is returned to you when you undelegate your funds.
