Your ADA can earn rewards
Delegate your ADA from ChatterPay and take part in the Cardano ecosystem. The funds stay in your wallet and you keep control of them.
How it works
Receive ADA
You receive ADA in your ChatterPay wallet, like any other token.
Automatic delegation
Wallets holding at least 5 ADA are delegated to a stake pool automatically.
Rewards
Cardano calculates rewards per epoch. You can check them from your dashboard.
You decide
You can turn staking off at any time from your dashboard.
How your ADA looks
Staking does not move your ADA out of your wallet. The balance is shown split into three parts.
Available ADA
The balance you can send or swap whenever you want. Delegating does not lock it.
Refundable deposit
Cardano holds a fixed deposit while the wallet is registered for staking. It comes back in full when you stop staking.
Rewards
What your delegation accrues. They are calculated per epoch and can be withdrawn once the network releases them.
Cardano governance
On Cardano, decisions about the protocol and the use of the treasury are voted on. The ADA you have delegated gives you voting power, and you exercise it by choosing where that power goes.
From ChatterPay you will be able to choose between abstaining, voting no confidence, or following a delegate representative (DRep). Registering as a representative and voting on each proposal yourself are not part of ChatterPay.
Delegating your ADA to a stake pool and delegating your voting power are two separate decisions: the pool produces blocks, the vote shapes governance.
Cardano requires the stake to have its voting power delegated before rewards can be withdrawn.
