Staking

No lock-ups. No slashing. No liquid staking derivatives.

Simply staking. Simply Cardano.

Cardano is a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) network. By staking your ADA you help to contribute to the security of the network and this participation may be rewarded should your chosen pool validate blocks. Cardano staking never requires locking of funds and holders are free to move whenever they want to.

Governance

Your ADA, your voice.

Following the arrival of full on-chain governance on Cardano, ADA holders get to have their say on the future development of the network. Either by registering to vote themselves, or delegating to someone to do so on their behalf. Voting members are known as delegated representatives or “DReps”.
