CARDANO DELEGATION GUIDE
Stake ADA with XC0DE
Delegate without sending your ADA anywhere. Your funds remain in your wallet while your stake supports an independent Cardano pool.

Verify the Real XC0DE Pool
Do not rely on the ticker alone. Match the pool hash or Bech32 ID before confirming delegation.
Pool Hash
Use this hexadecimal identifier in wallets and explorers that request a pool hash.

Delegate in 6 Steps
The wording inside each wallet may differ slightly, but the delegation flow is the same.
Choose a wallet from an official source
Install Lace, Eternl, Daedalus, VESPR, or a compatible hardware-backed wallet from an official project link above.
- Avoid advertisements, unsolicited messages, and unofficial download mirrors.
- Use a wallet where you control the recovery phrase or hardware device.
Back up your recovery words
Write the words on paper, or stamp them into a metal backup plate with a letter punch set. Keep the backup private, dry, and somewhere only you can access. Anyone who finds these words can take your ADA.
- Never send the words to a pool operator or support account.
- Never photograph them or save them in email, chat, or cloud storage.
Fund your own Cardano wallet
Send ADA to a receive address generated by your wallet and wait for confirmation. Keep enough available for the fee and any stake-address deposit shown by the wallet.
Open staking or delegation
Look for Staking, Delegation, Stake Pools, or Delegation Center. Search for ticker XC0DE, then open the pool details.
Match the pool identity
Verify the website, pool hash, or Bech32 ID against this page. A matching ticker alone is not enough.
- Ticker: XC0DE
- Website: xc0de.io
- Bech32 ID:
Review and confirm the delegation
Sign the transaction in your wallet or on your hardware device. Your ADA remains spendable in your wallet. Delegation changes and rewards follow Cardano’s epoch cycle.
What happens next
From delegation to rewards
Cardano staking follows the network’s epoch cycle. It is not instant, but your ADA remains available while the protocol processes each stage.
01
Delegation is submitted
Your wallet signs and sends a delegation certificate to the Cardano network.
02
Snapshots record your stake
Epoch snapshots register your wallet balance and selected stake pool.
03
XC0DE produces a block
When the protocol selects XC0DE and a block is successfully minted, the pool earns rewards.
04
Rewards reach your wallet
The protocol calculates your share. Small-pool rewards naturally vary, so some epochs may pay nothing.
Cross-check XC0DE
Independent pool verification
Open the same pool record on several Cardano data services. The identifiers should match everywhere.
pool.pm
PoolTool
CardanoScan
Cexplorer
AdaStat
Match ticker XC0DE, the pool hash, and the pool1… ID—not just the pool name.
Know before you delegate
Staking keeps you in control
Delegation supports XC0DE without handing over your ADA, locking your funds, or promising a fixed return. These four facts explain the boundaries clearly.
Your ADA stays yours
No payment to the pool
Delegation points your stake to XC0DE. It does not send your ADA to the operator.
No staking lockup
Spend whenever you need
You can send or receive ADA normally. Your delegated amount follows your wallet balance.
Your keys remain private
XC0DE cannot access funds
The pool never receives your recovery words or private keys and cannot move your ADA.
Rewards naturally vary
No fixed return is promised
Rewards depend on block production and network conditions. Small pools can have quiet epochs.
Staking FAQ
Does my ADA leave my wallet?
No. Delegation assigns the stake associated with your ADA to a pool; it does not send the ADA to the operator.
Is delegated ADA locked?
No. You can send or receive ADA while delegated. Your delegated amount follows the balance in the wallet.
Can XC0DE control my wallet?
No. A stake pool receives no private keys and cannot spend, freeze, or move your ADA.
Are rewards guaranteed?
No. Rewards depend on protocol parameters, delegated stake, and block production. Small independent pools naturally have more epoch-to-epoch variance.
Can I switch pools later?
Yes. Re-delegate from your wallet whenever you choose; the update follows Cardano’s epoch cycle.
