Cardano Whales Quietly Fueling 65% ADA Rally This Year, According to Blockchain Analytics Firm Santiment

Sorry for the inconvenience, ADA deposit and withdrawal are currently under maintenance. Here's the [announcement](https://www.kucoin.com/news/en-deposit-and-withdrawal-services-of-cardano-chain-ada-temporarily-closed-230202).

"... suspended for this public blockchain" ADA?

I don't have a big cardano following as I am relatively new to ADA having moved here from other chains but I started a generative collection that I am slow releasing instead of a "mint website".
Every 5 sales I drop 50 more NFTs, every 10 sales I give away 1 rare to the buyers of those 10, and every 100 sales I gift away a legendary. There will be 5550 in all - 5000 standard, 500 rare, and 50 legendary.
Unlike most projects there will not be a "mint" but rather something different and unique where holders earn ADA. You can read about that on the website [https://dragoncaves.art](https://dragoncaves.art)
I am also working on a text based chose your own adventure game where you earn coins as your progress through the game (or you could earn nothing depending how the game play goes).
The collection is cute and friendly and designed similar to the old tv show dragon tales making it great for parents with small kids to start getting children involved - but I certainly welcome everyone of all ages.
More details about the project will be released over time. I don't use timeline based roadmaps as missed deadlines always creates FUD and I want to keep things lighthearted and fun but there is a lot planned if I can garner up support for the project.
Originally 50 were listed. Then 5 were sold and 50 more were listed, and then one more was sold.
As I am not well known in cardano it will take time but I am here for the long haul.

Nice, literally scooping up a decent bag of ADA as we speak.

Not sure, but looking at the wingriders DEX, the ADA/SHEN pool has an APR of 12.575% (without farming), which is quite high! Perhaps they factored the rewards already into this number?

I bought some more ADA with this dip 🚀

I would not trade ADA for a LP token. I don't understand completely how it works but I would like to use a ADA - DJED swap without LP tokens.

I'm personally not interested in wrapped coins being used to stabilize or back anything. DJED is already using ADA to peg to the dollar...not really sure why we would want a derivative pegged against the dollar used as a reserve. Enlighten me if I'm missing something please.

I'm probably gonna get hate for this but I think DEXes are immature. I prefer staking. I mean... we're talking about space kittens and milking cows; turning that milk into a voucher that turns into cheese. It's the cheese you want because you get ADA for the cheese. No thanks.

If there's nothing at risk, how's that a proof of stake? I don't understand how it's staking to delegate to someone else.. Voting for a politician doesn't mean that I'm working after all.
How big is the APR difference if I stake with ~1002 ADA vs a couple of million? Because I don't have a couple of million, and I don't want to stake in one of Binance's 30 full pools either. Is it feasable to solo stake? What's the penalty if I make an error and I'm in control of a full pool?
I've been so put off by dPOS, but if I can do it as POS I'd actually like to get involved.

Minswap has the nicest UI and the most volume, therefore more fees going to liquidity providers, but the system for handling ADA staking rewards isn't the best (somewhat depends on if you prefer claiming rewards directly or having them automatically compounded into the pool). Not convinced about the tokenomics of the MIN token.
WingRiders has automatic compounding of ADA staking rewards into the pools but less volume. WRT tokenomics are better than MIN.
MuesliSwap has their dex aggregator which is good, but I find the orderbook model less convenient than the AMM model and I don't like the earning Myield to stake for 30 days to earn MILK tokens system.

Yes you can solo stake in Cardano, you need 500ADA to register your pool and 2 ADA to register the stake key.
However to get consistent rewards every epoch you would need a couple of million ADA.
If you can convince others to delegate to you or pool, this isn't impossible, but bear in mind there are over 2,000 independent pool operators already so standing out from the crowd isn't easy.
Delegating to someone else's pool is risk free though, you just need the 2ADA to register your staking key. Staked ADA never leaves your wallet, there are no lockups, no smart contract risks, no 3rd party token risks etc. It's pure native liquid staking, ADA delivered directly to your wallet every 5 days.

Yes , easy route for staking ADA

I was staking my ADA on Yoroi for about a year, and I did not withdraw my rewards, they got delegated automatically. Now when I check my wallet, it says I haven't started delegating yet, and the pool is gone. Did I also lose my rewards, or were they added to my balance when the pool went down? I do not remember how much I ahd in rewards, that's why I am asking.

I'll probably just export to one of the newer ADA wallets at some stage, saves making a new one.
But, no intentions of selling, just letting it stake

Low risk, moderate returns:
Buy BTC and ETH and wait a few years.
Moderate risk, moderate to high returns:
Buy BTC, ETH and a few other top ten cryptos (ADA, XRP, MATIC) and wait a couple of years.
High risk, huge returns:
Split a few hundred dollars between low to mid fap projects after researching them and hope for the best, take some profits as soon as you can whilst still keeping a bag.

Somebody else staking ADA on Yoroi? 😁
