Staking with PUNKR

How to Stake Cardano

Staking ADA with PUNKR is simple and secure:

  • Transfer your ADA to a staking-compatible wallet like Eternl or Lace.
  • Visit a Cardano explorer like AdaStat or Cexplorer.
  • Choose a Stake Pool, such as PUNKR.
  • Stake pools are randomly selected to create blocks, about every 20 seconds. If chosen, it receives rewards.
  • Rewards are automatically added to your wallet about two epochs later. Withdrawal is possible at any time without cost.

Choosing a Stake Pool

With over 2,500 stake pools, selecting the right one matters. Consider these factors when choosing:

Protocol Factors:

  • Saturation: Pools closer to saturation may offer higher rewards, but avoid oversaturated pools to support decentralization.
  • Rank: Indicates potential rewards based on stake and saturation.
  • Live Stake: Percentage of total system stake.
  • Pool Margin: Low variable fee increases your rewards.
  • Pledge: A high pledge shows commitment to performance, and also increases rewards for stakers.
  • Cost per Epoch: Lowest possible fee is 170 ADA. A lower fee increases rewards to stakers.

  • Lowest possible fees, i.e. 0% variable fee and 170A fixed fee.
