Staking mechanics
Stake activation time | 5-10 days (end of current epoch and one other) |
Stake lock-up time | Instant |
Re-delegating activation time | 5-10 days (end of current epoch and one other) |
Rewards frequency | First rewards: 2 epochs after stake is active (5-10 days + 10 days). Rewards frequency: beginning of every epoch (5 days). Last rewards: 3 epochs after the end of the unstaking epoch (15-20 days) |
Auto-compounding | Yes |
Self-bond | None |
Active set | None |
Slashing | No automated slashing currently implemented on Cardano. |
Relationship between validator stake balance and rewards | Almost linear. The more stake balance there is on the validator, the more rewards it will earn. Note that:

Staking workflow
What is the staking process? | The ADA wallet is delegated to a pool id and all the tokens contained inside this wallet are staked on the pool. The rewards go to the stake address of your wallet and must be withdrawn to receive them on your wallet. |
Do funds move out to another wallet? | No, ADAs never leave your wallet. Basically you keep the assets on your ada wallet and receive rewards on the stake address of your wallet. |
Can I keep staking/unstaking from/to the same wallet? | Yes, by transferring in and out tokens, you need to withdraw available rewards. |
Can I select how much of my wallet balance I want to stake? | All the ADA inside a delegated wallet are staked. All tokens in a delegated wallet are taken into account in the staked amount. |
Can I unstake part of the staked balance? | No, if you unstake it's the whole wallet. But you can transfer out of your wallet any amount of ADA to unstake a part of it. |
How is my balance computed at epoch N for the rewards distribution? | The balance computed at epoch N for the rewards distribution is the balance at the beginning of epoch N-2. |
