- How Cardano Staking Works
Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson made a statement denying claims of ADA being locked in staking and artificially inflated market value. Let's look at what was said and how staking in Cardano actually works.
Claims Against ADA
The allegations focus on the claim that the only reason ADA is still at the top of the crypto rankings is due to inability of stakers to sell their tokens because they are locked into staking. ADA investors are allegedly unable to sell because of staking restrictions.
Charles Hoskinson's Comment
Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson explicitly stated that the claims that ADA holders are locked into staking pools and that the market value of ADA is intentionally inflated are unfounded. Hoskinson noted that Cardano offers liquid, non-custodial staking, unlike other projects that offer liquid staking derivatives.
How Cardano Staking Works
Cardano staking allows ADA holders to stake their tokens into a staking pool to help secure the network and earn rewards every five days. Unlike other systems, staked tokens are not locked, so users can spend or move their ADA as they wish.
In conclusion, the information about ADA tokens being locked in staking and inflated market value is not supported by facts. Staking in Cardano remains liquid and available to token holders.
