Step 4 of 4
Automatic, every 5 days, straight to your wallet. First rewards after about 15–20 days.
Based on BRIAN's historical Lifetime ROS — an estimate, not a guarantee. Actual rewards depend on future block production and can be lower, higher, or absent in a given epoch.

A short primer on the protocol design that makes staking on Cardano work the way it does — each idea carried by one of the 45 monsters from the Ticker Arena.
Peer-reviewed, provably secure proof-of-stake consensus. Slot leaders are chosen pseudo-randomly, weighted by stake — no mining, no energy race, with security proven mathematically rather than assumed.
Builds on the proven UTXO ledger model and adds scripting on top. Every transaction's validity can be checked locally and deterministically before it's ever submitted — no global state required.
Smart contracts run in Plutus, built on Haskell. A functional, strongly-typed foundation was chosen deliberately, so core protocol components can be formally verified rather than just tested.
Time is split into 5-day epochs made up of 1-second slots. Stake distribution is snapshotted once per epoch — the reason staking rewards arrive with a multi-epoch delay, not instantly.
Under CIP-1694, on-chain governance power over protocol parameters and treasury spending is split between ADA holders, DReps, SPOs and a Constitutional Committee — no single party decides alone.
Proof-of-stake replaces energy-intensive mining with cryptographic, stake-weighted selection — using orders of magnitude less energy per transaction than proof-of-work chains.

No. Delegated ADA remains liquid and spendable at any time. Delegation only assigns your stake's weight to a pool — it does not lock or transfer your funds.
No minimum amount is required. You need enough ADA to cover the small one-time delegation transaction fee (about 0.17 ₳), the wallet's minimum UTXO requirement, and — only the first time you ever delegate — a refundable 2 ₳ stake-key deposit, returned when you deregister the key.
Yes, you can re-delegate to a different pool at any time by submitting a new delegation transaction from your wallet.
Rewards are calculated and distributed automatically every epoch (5 days) once your delegation becomes active, typically 15–20 days after you first delegate.
Cardano's protocol rewards decentralization: delegating to smaller, non-saturated pools helps keep the network healthy and can offer comparable long-term rewards to large pools.
