What is Staking?
In the Cardano ecosystem, staking your ADA (₳) is like putting your money into a checking account with a ~5% APY.
As opposed to traditional banks, in the DeFi (Decentralized Finance) world of Cardano, your money never actually leaves your wallet and is available to you at any time. With staking you can use your ADA to support the decentralization efforts.
When you stake with a pool (this is called delegation), the pool has an increased chance to participate in the transaction-generation (minting blocks). Minting blocks is rewarded with ADA. Those rewards go back to the pool operators and you, as incentive to help keep running the network.
Benefits of Staking with HAZEL
Staking in the Cardano Network means you use your funds to support a stakepool and earn ADA every five days as a return on your delegation. Here are even more reasons why you should stake with us:
Rewards
In addition to the 5% average ROA (Return on ADA) you get by staking with HAZEL pool, we have giveaways, NFT raffles and other rewards lined up for our trusted delegators!
Support Decentralization
By delegating to a Cardano stake pool you contribute to the security and decentralization of the network. You help us all to be more independent of corporate entities.
Your Funds are Safe
Unlike other Cryptocurrencies, staking with a Cardano pool does not lock your funds, nor does it transfer any ownership. The money never leaves your wallet and can be withdrawn at any time.
Animal Shelter Donations
We donate 25% of all pool rewards to cat and animal shelters. We are starting local and heading global! Proof of donations will be available on the website, so you know we put our money (and time) where our felines are.
Foster Program Development
In addition to doing our work as foster parents, we work with the one-of-a-kind cat shelter Cat Adoption Team to improve and share knowledge and courses across the country with respect to establishing good foster programs. The pool rewards allow us to continue doing this and to build an app for foster parents to easily communicate with their shelters.
Cute Kittens
Hang out with fellow cat friends and delegators in our Discord and Telegram channels. A supportive environment to share your crypto and kitty stories!
Either way, you should follow @hazelkittens to get live foster updates and photos 😸
