About Cardano

Cardano is a research-driven proof-of-stake blockchain that runs on the Ouroboros consensus protocol. ADA holders can delegate to stake pools without locking their coins, and ADA pays transaction fees and votes in on-chain governance.

How to stake ADA

  1. Log in, open New stake and select ADA.
  2. Set the amount and term, then submit to receive a dedicated deposit address.
  3. Deposit on the Cardano network. Rewards begin accruing after on-chain confirmation.
