It stands out for its research-based development, which is organized into phases, each improving different parts of the network. The platform's native cryptocurrency is ADA, and it uses a proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism called Ouroboros. Cardano is supported directly in the Trezor Suite and Trezor Suite Lite apps.
Buying Cardano (ADA) is seamless with a Trezor hardware wallet. Using Trezor Suite, users can navigate to the “Buy & sell” tab and select a compatible exchange powered by Invity.io.
You can stake your Cardano directly in Trezor Suite. In your Cardano account, navigate to the Staking tab and hit the Delegate button. Learn more about Staking Cardano on the Trezor Knowledge Base.
With the Trezor Suite app, ADA holders can stake either individually or delegate their ADA to a staking pool. Staking pools are formed by groups of ADA holders, who combine their ADA to increase their chance of being chosen to produce new blocks and validate transactions. After delegating, users earn rewards in the form of additional ADA coins. These rewards are usually paid out approximately every 5 days (equivalent to one epoch). Users can unstake and re-delegate to another pool if desired.
Cardano will have a maximum supply of 45 billion ADA.
Cardano is designed to gradually reach its maximum total supply of 45 billion ADA through a process called "monetary expansion." There is no specific date for when this maximum supply will be reached, but it is expected to take several decades following the launch of the Cardano project.
When it comes to securely storing and managing Cardano (ADA), Trezor is the trusted choice. As one of the leading hardware wallets in the crypto space, Trezor provides exceptional security by keeping access to your ADA offline, protecting it from hacks and malware.
With the Trezor Suite app, you can easily send, receive, and manage your ADA while enjoying a user-friendly interface and advanced security features. Additionally, Trezor allows you to stake ADA directly within the app, enabling you to earn rewards while maintaining control over your funds. For anyone serious about safeguarding their cryptocurrency, Trezor stands out as one of the best wallets available for Cardano.
To add Cardano (ADA) to your wallet, you have two convenient options with Trezor. First, you can send Cardano from another wallet or exchange directly to your Trezor device. To do this, simply open the Trezor Suite app, select Cardano, and generate a receive address. Copy this address and use it to initiate the transfer from your existing wallet or exchange.
Alternatively, you can buy Cardano directly within the Trezor Suite app. Navigate to the “Buy & sell” tab, enter the amount of fiat currency you wish to spend on ADA, and choose a compatible exchange. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the purchase, and the Cardano will be securely added to your Trezor wallet. Both options ensure that your ADA is stored safely and managed effectively.
