How to Stake

Staking is a safe and easy way to make Ada. Your funds stay in your wallet and are not required to be sent to a pool for you to stake. Choose the wallet you would like to stake from to get started.

Yoroi

Trezor

Ledger Nano

When do I get my rewards?

Rewards will be paid out 3 epochs (15 days) after the epoch in which you first staked ends. The example below steps through the events that take place when you stake.

Epoch 1: Ada Staked
Epoch 2: Epoch Snapshot
Epoch 3: Block Production
Epoch 4: Rewards Calculated
Epoch 5: Rewards Paid

FAQ

What is saturation?

When the ADA staked to a pool goes over the saturation level, the rewards paid out to delegators begin to diminish. Saturation is determined by the network parameter, 'k', which is currently set to 500. Optimal reward payouts occur at 100% saturation. For more information, visit https://cardano.org/stake-pool-operation/

What should I do if my pool is saturated?

Don't worry if your pool becomes lightly saturated. The amount of stake tends to quickly drop back to below saturated levels. However, if you feel more comfortable staking to a less saturated pool, check out our other pools. You will not lose any rewards by switching and will continue to receive your normally scheduled payouts.

When do I get my rewards?

Will I lose rewards if I switch pools?

No, you will not lose rewards by re-delegating from one pool directly to another pool. You will continue to receive your regularly scheduled payouts. However, if you undelegate and miss the epoch snapshot at the turn of the epoch, you will not receive the rewards for that epoch. The snapshot at the turn of the epoch occurs every 5 days.

Why does the Adapools bot show DIGI relays offline?

Don't worry, this is normal.

Because peer-to-peer is not implemented in the protocol yet, relays must be manually connected to each other. Occasionally, the peer list needs to be updated and the relays must be restarted. Don't worry though, the restarts are staggered and there are always relays online, but the AdaPools bot will send out a notification anyways. It is best to just ignore these notifications.

Where is DIGI7 and DIGI8?

Due to a reduction in stake, DIGI7 and DIGI8 were retired at the end of epoch 274, or June 29th, 2021. If you were staking to one of these pools and would like to stay on a low fee pool, please move your stake to DIGI5 or DIGI6 (0% fee). All other DIGI pools will remain operational and you will continue to receive your rewards.

How long will DIGI5 and DIGI6 remain at a 0% fee?

The 0% fees on DIGI5 and DIGI6 were planned to change back to the normal 2.5% at the end of 2021 but we decided to let the discount continue. We will make an announcement and let you know far in advanced before we change the fee back to the normal 2.5%.
