Staking for Cardano’s ADA cryptocurrency is now supported on U.S.-based cryptocurrency exchange Kraken, according to a blog post.

• Users are able to access the staking option inside their Kraken Staking Wallet after the option went live at 21:00 UTC on Tuesday.
• Rewards of 4% to 6% are being offered to those staking ADA, Kraken said.
• Payouts are to be delivered on a regular weekly basis and are currently available for Starter, Intermediate and Pro account tiers.
• Cardano is built with a proof-of-stake mechanism providing developers with the ability to operate smart contracts and run decentralized applications.
• Staking in ADA helps power the network by allowing users to vote on changes to how the network is managed and executed.
• ADA's addition brings the exchange's staking offerings to seven, including Ethereum 2, Polkadot and Flow, among others.
