Step-by-Step: Stake ADA on Yoroi

1

Install Yoroi

Download and install Yoroi 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 Yoroi address. Double-check the network before sending.

3

Open the staking section

In Yoroi, 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.

4

Delegate and confirm

Enter the amount of ADA to stake and confirm the transaction. Rewards typically begin accruing in 1–2 epochs and compound automatically or are claimable from the same screen.
