 Staking Cardano is a great way to earn ADA staking rewards as a form of passive income for holding Cardano. In this article, we will discuss, "What is Cardano Staking? When will You Start Earning Rewards?" Let's get started.

What is Cardano Staking?

Staking Cardano (ADA) is a great approach to get passive income. It can be thought of as interest in your cryptocurrency investments.

Staking some assets involves agreeing to lock up your tokens for a predetermined amount of time, during which time they are not usable. With Cardano, this is not the case. You can use your ADA whenever you choose, just like Tezos.

When will You Start Earning Rewards?

You will need to wait 20 days for approval before you can begin staking your Cardano, and then an additional 5 days (one epoch) will pass before you can begin receiving rewards.

This means you should start earning your rewards 25 days after clicking Start Staking and then every 5 days after that. If you make subsequent deposits, these are staked automatically and you will need to wait for the full 25-day cycle to complete before earning rewards for those deposits. Rewards will be paid out two epochs (10 days) after you've earned them.
