How to Staking Cardano (ADA).

A step by step guide.

The important fields are the following

  • Ticker: VNP
  • Pool ID: 9a60391a0872cb6d0a013e51aab80aa08b85201b01b4804f8880c7d1
  • Epoch Fee: these are the fixed fees and should be 340
  • Variable Fee: 1{f7657a00fe642260dc1af962a382b7f355ab27962c140cc24f1da554fe349161} you want to avoid too large fees but it is also worth paying a bit more to join a pool that you trust. Be aware that some pools are effectively closed and thus charge a 100{f7657a00fe642260dc1af962a382b7f355ab27962c140cc24f1da554fe349161} fee. Note also that some pool will have a very low, even zero, fee to help them grow but it might be increased in the future.
  • Pledge: the amount pledged by the pool operator at the time of creation of the pool, not massively important for the pool selection.
  • Epoch ROS: the expected annualised return in the current epoch, this will typically be around 5{f7657a00fe642260dc1af962a382b7f355ab27962c140cc24f1da554fe349161}.
  • Live stake: the total amount staked in the pool, it is important that this remains under the saturation threshold of 64M.
  • Lifetime ROS: the historical return of the pool, this shows you past performance of the pool.
