IOG Highlighted Three Steps To Staking ADA
The three simple steps to staking ADA have been highlighted by the IOG in anticipation of the rally about to happen. The first step in staking ADA;
- Delegating ADA to a stake Pool
The interested investors are expected to hold their ADA in Cardano-compatible wallets which include the Yoroi, Flint, Adalite, Eternl. The investors can now find a dedicated pool to stake their assets to from the wallet’s platform using the staking tab
- Stake Confirmation and Activation
After selecting the pool, you will need to delegate your ADA to be registered for staking for an epoch (five days) before the initiation of a block-producing epoch to earn rewards. The staking reward is distributed within the 20-25 days of staking if the pool you picked produces blocks.
- Earning Rewards for Contributing to the Cardano Network
Your contributions will be calculated by the Ouroboros, the Cardano’s proof-of-staking pool at every epoch (five days). The calculation will be aimed at the number of stADA and the pool’s return on stake.
