Cardano staking is non-custodial: delegation assigns the staking power of your ADA to a pool without transferring ownership of the coins to the pool operator.
Open your Cardano wallet
Use a wallet that supports native Cardano delegation and open its staking or delegation section.
Find ticker ZEIT
Search for ZEIT. Do not rely on the ticker alone: compare the pool ID shown by your wallet with the official ID below.
Delegate
Confirm the delegation transaction in your wallet. Your ADA remains under your control and can still be transferred from your wallet.

Your ADA stays yours
Native Cardano staking does not require sending ADA to ZEIT. Never send funds to an address presented as a requirement for pool delegation.
Rewards are variable
Staking rewards are protocol-driven and can vary over time. Historical performance is not a promise of future rewards.
You can re-delegate
If your priorities change, you can choose another stake pool through your wallet without giving a pool operator custody of your ADA.
ADA staking with ZEIT
Do I send ADA to ZEIT?
No. Native Cardano delegation is non-custodial. You delegate from your own wallet.
How do I know I found the correct pool?
Verify ticker ZEIT against the official pool ID published on this page and the live Pool page.
Can I change stake pools later?
Yes. Cardano wallets that support delegation allow you to re-delegate to another pool.
Are staking rewards guaranteed?
No. Rewards depend on Cardano protocol mechanics and pool performance and therefore vary over time.
