Stake ADA from Account

This section is for Operators only.

Prerequisites for staking ADA

To initiate staking operations, you need to be a Creator in the staking governance rules of the account. If you are not, please contact your administrators to request the necessary permissions.

Stake ADA from app UI

Step 1: Register Your Account

1. Visit your account page and click Register.

2. A modal will open with a prefilled deposit of 2 ADA to the blockchain.

3. Approve the transaction on your PSD.

4. Refresh the page after the transaction is confirmed.

Note: Only the deposit is needed. More ADA decreases rewards volatility.

Step 2: Delegate Your Account

1. After registration, you'll see the Delegate option.

2. Delegate your account to a Stake Pool to earn rewards.

3. Delegation starts generating rewards within about 5 days (one epoch).

4. Select your stake pool validator from the provided options.

Tip: You maintain control of your assets. Changes in balance will alter your stake amount.

Step 3: View Rewards and Stake Info

• Your account page provides all staking information and reward details.

Step 4: Stake More ADA

1. After initial delegation, simply add more ADA to your account.

2. Be mindful of the 70M ADA per pool limit to avoid reward penalties.

3. Consider using multiple pools if needed.

Step 5: Withdraw Rewards

1. Rewards are available after each epoch.

2. Use the Withdraw transaction to move rewards to your available balance.

3. Ensure a non-zero withdrawable balance before initiating a transaction.

Security: Rewards will only be received on the account that initiated the registration.
