A Cardano staking pool is a node or server on the Cardano network that acts on behalf of stakeholder. It is usually set up and run by an individual or entity with the requisite resources, technical skills, and time. If you don’t have the technical capacity or capabilities to set up your own node, you can choose to delegate your stake to a staking pool. In return, the delegators receive a share of the reward our staking pool earns.

As a Cardano staking pool, we are responsible for processing transactions and producing new blocks at the core of Ouroboros, the Cardano proof-of-stake protocol. Our staking pool - Cardaspians - has an impeccable reputation. We have been providing reliable and high-performance staking services for several years now. Our lifetime ROS (Return on Staking) proves that.

Stake delegation is the process by which ADA holders delegate the stake associated with their ADA to a certain stake pool.
It allows the holders that do not have the skill or desire to run a staking pool, to passively participate in the network and therefore be rewarded in proportion to the amount of stake delegated. 
This proportion is also called ROA (Return on ADA) or ROS (Return on Staking) and is noted in a certain percentage.

The overall annual return on ADA depends on a lot of different parameters. It is not fixed and changes constantly. You can check this on pooltool.io or adapool.org.

The parameters are:

-  Amount of ADA staked
-  Performance of the staking pool
-  Percentage of fee the staking pool charges.

Cardaspians doesn’t have any variable fees.

You can use our rewards calculator to get an idea of how much rewards you will earn. It’s important to note that the calculator produces only reward estimates and shouldn’t be considered definitive or a guarantee of reward amounts.
