CARDANO, EXPLAINEDWhat does staking
What does staking
with Lace mean?
Cardano uses proof of stake. In a wallet, staking generally means delegating your ADA to a stake pool. Delegation helps participate in the network while your ADA remains in your wallet; it is not the same as sending funds to a pool operator.
Wallet features, reward timing, fees, and pool performance can change. Read the current in-wallet information and Cardano documentation before choosing a pool. Rewards are not guaranteed.

Your ADA stays yours.
Delegation assigns stake to a pool without transferring ownership of your ADA. Learn the rules and terms before you participate.

SECURITY, WITHOUT THE JARGONYour phrase.
Your phrase.
Your responsibility.
A few careful habits go a long way when you’re using a self-custody wallet.
Never share your recovery phrase
No legitimate support agent needs your phrase. Anyone who gets it may be able to control the wallet.
Check every URL and permission
Visit sites directly, review connection requests, and avoid approving anything you do not understand.
Read transaction details carefully
Confirm the network, destination, and amounts on the wallet screen before signing a transaction.
Keep your browser and device current
Use trusted devices, install updates, and beware of unsolicited “support” messages and download links.
