What is staking?
Staking (or delegating) is similar to putting your money into a bank account, and as a thank you the bank pays you interest for doing so (or at least they used to). Your delegated ADA allows the Cardano network to run.
How to stake?
1. Buy ADA from an
exchange
To Purchase ADA, go to any exchange sign up and verify your account.
3. TRANSFER ADA TO YOUR
WALLET
Transfer your ADA from your exchange account to your wallets.
4. Delegate your ADA to the Upstream pool
Search for [UPSTR] in the delegation centre, you will need your spending password!

What do you get for staking?
Your staking reward
You receive an average 5% APY on your staked ADA. Once your ADA is staked in the Upstream pool you receive your rewards directly to your wallet every 5 days. It’s totally safe and secure, because only you know your wallet keys, as always only you have access to your ADA.
