Staking Cardano (ADA) allows users to participate in the network’s proof-of-stake (PoS) mechanism while earning rewards. Unlike traditional mining, staking is energy-efficient and enables ADA holders to support the network securely.

Daedalus is a full-node wallet developed by IOHK, providing maximum security and decentralization.
