You've got ADA. Now what?
Three things you can do with it, all from the wallet app you claimed with. Your ADA stays in your wallet the whole time, so start with whichever appeals.
Stake it
Staking puts your ADA behind a stake pool, one of the independently run computers that keep Cardano going. Your ADA never leaves your wallet and is never locked, and you can switch pools or stop whenever you like.
In your wallet app, open its staking section, choose a pool and confirm.
The first time you stake, Cardano holds a deposit of ₳2, which comes back to you if you ever stop. Your wallet app shows a small network fee before you confirm.
Use your vote
Holding ADA gives you a say in how Cardano changes and how its shared treasury is spent. You can hand your vote to a DRep, a representative who votes on your behalf, or vote on proposals yourself. You can change your choice whenever you like.
Both sites list the same DReps. If one does not load, try the other. Not ready to choose someone? Choose Abstain, and pick a DRep later if you want to.
Open the apps
Each of these runs on Cardano today. Open one in your wallet app's browser, connect your wallet and try it.
Swap tokens
Trade one token for another. An aggregator looks across the exchanges for you.
Lending
Lend tokens to other people, or borrow against tokens you already hold.
Perpetuals
Trade on which way a market will move, from your own wallet rather than an exchange account.
Automated trading
Choose a trading strategy and let it run, without handing your tokens to anyone.
Synthetics
Tokens that track gold, oil or other assets, without holding the thing itself.
Real-world assets
Property, funds and businesses recorded on Cardano, so ownership can be split into small shares.
AI agents
Hire an AI agent to do a job, and let it pay for what it uses on Cardano.
Storage and computing
Store files or run software on a network of ordinary computers, or rent out your own.
Memecoins
Tokens made for fun and for their communities, with no product behind them. Treat them as a game.
