Cardano stake pool since the ITN

Stake for CAKE

An independent, single-operator Cardano pool that has been minting blocks since staking began. Delegate straight from your browser wallet - your ADA never leaves your wallet, and you can undelegate whenever you like.

Track record

Two measures, two charts - block production and delegated stake are on completely different scales, so they never share an axis.

Blocks minted per epoch

Each block is roughly 5 days of scheduled slots won.

Active stake per epoch

The stake snapshot that was actually earning in each epoch.

How delegating works

Delegation on Cardano is a certificate, not a transfer. Your ADA stays in your wallet the whole time - it is never locked, never moved, and never held by us. You keep spending it normally while it earns.

Connect your wallet

We detect the CIP-30 wallets installed in your browser. Nothing is sent anywhere until you pick one.

Review the transaction

Our server builds the delegation certificate against live protocol parameters and shows you the exact fee first.

Sign in your wallet

Your keys never leave your wallet. We only receive the signature, then hand the finished transaction back for submission.

Earn from epoch +2

Delegation activates after two epoch boundaries. Rewards then arrive automatically, every epoch, in your wallet.

What it costs

Network transaction fee ~0.18 ADA
Stake key deposit (first time only) 2 ADA
Pool margin 0.0%
Pool fixed cost per epoch 170 ADA
Amount we can ever touch 0 ADA

The 2 ADA deposit is refunded in full if you ever deregister your stake key. Since the Plomin hard fork we also set your DRep to abstain in the same transaction, which is what keeps your rewards flowing under Conway governance.

CIP-30 compatible

Supported wallets

Any wallet implementing the CIP-30 dApp connector works. These are the ones we test against - install one, then hit Delegate and it will show up automatically.

Using Yoroi or SecondFi? Move your funds. Yoroi rebranded to SecondFi in April 2026, and in June 2026 a flaw in its key generation was exploited to drain wallets. Treat any wallet created with the Yoroi or SecondFi web tool as compromised: move the funds to a newly generated wallet - ideally hardware-backed - and never reuse that seed phrase. Read more.

Nami and Flint are no longer maintained. Nami was retired in January 2025 and lives on as "Nami Mode" inside Lace. The delegate dialog will still list either if it is installed, but we cannot vouch for how they behave.
