Cardano (ADA) staking rewards

As of November 3, 2026, Cardano net yield is 1.95% at the median (p50, 24h window), with 2.10% at p90 and 2.12% at p99. Cardano ranks #14 of 15 chains measured on this benchmark.

Cardano median net staking yield is 1.95% across the top 50 pools by active stake. Gross is measured: the rewards actually paid for the latest computed epoch × 73 epochs a year / active stake, which already reflects reserve depletion, the treasury cut, pledge influence and saturation. Net subtracts each pool's margin; pools with a 100% margin pay delegators nothing.
