The annualized equivalent returns given by this calculator assume that stake is delegated to GOAT for a 365-day period, and that stake pool performance is consistent over that timeframe.
Frequently Asked Questions
Driven by our passion for the Cardano ecosystem, Goat Stake aims to provide a highly professional staking service that is reliable and profitable for delegators.
We’ve got an experienced team of developers and system engineers operating the stake pool infrastructure. As a participant, you can be assured that our stake pools will be up and running 24/7.
Pledging is the act of stake pool operators having their own ADA as part of the pool’s stake. The higher the amount of ADA pledged, the more rewards the pool will receive.
During pool registration, stake pool operators may opt to pledge some or all of their stake to make their pool more attractive.
Goat Stake has a total of 3 million+ ADA pledged across all GOAT pools. We operate some of the highest-pledged stake pools on the market.
Saturation is a term used to indicate that a particular stake pool has more stake delegated to it than is ideal for the network. Once a pool reaches the point of saturation, it will offer diminishing rewards.

The overall annual return on ADA should be around 5% as per current protocol parameters. The amount of ADA you can earn is not fixed, it depends greatly on the following factors:
- Amount of ADA staked
- Performance of the stake pool
- Percentage of fee the stake pool charges
You can use the rewards calculator to get an idea of how much you will earn in rewards. It’s important to note that the calculator produces only reward estimates and shouldn’t be considered definitive or a guarantee of reward amounts.
The minimum requirement for staking is 10 ADA. Please note that an additional 2 ADA deposit and ~0.17 tx fee are also required when delegating for the first time.
For any change in delegation, the rewards are reflected after 4 epoch transitions (15-20 days).
For example, if you staked in epoch X, your first reward will show up at the start of X+4.
After the initial wait time, you can expect to receive rewards at the end of every epoch (5 days).
Yes. After you have delegated your stake to a particular stake pool, the rewards you earn are automatically staked to the pool as part of your delegation. This goes true for any new funds received from the wallet as well.
Any balance change in the wallet will be automatically captured as part of the snapshot and incur updated rewards after 15-20 days.
