Why Stake with Us?

It’s a very valid question. We hope to provide an equally valid answer. Let’s start with what we are NOT. We are not a sugar fed, crypto farming conglomerate shilling pools for every token under the sun, trying to materialize cartoon hotdog NFT riches out of digital air all while waiting to pump and dump the next “sure thing” meme token. Not in the least.

What we ARE is a team (and by team I mean two dudes) that is laser focused on one singular task. You see, we do one thing (Cardano) and do one thing good…running the hell out of the PERK1 stake pool and, well…that’s it. Hard stop. End of sales pitch. Sure, we could go on and hit you with some deep social change Cardano mission statement (which we DO 100% believe in) or whip out the size of our servers and brag of their prowess and power but at the end of the day, lets face it…it’s about trust. In choosing your ADA delegation you’re making a mostly blind leap in entrusting your ADA with a faceless stake pool. You are also hoping they filled the plane with gas, packed your parachute and that the pilot is mostly sober. When the doors fly open know we are NOT the guys 10,000 feet below squinting up into the sun but we are your hyped up wing man strapped to your back ready to make this jump WITH you. We would be honored if you chose PERK1 for this exhilarating plunge into the exciting future of the Cardano blockchain and the millions standing strong to support it. STAKE ON!

HOW TO STAKE

PURCHASE ADA

In order to start staking you need to own ADA, the native token of the Cardano blockchain. If you already own ADA, congratulations! You can skip ahead to Step 2, if not…read on.

Most people buy ADA through well known exchanges. There are many, many different exchanges that sell Cardano (ADA). Some of the more well known ones include Kraken, Binance, Coinbase, Bybit and Phemex just to name a few. Also be aware that there are country restrictions on which exchange you can use based on what country you live in.  Please do your own research to see what works for you and what exchange is legal to purchase from in your country.

DOWNLOAD a Cardano Wallet

Next you will need to download a software wallet. This is where you will store your ADA when you remove it from the exchange through which you purchased the asset. The two most highly utilized software wallets are Yoroi Wallet and Daedalus Wallet. Both wallets work similarly but Yoroi tends to be a faster setup and is more intuitive and easier to use for beginner users while Dadedalus is more advanced in terms of functionality and will take a little longer to setup. Follow the links to learn more as both provide more in depth information on how to set up and use each one. The choice is really yours.

CREATE a wallet unique to you.

Follow the instructions on the software to create a wallet. Be sure to safely store the recovery phrase in such a way that you do not lose it and it can not be copied/viewed by other people. Good practice is to store the recovery phrase by writing it down such that it can not be accessed through digital means by bad actors. This recovery phrase is important as you can only recover your wallet by this unique set of words. DON’T LOSE IT. If you chose Daedalus as your wallet software you may need to wait a few hours after creating a new wallet as the the blockchain is synched, this is common since this particular wallet downloads the entire blockchain. After having generated a wallet there should be an option to copy ‘receiving’ addresses. This is the address you will send your ADA to from the off the exchange.

TRANSFER ADA to your wallet

Now that you have your wallet set up and ready to go you will need to transfer ADA from the exchange to your new wallet. Copy the receiving address exactly as shown in Yoroi/Daedalus and register a Cardano (ADA) ‘withdrawal’ address in your exchange account. Make sure you are making a Cardano (ADA) withdrawal address in your exchange account and not a different crypto currency otherwise ADA will be lost. Tip: Test the receiving address by first sending just a little ADA and waiting a few minutes to see if you have received it in your wallet (may take 1-15 minutes depending on your exchange/network load)

DELEGATE ADA to [PERK1] Stake Pool

Look for the “delegate” or “staking” tabs in your wallet. From there search for stake pool ticker PERK1 or you can copy/paste our pool ID

33122c7e6e4be44c173606fbb85efd2b76e3ec226949641a5209a7c7

Click ‘delegate to this pool’. It will take 5-10 days for your delegated ADA to register to our pool. You should however see that PERK1 pool ‘live stake’ would have increased after ~20 mins on our Adapools page. The wallet software you installed (Daedalus or Yoroi) will also provide you an overview of total rewards you have made by minting blocks together with us.
