# Staking & Earning Rewards
ELLIPAL supports staking across all devices, including:
● ELLIPAL Titan
● ELLIPAL Titan 2.0
● ELLIPAL X Card
Currently supported staking assets:
● ATOM, XTZ, DOT, KSM, ADA
This tutorial uses ELLIPAL X Card staking ADA as an example.
The staking process is the same across devices, with the only difference being the signing method.
### **Steps**
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
### **Open Staking**

B. Tap Staking → Select ADA
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### **Start Delegation**
A. Tap Delegate
B. Select a staking pool
C. Tap Delegate
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### **Confirm Transaction**
A. Review delegation details
B. Tap Delegate
C. Confirm transaction details
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### **Sign Transaction**
A. Enter X Card PIN
B. Hold X Card near your phone (NFC) to signIf you are using ELLIPAL Titan:
Scan the QR code with your device to complete signing.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### **Complete Staking**
A. Wait for the transaction to be processed
B. Delegation will be completed on-chain
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
### **Result**
Your assets are now successfully staked.
You will start earning rewards based on the network rules.

### **ADA Staking Rewards (Important)**
The first time you stake ADA, it will take at least 20 days to receive your first reward.
This is because Cardano uses a system of 5-day cycles (epochs):
● Epoch 1 (Days 1–5): Delegation submitted
● Epoch 2 (Days 6–10): Delegation becomes active
● Epoch 3 (Days 11–15): Rewards are calculated
● Epoch 4 (Days 16–20): Rewards are distributed
After this:
● Rewards are paid at the end of every epoch
Note:
● If the staking pool does not generate rewards, it may take longer

### **Staking Information**
**Supported Assets**
● ATOM
● XTZ
● DOT
● KSM
● ADA
***
### **Minimum Staking Requirements**
● ATOM
● Minimum delegation ≥ 0.000001 ATOMXTZ
Balance must be ≥ 100.5 XTZ
● Delegation amount = full balanceDOT
Minimum 250 DOT for initial delegation
● Re-delegation after full unstake also requires ≥ 250 DOTKSM
Minimum 0.1 KSM for initial delegation
● Re-delegation after full unstake also requires ≥ 0.1 KSMADA
Delegation amount = balance - fee - 2 ADA deposit
Minimum balance required ≥ 4 ADA
***
### **Unstaking / Unlock Time**
● ATOM Withdrawal takes \~21 days
● XTZ Withdrawal takes \~2 hours
● DOT Unbonding period: 28 days
● KSM Unbonding period: 7 days
● ADA Usually completes within \~2 hours

**Notes**
Staking rules are defined by each blockchain and may change based on their official protocols.
Actual rewards and timing depend on network conditions and validator performance.
Always check the latest rules from official project sources when needed.

### **FAQ**
Why am I not receiving ADA rewards?
The first reward may take at least 20 days due to the epoch mechanism.
Why can’t I claim ADA rewards and am asked to re-delegate?
Due to recent updates in the ADA staking protocol, additional requirements have been introduced.
This may cause your current delegation to be unable to claim rewards.
Solution:
* Re-delegate your ADA to another staking pool
* After re-delegation takes effect, rewards can be claimed normally
Note:
Any pending rewards will still be distributed in future epochs
