You can stake the ADA on your BitBox02 through NUFI. Your ADA never leaves your device, stays spendable the whole time, and every staking transaction is approved on your BitBox02.
Before you start
- Pair your BitBox02's Cardano accounts with NUFI. See Manage BitBox02 using NUFI wallet.
- Update your BitBox02 firmware using the BitBoxApp, then close the BitBoxApp completely.
- Have a few spare ADA. The first time you stake from an account, the blockchain takes a 2 ADA deposit (refunded if you stop staking), plus a small network fee.
Steps
- Click Stake Now next to ADA on the Home screen, or click Staking in the left-hand sidebar.
- Choose your BitBox02 Cardano account and click Stake ADA.
- Choose a stake pool, or use the recommended one. On Cardano, your account's entire ADA balance is staked. You can't stake part of it.
- Click Continue, review the deposit and fee, then approve the transaction on your BitBox02.
Your first rewards arrive in about 15–20 days, then every 5 days. Rewards are staked automatically, and you can withdraw them to your available balance at any time.
