Can You Stake ADA on Coinbase?

The short answer is no, you cannot stake ADA on Coinbase. The longer answer is that there are a few workarounds that might allow you to do so, but they are all quite complicated and may not be worth the effort.

The easiest way to stake ADA would be to simply buy some and hold it in your own personal wallet. This is called “self-staking” and it requires no special software or hardware.

However, it also means that you will not earn any rewards for staking your ADA since those are only given out to delegators.

NOTE: WARNING: Staking ADA on Coinbase may be considered a high-risk activity. Please do your own research and understand all of the risks involved before staking any cryptocurrency. Staking can lead to loss of capital, and there is no guarantee that you will receive any returns. It is important to remember that cryptocurrency investments are subject to market volatility and other factors, so please make sure to use caution before investing.

If you really want to earn rewards for staking your ADA, you will need to delegate it to a stake pool. Unfortunately, there are no pools that currently support delegation from Coinbase wallets.

This means that you would need to first transfer your ADA from Coinbase to another wallet (such as Daedalus or Yoroi), and then delegate it from there.

While this is certainly possible, it is a bit of a hassle and not something that we would recommend for most people. Unless you are really interested in earning staking rewards, self-staking is probably the way to go.
