Frequently Asked Questions

What is Cardano Staking?

Staking Cardano is when a user delegates their ADA to a stake pool on the Cardano network. Their ADA never leaves their wallet, and it is not locked up so it is still free to be used at anytime by the owner for whatever they want.

These stake pools produce the blocks for the Cardano blockchain and by delegating to a stake pool you earn passive rewards when the pool you delegate to produces a block. You also help increase the decentralization of the Cardano network.

How to Store Cardano?

To store ADA you simply send that ADA to the receiving address generated by your Cardano wallet. You can generate a new receiving address for every incoming transaction to your wallet, this allows you to preserve your privacy as each address only registers the transactions sent to it.

All receiving addresses generated are associated with your wallet and your wallet will reflect the balance of all used receiving addresses. You can reuse receiving addresses but this reduces the privacy because anyone can see what transactions have been received by that address.
