What’s the difference between EVM and Cardano staking?

  1. EVM staking:
    1. Stake EVM-based WMTx directly using a Web3 wallet like MetaMask. You interact with smart contracts and manage your staking through the EVM staking app. Rewards are calculated and distributed on a rolling 30-day epoch basis.
  2. Cardano staking:
    1. ​Stake Cardano-based WMTx from a supported wallet using the Vault. This option also allows ENNFT holders to boost their staking power - each ENNFT contributes 100,000 WMTx toward your staking balance. Cardano rewards follow a monthly cycle, with snapshots taken on the 1st of each month at 11:30am UTC. Your tokens must be staked before the snapshot to qualify. 

Both options offer the same rewards structure and empower you to participate in the movement, but they differ in technical flow, timing, and setup. Choose the one that fits your wallet, token, and preferred experience.
