# StakeADA ## StakeADA is building a scalable and decentralized staking protocol on Cardano, governed by the community. Cardano is the market leader in PoS as a collection of protocols for economic support to billions of people. Over the last decade, the decentralized Finance (DeFi) space has been forced to evolve to keep pace with the development of the digital asset market. StakeADA protocol will power foundational the new wave of flexible financial markets by providing a layer for instant stake approval, automated APR, trustless custody, and liquidity.\ \ We believe Cardano will mature to be the Layer 1 platform of choice as developers and investors recognize the network’s potential to challenge the embedded status quo of monopolistic power structures within the world of crypto. As such, Cardano focuses on moving toward an all-inclusive technological standard and open platform with unmatched security and tremendous blockchain speed, all of which result in lower transaction fees. Since the Cardano project is under the administration of a non-profit foundation and offers many advanced functionalities, we project that most future blockchain and crypto projects will look to Cardano as the better option against its competitors. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
