Cardano Staking FAQ
Cardano’s native token, ADA will be staked to capture new issuance rewards and fee revenue.
You can unstake your ADA tokens anytime. You have full control of your ADA tokens even when they are staked and they are never locked.
Rewards are distributed every epoch (~5 days) amongst all stakeholders that have delegated to a stake pool, either to their own stake pool or another pool.
You maintain custody of your ADA at all times. There is no bonding or unbonding period.
In short: up to 48 hours.
From the moment you initiate the unbonding process, it takes up to 48 hours (4 epochs) to unstake. During this time you will not earn rewards. When the process is complete, you can transfer/trade your NEAR tokens.
No. Currently, Cardano does not enforce slashing. However, poor node behavior can lead to missed rewards.
Staking rewards are staked automatically, which means you will need to unstake your tokens to withdraw your staking rewards.
There’s a maximum supply of 45 billion ADA with a current circulation of approximately 31 billion.
