Step-by-Step: Stake ADA on Lace

1

Install Lace

Download and install Lace from its official site. Set up a new wallet or import an existing seed phrase, and back up your recovery phrase securely.

2

Fund the wallet with ADA

Buy ADA on an exchange (Coinbase, Kraken, Binance) and withdraw to your Lace address. Double-check the network before sending.

3

Open the staking section

In Lace, navigate to the staking or earn tab for Cardano. Pick a validator — look for low commission, long uptime, and avoid the top validator to support decentralization.
