Cardano stake pools

Your ADA stays
where it is.

Mura runs seven Cardano stake pools, taken over from EMURGO in September 2026. Delegating never moves or locks your ADA: it stays in your own wallet, free to send or sell at any time.

Delegating to a former EMURGO pool? Nothing to do. The pool ID is unchanged; only the name moved from EMUR to MURA. See the mapping

Why Mura

Built so you can delegate serious money with confidence.

Your ADA never moves

Delegation is a wallet setting. You send nothing, deposit nothing, lock nothing. Mura has no way to touch your ADA; the protocol does not allow it.

Low fees

The only deductions are the protocol's minimum fixed cost and a low margin. The table below shows the values registered on chain, read live.

Seven pools running since 2023

We took over the pools EMURGO ran, as they are. If you delegate to a former EMUR pool, rewards keep coming without you doing anything.

Dedicated infrastructure, watched around the clock

Each pool has its own block producer, connected through relays in London, Amsterdam and New York. The pools' keys are kept offline on hardware wallets.

What saturation means

A pool earns efficiently up to a stake ceiling (currently about 77.8M ADA). Saturation is stake as a share of that ceiling. Above 100%, every delegator's reward rate in that pool drops. Room is what the pool can still take before the ceiling.

Recent return is the average annualised return of the last 18 epochs (about 90 days). It does not guarantee future rewards.

Former EMURGO pools

Only the name (ticker) changed; the pool ID and your delegation are the same. Note that the numbering changed order.

How to delegate

Four steps, a few minutes.

Delegate right here

Connect your browser wallet (Eternl, Lace and others, Ledger included). You check the transaction in your wallet before you sign.

  1. Get a wallet

    Use a Cardano wallet such as Eternl or Lace. Hardware wallets like Ledger and Trezor work too. ADA held on an exchange must first move to your own wallet.

  2. Find the pool

    In your wallet's staking or delegation screen, search "MURA" and pick a pool. If it does not show, paste the pool ID from the table.

  3. Confirm

    Sign the transaction and you are done. The first delegation only costs a 2 ADA deposit, returned when you stop, plus a transaction fee of about 0.2 ADA.

  4. Receive rewards

    The first rewards arrive about 15 to 20 days after delegating, then every 5 days (one epoch), automatically. Rewards received count toward your delegation too.

Large holders

Split a large delegation and keep the full reward rate.

Delegating millions of ADA? Spreading it across pools with room avoids saturation, so none of it earns less. Mura's seven pools are built to take it.

  • Stay under saturation

    Each pool earns efficiently up to a stake ceiling. Stake above it dilutes rewards, so a large amount goes to several pools with room.

  • One account per pool

    A wallet account (stake key) delegates to exactly one pool. Add accounts in Eternl or on your hardware wallet to split across pools from the same device.

  • Keep your hardware wallet

    Ledger and Trezor keys never leave the device. Delegation is signed on the device itself.

  • Talk to the operators

    We will discuss amounts and splits with you directly by DM on X, in English or Japanese.

    DM @hinsoncode

Split planner

Enter the amount you are considering. It goes to the lowest-fee pools first, then the pools with the most room, keeping every pool at or under 90% saturation.

ADA

Estimated rewards use each pool's return over about the last 90 days. Rewards vary and are not guaranteed.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is my ADA locked when I delegate?

No. It stays in your wallet and you can send or sell it at any time. Delegation applies to the whole balance of the wallet account and follows it as it changes.

I delegate to a former EMURGO pool (EMUR1 to 6, YOROI). Do I need to do anything?

Nothing. The pool ID has not changed, only the name (ticker), which is now MURA. Your delegation continues and rewards are not interrupted. See the mapping

How are fees taken?

Each epoch, the pool's fixed cost comes off the pool's rewards first, then the margin as a share of the rest; what remains is shared among delegators by stake. Both values are registered on chain and shown in the table.

What is saturation?

Once a pool's stake passes a ceiling, the reward rate falls for everyone delegating to it. That ceiling is currently about 77.8M ADA. With seven pools, Mura has room to take a large delegation spread across them.

Do I need to delegate to a DRep to withdraw rewards?

Yes. Since 2025, withdrawing rewards requires your stake key to also delegate to a DRep (a governance representative); Abstain is an option. Rewards still accrue every epoch without one, and count toward your delegation.

Can I delegate ADA held on an exchange?

No. ADA on an exchange is under the exchange's control. Move it to your own wallet first, then delegate.

Can I delegate with a hardware wallet?

Yes. Connect a Ledger or Trezor to Eternl, Lace or similar. Signing happens on the device and the key never leaves it.

Can I switch pools or stop delegating?

At any time. Switching costs only the transaction fee, about 0.2 ADA. Stopping (deregistering the stake key) returns the 2 ADA deposit.
