Cardano staking mechanism

The Cardano blockchain uses a staking mechanism based on game theory rather than slashing. The implications of Cardano’s design choice are: first, bid in Cardano is liquid and does not block the user’s ADA for any period.

Secondly, delegating Cardano to ADA does not give ownership of them to the staking pool operator. The storage of the ADA cryptocurrency delegated to the Cardano staking pool is always under the control of the owner’s private key.

As previously reported, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson commented on the Ethereum staking mechanism following a tweet by Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong that the SEC plans to ban retail access to staking.

“Staking Ethereum is problematic. Temporarily transferring your assets to someone else so they can make a profit is very similar to regulated products. Reduction and bonds are not so good. I have been using for 13 years,” he stated.

Hoskinson added: “All proof-of-stake protocols can be lumped together due to a fundamental misunderstanding of the actual facts of operation and design. [of staking].”
