Why stake with NOOPS?

We are a small, hands on pool operator with a clear goal of growing to one million ADA. Early delegators help shape the pool and share the upside as we scale. You may see smaller rewards at the start, but by joining now you support decentralization and benefit from transparent fees, green operations and active monitoring.

When you start to delegate, it will take 16–20 days until you receive your first rewards.
You will continue to receive rewards every 5 days thereafter.
You can check out our article for more details : Rewards distribution timeline

1) Buy ADA on an exchange.
2) Transfer ADA to your wallet (Daedalus or Yoroi).
3) Open the staking/delegation tab, choose NOOPS and delegate.

There are two types of fees.
Fixed cost: set by the operator and cannot be lower than 340 ADA per epoch (5 days). This is to compensate the owner of the fixed operating costs for the pool.
Margin: the operator margin is set by the pool. NOOPS sets a 0 percent margin.
Fixed cost plus operator margin equals the total fees taken from rewards.

Short answer: staking is safe.
A wallet is just an interface with the blockchain to do transactions.
While you are staking your ADA stay in your wallet.

You need to have at least 2.17 ADA to start staking.
2 ADA is the deposit (only the first you stake), the 2 ADA will be given back to you when you will stop delegating
0.17 ADA is the cost of a transaction.
So maybe start with 3 ADA to enter the cardano world.

Your ADAs stay in your wallet, so if the stake pool is unavailable your ADAs stay safe. The only impact possible is on the APY (annual percentage yield).
At the end of each epoch the operator knows exactly when the pool will be leader to mint a block. So if the pool is unaivailable during this period it will not mint the block.
With us you are in good hands, we will inform you in case of issue.
