eToro enables staking rewards for Cardano
The multi-asset brokerage eToro is set to unlock the staking-as-a-service option for Cardano (ADA). The new functionality that will allow anyone earning ADA by staking the assets supported by eToro will go live in October. Apart from ADA, users will be able to earn Tron (TRX) at the initial stages. Later on, the company plans to add support for NEO, Tezos, EOS, and ETH 2.0.
Users will get their staking rewards monthly with no additional steps needed. The platform will send them emails detailing their yield and the calculation formula.
Cardano's ADA now brings an annual yield of 7.82%.
"We are proud to be one of the first regulated platforms to offer a staking service for Cardano and will be further expanding our staking service in the coming months," eToro CEO and Co-founder Yoni Assia, said commenting the news.
Shopify wants to allow users paying with ADA
A new app created by an Australian developer Jeronimo Backes integrates Cardano with the Shopify platform, making the coins available as a means of payment in all Shopify stores.
The project allows Shopify stores processing transactions in ADA tokens and other tokens built on the Cardano network.
The app has an open code, meaning that other developers may contribute to it and customize it to answer various stores' needs. Once the store owner installs the app, they will be able to receive the funds in ADA directly from buyers without the need of an intermediary.
