  • How to undelegate/unstake?
    NB! You must participate in governance if you want to be able to withdraw your rewards. You can undelegate by going to the Staking dashboard inside your wallet and clicking either Withdraw or Undelegate.

  • How can I withdraw my staking rewards?
    You can withdraw your staking rewards by clicking on the WITHDRAW button next to the total rewards value on your Staking Dashboard. Note that you must participate in governance if you want to be able to withdraw your rewards.

  • How do I delegate/stake my ADA?
    To stake on Yoroi, you need to have a Shelley-era (now called Standard in Yoroi) wallet. If you already have one with some ADA in it, you should simply go to the Delegation List, pick a stake pool, and confirm delegation with your password/hardware wallet. If your pool performs well, you'll get the first rewards after three epochs (15-20 days) have passed since you joined the pool. Take a look at the delegation cycle explanation below to learn about the delay.  Delegationcycle.png (https://Some readers
  • When will I get my first rewards?
    Rewards are paid out later due to the Cardano delegation cycle. It takes three full epochs since joining a particular stake pool (15-20 days) to see your first rewards. For example, you've delegated in epoch n, then epochs n+1 to n+3 count as three full epochs and you'll get the first rewards at the beginning of epoch n+4. One epoch lasts 5 days.

  • Can I delegate my ADA using a hardware wallet?
    Yes, the process is the same as with a regular Yoroi wallet. The only difference is that you need to confirm it by connecting your hardware wallet.Few readers
  • How to choose a stake pool?
    When selecting a stake pool, there are key factors to consider. One crucial aspect involves parameters like Return on Assets (ROA) and variable cost. ROA, representing estimated rewards over a year of ADA staking, relies on the stake pool's previous epoch's block count and the variable cost set by the operator. With each epoch's first block, the operator earns a fixed cost (min. 170 ADA) ensuring proper node operation and network setup. Beyond this fixed cost, operators can apply aFew readers
  • What is delegation? Is it the same as staking?
    Delegation is the process by which ADA holders delegate their funds to a stake pool. It allows ADA holders that do not have the skills or desire to run a node to participate in the network and be rewarded in proportion to the amount of stake delegated. Staking usually refers to to the global state of all staked resources (from pools and from delegations) and delegating usually is used when describing specific functionality related to how users perform delegation and how it’s accounted.Few readers
  • Can you delegate other tokens built on Cardano?
    Currently the only consensus mechanism that has staking enabled is the ADA mainchain.Few readers
  • Do I need to withdraw my rewards to delegate them?
    No, the rewards you earn are automatically staked to your current pool as part of your delegation. The only time you may need to withdraw your rewards is when you’re moving all your funds to a different wallet/exchange.Few readers
  • I added more ADA to my wallet. Do I need to delegate again?
    No, any ADA you deposit into your wallet, as well as the rewards you earn, are automatically delegated to your current stake pool.Few readers
  • Are there any fees to delegate ADA?
    To use any blockchain network and Cardano as well, a small fee is charged to do a transaction. The fee amount depends on the size of the transaction. For more details follow this link. The amount is usually around 0.17 ADA. You will also pay a one-time deposit of 2 ADA for registering your staking key. This deposit will be refunded if you decide to deregister the staking key and undelegate theFew readers
  • What is the minimum ADA requirement to be able to delegate?
    You can delegate as little as 1 ADA (remember that you need to pay a 2 ADA deposit for registering your staking key and a 0.17 ADA transaction fee on top of that).Few readers
  • Do I miss rewards when changing pools?
    No. If you change delegation from Pool1 to Pool2, you still receive rewards from Pool1 until the reward schedule for Pool2 starts. If you’re changing to a different pool twice within an epoch, only the last change will be captured at the epoch snapshot.Few readers
  • Can I delegate to multiple pools?
    At the moment, you can delegate to one pool from one wallet. If you wish to delegate to multiple pools, you need to create multiple wallets.Few readers
