ADA held on the Cardano network represents a user’s stake in the protocol, the size of which is proportional to the amount of ada held.

Users who hold a stake in Cardano can earn passive rewards for validating blocks. The amount of rewards they can earn is proportional to the amount of ada they pledge or delegate to a stake pool.

Staking is a way for delegators to earn a passive income each time a block is forged by the pool they are staking with. It is important to note that this passive income comes on top of capital gains achieved through ADA price appreciation.

Staking is 100% safe as your ADA never ever leave your wallet. In other terms, staking on Cardano is non-custodial unlike other Proof of Stake (PoS) blockchains.

Consequently you remain in full control of your tokens at all times: they are not locked in any shape or form and you can use them at any time.

As Cardano is a Proof of Stake (PoS) blockchain, owning ADA not only allows you to buy goods or services, but also grants you the right and obligation to participate in the protocol.

Staking is a mechanism inherent in the Ouroboros protocol that allows it to scale even in a setting where the set of stakeholders might be highly fragmented.

By delegating your ADA to a stake pool operator, you support the secure decentralization of Cardano's blockchain infrastructure, support the vision to build a fair future of mass participation without the need for a central authority, and last but not least, you contribute actively to the good health of the Cardano network and community.

Stake Pool Operators (SPOs) are responsible for processing transactions that will be placed in the ledger, as well as producing new blocks. As such SPOs are at the core of the Ouroboros protocol.

To be secure, Ouroboros requires a good number of stake pools to be online and maintain sufficiently good network connectivity at any given time.

Single Pool Operators strive to increase the number of stake pools available to secure Cardano's network and to reduce the stake concentration effect that occurs when only a few entities control a large percentage of all stakes available.

Our ambition is to create compelling content that will educate, inform and inspire others to get into Cardano as investors or as developers to help build new utilities on Cardano.

For our Educational content we will be using 2 channels: Medium and Youtube.
