Staking your Cardano (ADA) is a great way to earn passive rewards while contributing to the security and decentralization of the Cardano blockchain . In this guide, we will walk you through the process of staking ADA securely using Ledger Live with Myrmidon Staking.

Why Stake Cardano (ADA)?

Cardano operates on a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism, which means that instead of mining, ADA holders can participate in the network by delegating their ADA to a staking pool

By doing so, you:

1) Earn Cardano (ADA) through staking rewards, increasing your holdings over time.

2) Help secure and decentralize the Cardano blockchain network.

3) Maintain full control over your funds, as your ADA never leaves your wallet, since Myrmidon Staking is a non-custodial staking service provider.

What You Need Before Staking

Before you begin, ensure you have the following:

✅ A Ledger hardware wallet (Nano S Plus, Nano X, Stax or Flex)

✅The Ledger Live app installed and updated on your computer

✅ Some Cardano (ADA) tokens in your wallet

✅ A small amount of ADA to cover transaction fees
