Stake Cardano ADA

Stake Cardano Ada

When you choose to stake your Ada with us they remain secure in your wallet. This means we do not have access to your private keys or passwords, and will never request this information. Therefore at any time of your choosing you can cease staking (or delegating) to the ADV stake pool, and they return to your control.

Staking is supported by Daedalus and Yoroi. In Yoroi you will need to use the PoolID shown in the footer. Using Daedalus simply select the delegation tab, and search for the Pool Ticker ADV. Please check the details match as shown below.

Rewards and fees

Rewards for pool owners and delegators are calculated at the end of each 5 day Epoch, and paid at the end of the following Epoch.

After pool rewards have been calculated and adjusted for pool performance, they are distributed amongst the pool operator and the people who delegated stake to the pool. This happens in several steps:

• First, the fixed fee (340₳) is subtracted from the total rewards and given to the pool operator.
• Next, the declared margin (0.99%) is subtracted and given to the pool operator.
• Finally the remainder is split fairly (proportional to delegated stake), amongst all people who staked Cardano Ada to the pool, including the pool owners.

Please note ADAvault charges the minimum permitted fixed fee. Our variable fee is among of the lowest available and is guaranteed to never increase.

Full details on fee calculations are available from the Cardano Foundation site , and you can use the online calculator to help determine your likely rewards.

Performance

Stake pool performance continues to follow statistical levels,  minting 92% of expected blocks over the last 10 Epochs. Expected blocks are based on stake per Epoch, with the distribution for Epoch 225 below:

The specific pool performance over recent Epochs (actual/expected) was:

Percentage rewards depend upon pool availability, and are proportionate to total stake. While there will be some random variation in blocks minted per Epoch, they average over time for pools producing expected blocks to around 5% ROA. When the amount staked reaches saturation (currently around 200M Ada), the percentage rewards per delegator decline.

This means that ADAvault is producing a stable and predictable return for our delegators, with a stake pool return that is near the top of the theoretical annual return within the Cardano System.
