Today, Moonstake announced the support of staking Cardano’s cryptocurrency ADA, one of top 10 cryptocurrencies by market cap, in Moonstake’s Web Wallet. After Cosmos, IRISnet, Ontology, Harmony and Tezos, Cardano became the 6th available coin on Moonstake Web Wallet.
Recently, Cardano launched the long-awaited Shelley Mainnet. The launch of Shelley has now brought about opportunities for ADA users to stake their ADA and help Cardano transition from a centralized, federated system to a fully decentralized one with delegated staking features & rewards incentives. Shelley is the most significant upgrade to Cardano since its inception, bringing about a new system architecture and an entirely new set of user functionalities.
Moonstake entered into partnership with Emurgo, a founding partner of Cardano protocol, on August 11, 2020. This partnership creates synergies by jointly driving blockchain staking activity and accelerating industry adoption of staking within Cardano’s ecosystem. Moonstake’s newly added ADA as a stakable coin promotes staking adoption of Cardano regionally and globally.
Moonstake Wallet is a universally advanced staking wallet that can store up to 2,000 cryptocurrency types and stake major coins. The Moonstake Wallet not only provides enterprise-grade security, but also a staking function to give users full control over their digital assets. Along with the launch of Shelley mainnet, Moonstake Wallet immediately started supporting ADA to receive, store and transfer ahead of major crypto wallets, and now ADA staking is onboard.
In this initial period of supporting ADA staking, only desktop browsers of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Opera as well as browsers of Chrome and Firefox on Android allow users for staking. Users of Internet Explorer and Safari, and iOS mobile users are required to download available browsers on desktop for access.
