Guide: How to stake ADA
If you had ada in a Daedalus or Yoroi wallet when the balance snapshot was taken at 12.00 UTC on November 29, 2019, you can participate. If not, you will need to wait until mainnet Cardano is upgraded to Shelley.
1. Install an official wallet from Cardano.org
Choice of Daedalus or Yoroi
Yoroi will be the quickest choice and is a lightweight wallet that runs in your browser or mobile phone.
For this example, we will delegate with Yoroi.
2. Install Yoroi from your app store
3. Click on the Delegation (Simple) tab
4. Search for a Stake Pool you would like to delegate to.
