01
What does Cardano staking do?
Delegation tells Cardano which pool should represent your stake. It does not transfer ADA to the operator. See the delegation steps.
Delegator education
Learn how Cardano staking works.
Understand delegation, custody, reward timing, fees, wallet safety, and how to evaluate Simba Pool [SIMBA] before you choose a stake pool.
Staking basics
Six questions to answer before delegating.
Each answer is short on purpose. Follow the linked verification pages when you need current pool data or a concrete next step.
02
How do staking rewards work?
Rewards depend on protocol parameters, pool performance, active stake, and epoch timing. They are not instant or guaranteed. Check live pool data.
03
What fees does a stake pool charge?
A pool has a percentage margin and a protocol fixed cost. Current SIMBA values come from live data and should be checked on the performance page.
04
How do I choose a stake pool?
Verify the pool ID, saturation, pledge, fees, performance, operator transparency, and governance posture. Start with SIMBA's claim ledger.
05
What keeps my wallet safe?
Never share a recovery phrase, private key, spending password, or wallet file. A stake-pool operator needs none of them. Read the safety FAQ.
06
Why does pool governance matter?
Cardano governance affects protocol direction. Delegators can inspect how an operator weighs security, decentralization, evidence, and accountability. Read SIMBA's principles.
How should I compare Cardano stake pools?
Use current data, confirm the full pool ID, and separate verifiable operating facts from estimated future returns. No single metric proves that a pool is the right fit.
