Jump on YouTube, watch some videos, you can become your own Hero and with a little more curiosity, even “Hulk Smash!” your Cardano Staking to the moon!
What is Staking and are Cardano Stake Pools Safe?
Staking is the new sustainable way of securing the blockchain and earning passive income for holding certain cryptocurrencies.
Cardano is a proof-of-stake (POS) blockchain, Staking Cardano involves delegating responsibility of your ADA tokens to a Cardano Stake Pool so they can validate transactions, secure the blockchain and produce new blocks. In return the delegators are rewarded with Ada, the native cryptocurrency token of Cardano. New Ada Staking rewards are earned without moving or losing your Cardano (Ada) tokens.
You can stop staking your Cardano at any time and you will not need to wait to unlock or spend your ADA tokens.
Cardano relies on delegators taking part in securing the blockchain by Staking, this process has been designed to be very secure. Cardano Staking involves no more risk than simply holding Ada in a wallet. The only real risk is losing the wallet’s private key, which is a risk with all cryptocurrencies regardless of whether or not Staking is involved. Only ever use official Cardano wallet’s to Stake Ada such as Yorio or Daedalus.
“Service to others is the rent we pay for our room here on Earth”
How to choose the Best Cardano Stake Pool in 2025
The cryptocurrency landscape is extremely volatile and forever changing. Avoid Staking your Cardano (Ada) with any cryptocurrency exchanges that hold your Cardano (Ada) tokens whilst they stake as crypto exchanges can get hacked, get shutdown by the authorities or even do a rug pull and disappear into the sunset with all your Cardano and Staking rewards. Crypto exchanges do not contribute to decentralisation in a meaningful way, are not regulated and are not obligated to compensate your loss. They also charge a high fee which eats into your return on stake (ROS).
To summarise: Always Win-Win! Choose any non-saturated Cardano Staking Pool that you are drawn to, especially if the Stake Pool gives back to society, has the lowest pool fee 0.00%, has the lowest epoch fee of 170 Ada and the Net ROS after fees is very close, or higher than 3%. There’s no reason we can’t all win together.
Fun Fact 1: At the time of writing, according to the data on Pooltool.io, out of the 3000 Plus Cardano Stake Pools registered on the network, only 32 Stake Pools have “100% Assigned Performance”, which means only 32 Pools have been online 100% of the time they have been nominated to mint a block by the Cardano protocol. This is a reliability metric. The Best Pool Ever is one of those 32 Stake Pools. You can count on us to take care of your Ada. Additionally only 17 of the 32 Stake Pools have the lowest pool fee of 0.00% and only 14 of those Stake Pools have the lowest epoch fee of 170 Ada.
Fun Fact 2: There are over 3000 Cardano Stake Pools securing the Cardano network. The Cardano Staking Protocol initially returned an annualised ROS or yield of around 6% and now it only returns a yield of around 3% by design. Avoid looking at the “Lifetime ROS” as this figure is now misleading as it is slowly averaging the “Lifetime ROS” down from 6% to 3% for older Stake Pools. Older Cardano Stake Pools may look like they are returning an ROS of over 4% when in reality, the new ROS will be very close to 3%. All newer Cardano Stake Pools will be reporting on a “Lifetime ROS” average, closer to or below 3% already. Look at the “1 Monthly ROS” or “2 Monthly ROS” figures on www.pooltool.io for the Cardano Stake Pool stats instead. (You will need to search for a Cardano Stake Pool on Pooltool.io using the Pool Explorer, then make it a favourite by hearting it , then click on the Pooltool Home button to compare and see the “1 Monthly ROS” or “2 Monthly ROS” stats for all the Cardano Stake Pools you hearted).
Don’t worry too much about the Cardano Stake Pool rankings in your wallet, this is not a good indication of performance or return. The Cardano Stake Pools that started early, attracted a high number of delegation, so are now ranked high, however due to the high Stake Pool fees, any gains are quickly negated.
The very best performing Cardano Stake Pools return a real ROS close to around 3%. However these same Cardano Stake Pools are usually saturated, charge a high fee between 1% to 2% or even charge a sneaky epoch fee that’s higher than the minimum 170 Ada, whereby negating any real benefit above 3%.
It’s better to find a small Cardano Stake Pool that gives a real ROS around or very close to 3%, has a 0.00% Pool fee and also has the lowest epoch fee allowable by the Cardano Staking Protocol, which is 170 Ada. Smaller Cardano Stake Pools have less people to share the block minting rewards with, which means you get a bigger slice of the Ada rewards.
The Cardano foundation state that over a long period of times, all the Cardano Stake Pools will perform about the same and the differentiating factors will be Pool and epoch fees.
Don’t worry about the “Pledge” amount, it has very little effect on the rewards and is completely negated when a Cardano Stake Pool Operator charges a fee.
In short, any Net ROS (return on stake) very close to or above 3%, after the Cardano Stake Pool fees are taken is extremely good as long as its not a new Cardano Stake Pool. The stats for a newly registered Cardano Stake Pool with a small delegation is skewed as they might mint 1 or 2 blocks quickly and then not mint another block for 6 months because they don’t have enough delegation.
“Everyone can be great because everyone can Stake Cardano”
What are the Cardano Stake Pool fees in 2025?
There are two types of fees in a Cardano Stake Pool, the epoch fee and Pool fee.
There is a minimum 170 Ada epoch fee, the lowest epoch fee allowable by the Cardano Staking Protocol, some Stake Pool Operators choose to set the epoch fee to 340 Ada or higher so watch out for this. There’s also the Pool fee (also known as Pool Margin) which is set by the Stake Pool Operator. An epoch lasts 5 days.
The Best Cardano Stake Pool “fee” or “Pool Margin” is 0.00%, the lowest fee allowable by the Cardano Staking Protocol and we will keep it this way for life. We want you to earn the highest reward possible and create a win-win situation for all.
Every epoch, the rewards are distributed to a Stake Pool and then divided to all the delegates in proportion to their total Ada delegation.
A Stake Pool Operator can change the epoch fee or Stake Pool fee at any time without warning so always keep an eye on your chosen Stake Pool.
“I Love Cardano 3000”
What is Cardano Stake Pool Saturation?
Cardano Pool saturation is a term used to indicate that a particular Stake Pool has more ADA stake delegated to it than is ideal for the network from a security point of view.
You can still delegate to a saturated Stake Pool but you will not earn more rewards. The rewards are capped by the Cardano Staking Protocol and the capped rewards will be shared between even more delegators leaving you with less rewards. It’s not a good idea to delegate to a saturated Stake Pool, not even one with a 0.00% Pool fee.
What is the Lowest Cardano Staking or Margin fee?
Realistically, it is now economically sustainable for the Best Cardano Stake Pool and other Stake Pools to set a Stake Pool fee of 0.00% and maintain good hardware as long as the Stake Pool is minting blocks. This was not always the case, especially in the early pioneering days when the price of Ada was just 9 cents.
The Best Cardano Stake Pool has the lowest Stake Pool fees of 0.00% as we want everyone to win-win, so this should not be seen as “not serious”. There are many in the Cardano community that would happily run a 0.00% Stake Pool, just for fun. It’s what geeks do.
These days it is sustainable to run an established Cardano Stake Pool with the lowest Stake Ppool fees in the Cardano Staking community (0.00% Pool fees) as the 170 Ada (epoch fee), the Stake Pool Operator receives is a nice incentive and with enough time, will still allow us to carry out our mission and build water wells.
What is the Lowest Cardano Epoch fee?
The Best Cardano Stake Pool will always have the lowest staking fees and provide the best possible value to everyone that participates in Staking Cardano as we want to create a win-win situation for all.
When Cardano Staking was first launched, the lowest Cardano epoch fees that the protocol would allow a Stake Pool Operator to set was 340 Ada. From epoch 445 (27th of October 2023), the Cardano protocol now allows a Stake Pool Operator to set the lowest Cardano epoch fee to just 170 Ada. The Best Cardano Stake Pool will always have the lowest epoch fee (170 Ada) and we will always have the lowest fees available. The lowest Staking fees will help maximise your Staking rewards.
The Best Cardano Stake Pool will always have your back and will always adjust the Staking Pool Fee metrics in your favour.
“Heroes help, save, protect, and make the world better by Staking Cardano”
What is Cardano Stake Pool Pledge?
Pledge has several uses in Cardano, Pledge allows Stake Pool Operators a way to delegate their own Ada to their Stake Pool, it can also go some way towards the Stake Pool Operator demonstrating that they have skin in the game and commitment. Demonstrating skin in the game was a “thing” during the early days of Staking, however not these days. All Stake Pool Operators have skin in the game.
Stake Pool Operators may opt to pledge some or all of their stake to make their Stake Pool more attractive.
The Pledge also has other uses however a low pledge does not indicate less commitment. In reality it’s very difficult to setup a Cardano Stake Pool and it’s not possible for a Stake Pool Operator to steal your Ada through the delegation mechanism in any of the official wallets. Your Ada can only be stolen, if you transfer it due to a scam or someone has your wallet recovery keys or the crypto exchange holding your crypto gets compromised.
It should be noted that any crypto exchange that holds your Ada whilst they Stake for you can disappear into the sunset with your Ada if they get shutdown, hacked, or do a rug pull.
Will the Ada reward I earn be added to my delegated Cardano Stake?
Yes. Ada Staking rewards earned are added to your original Stake.
When your Ada rewards are received, the balance of your Ada reward account will also increase, therefore your delegated Stake will increased.
Will Cardano Staking ever end?
Staking Ada is a fundamental part of securing the Cardano blockchain, it will always work. It is currently funded by the Cardano treasury however, eventually it will be funded entirely by network transaction fees
“Cardano Staking Forever”
Can you Stake ADA in more than one Stake Pool?
You can Stake Cardano to more than one Cardano Stake Pool. You will need to setup additional accounts or wallets and send Ada between accounts so you can delegate Ada to different Stake Pools. In the future you will be able to Stake your Ada to different Cardano Stake Pools from within the same official Cardano wallet.
Where do Cardano Staking rewards come from?
Cardano has a fixed supply and a portion of that supply is reserved for the staking rewards pot. Each epoch, the transaction fees and 0.3% of the remaining Ada reserves are put into this pot. 20% of the pot reserve is sent to the Cardano treasury to support development through the Catalyst voting process and 80% is used as staking rewards. Over time, the transaction fees will become the main source of the staking rewards.
Is my Ada locked during Staking?
Your ADA is never locked during Staking on Cardano and your ADA is never moved away from your wallet.
The ADA staking mechanism on Cardano’s network does not lock assets at all. Users have full rights to use the assets in their wallets whenever and wherever they want.
How often does Cardano Staking Pay Out?
Your Cardano Ada rewards are paid out every epoch, an epoch lasts 5 days. The very first time you Stake your Ada, the rewards are paid with a 25 day delay. After the first payout, future payouts are every 5 days like clockwork.
“Cardano Staking, like the sea, has a way of bringing people together.”
What are the cons or drawbacks of Staking Cardano?
There are no real drawbacks to Staking Cardano Ada tokens on official Cardano wallets like Yorio or Daedalus. Your Ada stays safe inside your own wallet and you only delegate the power of your Ada balance to the Stake Pool Operator to secure the network in exchange for Ada rewards. You are free to move or spend your Ada balance at any time and your Ada is never locked like with other cryptocurrencies.
Staking Cardano Ada tokens on crypto exchanges or from non-official wallets can be extremely risky. Crypto exchanges can get hacked, get taken down by authorities or a crypto exchange can do a rug pull and disappear with all your Ada as they hold everything. Non-official wallets can be compromised due to poor coding practises or be designed with backdoors to enable a future internal hack or rug pull. Only ever Stake your Ada from one of the official Cardano wallets.
What is the Best and Safest way to Stake Cardano?
Only ever Stake Cardano from one of the official Cardano wallets downloaded from an official Cardano source. For most people this will mean Staking on the Yorio Mobile light weight wallet from your mobile phone as you can take your Ada (Cardano) with you wherever you go and the blockchain will always be fully synced and ready to use.
Yorio also has browser extensions for popular web browsers to make it easier to Stake from a computer by integrating the wallet directly into the web browser. This maybe ok for some, however for many it poses a significant risk as computers are easier to hack and get compromised and its harder to travel with a computer.
Daedalus is an alternative full node wallet that requires you to sync the entire blockchain (120+GB and growing) on your computer and keep it fully synced before you can use it. This takes a long time, sometimes you want to trade or check your balance and don’t want to wait a long time or free up disk space for the blockchain to sync.

Is it safe to Stake Cardano on a Crypto Exchange?
Cryptocurrencies where invented to make the world a better and equal place for all. Cardano was built with a massive focus on decentralisation, to provide people with financial freedom, independence and to cut out the middlemen. Crypto exchanges are middlemen, profit oriented, centralised companies that will not do business for free or for the common good. If you want to follow and support the Cardano cryptocurrency philosophy then do not Stake Ada tokens on crypto exchanges.
Crypto exchanges have been known to manipulate prices, so never forget that your Staking decision influences the wealth and wellbeing of other Cardano (Ada) holders.
Staking Cardano (Ada) with an independent Cardano Stake Pool Operator is the safest way to Stake Cardano and involves no risk on the delegators part, the worst that can happen is you receive no Staking rewards. When you stake with an independent Cardano Stake Pool Operator, you alone hold the recovery keys to your Cardano Ada tokens. If you own the keys the Ada tokens are yours.
Staking Cardano on a Crypto exchange may or may not be safe in the long run as not all crypto exchanges are equal.
To Stake on an crypto exchange you generally need to have the crypto exchange hold your Cardano which means they hold the recovery keys and technically own your Cardano. If the crypto exchange gets hacked or does a rug pull and we have seen cases where owners of the crypto exchange disappeared together with the tokens that they had been holding on the crypto exchange.
When you stake with a crypto exchange, the exchange holds the recovery keys to your Cardano Ada tokens. If the exchange holds the keys, the Ada tokens are not yours.
“Not your keys, not your coins!”
Crypto exchanges are not regulated and often not even run from regulated jurisdictions which can increase the probability of consumer harm. The USA regulators (SEC) are going after the big crypto exchanges like Binance and Coinbase so your assets could get frozen. Your Cardano is also generally locked whilst you Stake on a crypto exchange but is not locked when you Stake from an official Cardano Wallet.
To summarise: Do not stake your Cardano Ada tokens on crypto exchanges as this undermines decentralisation by supporting centralised services. Only use cryptocurrency exchanges to buy / sell Cardano (Ada) and always Stake your Ada with an independent Stake Pool Operator that love the Cardano philosophy. This is the best way to support Cardano and help the world work better for all.

How does Cardano Work?
Cardano is a next generation blockchain platform that aims to provide a more secure, scalable, and sustainable infrastructure for the development of decentralised applications (dApps) and smart contracts.
One of the key features of Cardano is its use of a layered architecture, which separates the settlement layer from the computation layer. The settlement layer, known as Cardano Settlement Layer (CSL), handles the accounting and transfer of the ADA cryptocurrency, while the computation layer, known as Cardano Computation Layer (CCL), focuses on executing smart contracts and running dApps. This separation allows for greater flexibility and scalability, as different layers can be updated and improved independently without disrupting the entire system.
Cardano also employs a proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism called Ouroboros, which ensures the security and efficiency of the network by selecting slot leaders to validate transactions as opposed to the energy-intensive proof-of-work system currently used by Bitcoin and older blockchains.
Additionally, Cardano has a strong emphasis on research and peer-reviewed academic work, aiming to bring scientific rigor to the development process and ensure the platform’s long-term viability.
How do I mine Cardano in 2025?
Cardano cannot be mined in the way that other, older first-generation cryptocurrencies can. Instead, it must be purchased then staked with a Cardano Stake Pool to earn additional free Ada (Cardano). Always choose a Cardano Stake Pool with the lowest fees to maximise your Staking rewards.
What is Cardano Midnight?
Midnight is a 4th generation cryptocurrency platform that uses zero-knowledge cryptography.
Midnight is a data protection-based blockchain that safeguards sensitive commercial and personal data, protecting freedoms, commerce, developers, companies, and individuals.
Midnight will enable developers to quickly build and deploy data protection-first DApps using many programming languages, starting with Typescript, whilst companies will be able to share mission-critical information without the fear of leaks or censorship. Individuals will be able to safely share their sensitive information when operating in a connected world.
How do I get Cardano Midnight Airdrop Tokens?
The only way to get free Cardano Midnight Airdrop tokens is by staking with a Cardano Stake Pool that supports Midnight.
The Best Cardano Pool will fully support Midnight the moment it is released for production.
Important Note: Crypto Exchanges may not support Midnight and even if some did, they may not give you the Airdrop tokens so get your Ada off the exchanges and onto a Stake Pool that cares about the Cardano ecosystem
What is USDM on Cardano?
USDM is a 1:1 fully fiat-backed stablecoin, it’s a revolution in digital asset management on the Cardano blockchain. Designed to be stable, transparent, and efficient, USDM bridges the gap between traditional fiat currencies and the decentralised world of blockchain.

Staking Pre-requisite
Participation in Cardano Staking is initiated from your Yorio or Daedalus wallet and your ADA never leaves your wallet.
If you currently hold your ADA on a crypto exchange then download the Yorio or Daedalus wallet from the Cardano website and transfer your ADA from the crypto exchange into your wallet.
For most users Yorio will be easier.
Do NOT Stake Ada on Crypto Exchanges, Cardano was built for freedom!
Staking Cardano 2025
If you already have your ADA in one of the official ADA wallets, then go to the delegation section of the wallet and browse the available stake pools. Look for the Cardano Stake Pool with the Ticker "BPE" and assign us the delegation rights.
Your ADA will not leave your wallet, the Cardano Staking Protocol only assigns us the delegation rights to create blocks on your behalf. You will need to wait 20 days to be enrolled into Staking from the moment you delegate your Stake, then another 5 days (one epoch) for the first Staking cycle to complete in order to earn Ada rewards. This means you should start receiving your Ada rewards 25 days after Starting to Stake and then every 5 days after that like clockwork.
