How does ADA staking impact network security and yield optimization?

[lingriiddd]

A: ADA uses a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism via the Ouroboros protocol. Staking not only secures the network but also generates passive rewards for delegators. Advanced users often optimize yields by splitting delegations across multiple pools with varying saturation levels, or by selecting pools with lower fees but strong uptime. Additionally, understanding epoch timing (currently 5 days) allows for better planning of stake activation and reward collection cycles.

Great summary, splitting delegations + watching epoch timing is how smart ADA stakers squeeze max yield

Well put, timing epochs right turns passive staking into a real yield strategy
