FAQ

1. How often are staking rewards distributed?

Rewards are distributed per epoch (5 days).

2. Does higher pledge mean better returns?

Not always—pledge impacts pool priority but not direct delegator rewards.

3. Can I unstake ADA immediately?

Yes, but rewards stop upon unstaking.

4. What’s the minimum ADA to stake?

No minimum, but transaction fees apply.

5. How do variable fees work?

A percentage of rewards taken by the pool operator (e.g., 2–5%).
