To earn rewards, simply delegate your stake to CoinCatcher and we will participate in network on your behalf. There will be no need to leave your coins at risk in an online wallet; they can be safely kept in cold storage in your own private wallet (such as a Ledger or Daedalus).

What is a staking pool?
ADA holders of are entitled to rewards for participating in the network, proportional to their balance. Unlike Bitcoin or proof-of-work systems, no specialist or extra hardware is needed; you simply need to run wallet software on a regular computer or laptop. However, this can be impractical for two reasons:
- it requires leaving your wallet connected at all times, and
- unless you have a very large amount of ADA, the rewards will be extremely infrequent.
