Today, Moonstake is happy to announce that we support Cardano non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Starting today, users can hold, send, receive, and track their Cardano NFTs on Moonstake web and mobile wallets with the best user experience. With this new addition, Moonstake now supports NFTs of Ethereum’s market-leading ERC-721 standard as well as the popular Cardano NFTs.
Moonstake started the staking business last year with the aim to create the largest staking network in Asia. Since then, we have developed the most user-friendly Web Wallet and Mobile Wallet (iOS / Android) with support for over 2000 cryptocurrencies. After a full-scale operation launched in August 2020, Moonstake’s total staking assets have grown rapidly to reach $1 Billion, allowing Moonstake to become one of the top 10 staking providers globally. Since March this year, Moonstake has also entered DeFi together with the newly launched DeFi platform, Muse.Finance, who has begun releasing its core DeFi products which are all scheduled to be integrated into Moonstake platform to enable advanced DeFi connectivity for our global users.
Meanwhile, Cardano is a market-leading Proof-of-Stake blockchain network that aims to allow “changemakers, innovators and visionaries” to bring about positive global change. Following the completion of Alonzo hard fork that enabled smart contracts, NFT projects began to be developed and launched on the platform and Cardano NFTs soon exploded in popularity thanks to the implementation of Cardano Improvement Proposal 25 that gave the platform a defined NFT metadata standard for its native tokens. Since August 2020, Moonstake has been a strong staking provider for ADA staking, Cardano’s native token, and we have also been strategic partners of Emurgo, the commercial arm of Cardano. With this new development, Moonstake is once again strengthening its position as a market-leading staking platform for Cardano and we hope to better serve the needs of ADA users worldwide.
How to enable Cardano NFTs for your Moonstake wallet:
1. Register your Moonstake Wallet via Web or mobile (iOS / Android)
2. From the Wallet screen, click “Add New Asset”, then select the “Cardano NFT” tab.
3. Search your Cardano NFT name, then click “Add” next to the Cardano NFT you want, then click “Apply” to enable.
4. From the “Wallets” screen, select “Cardano NFT”, then “View Asset” to check your NFT.

Moonstake is pleased to announce that we’ve integrated our DeFi application partner, Muse Finance (shortened as Muse), into the Web Wallet to bring advanced DeFi connectivity to our platform. This means that directly through the Moonstake wallet interface, you can now participate in Muse’s current lockdrops and use the DeFi applications that Muse plans to implement in the future. This will be the first time in the world that Muse will be integrated. Since the announcement of our joint entrance to DeFi in March 2021, we have been working together closely to develop and promote high-quality DeFi products that aim to resolve staking illiquidity.
Moonstake launched its staking business in 2020 with the aim to create the largest staking network in Asia. Since then, it has developed the most user-friendly Web Wallet and Mobile Wallet (iOS/Android) with support for over 2000 cryptocurrencies. After a full-scale operation launched in August 2020, Moonstake’s total staking assets have grown rapidly to reach $1 Billion, allowing Moonstake to become one of the top 5 staking providers globally. Currently, Moonstake supports 12 high-demand staking coins: Cosmos, IRIS, Ontology, Harmony, Tezos, Cardano, Qtum, Polkadot, Quras, Centrality, Orbs, and IOST.
Muse is a comprehensive DeFi platform launched in March 2021. It is working to launch various DeFi products, including a Wrapper to issue wrapped tokens for staking assets that can be used to provide liquidity to staked assets, as well as DEX (decentralized exchange) and Lending platforms to facilitate the distribution of such assets.
A feature of Muse already implemented in the Moonstake wallet is lockdrop. Lockdrop is a common, low-risk method of token distribution mechanism in the DeFi industry without raising money while incentivizing user participation. Instead of combining the sale of tokens with assets, lockdrop sees “loss of opportunity” as collateral and distributes tokens in return for valuable losses. For more information about lockdrop, please click here (https://tinyurl.com/39rd9hve)
Furthermore, users can also utilize the affiliate program to earn extra referral rewards by inviting others to participate in the lockdrop.
The connection with DeFi products, which has been growing strong since last year, will further enhance the user experience of Moonstake platform. Future product launches of Muse will add liquidity to the staking assets and open the door to innovative DeFi products, all of which will be supported by Moonstake as usual.

Moonstake is pleased to announce we are now partners with PL^Gnet and a proud member of the PL^Gnet Partner Alliance. Through this partnership, Moonstake can expand access to DeFi services, exchanges, and custodians participating in the PL^Gnet partner ecosystem for its users.
Moonstake launched its staking business in 2020 with the aim to create the largest staking network in Asia. Since then, we have developed the most user-friendly Web Wallet and Mobile Wallet (iOS/Android) with support for over 2000 cryptocurrencies. After a full-scale operation launched in August 2020, Moonstake’s total staking assets have grown rapidly to reach $1 Billion, allowing Moonstake to become one of the top 10 staking providers globally. Currently, Moonstake supports 12 high-demand staking coins: Cosmos, IRIS, Ontology, Harmony, Tezos, Cardano, Qtum, Polkadot, Quras, Centrality, Orbs, and IOST.
Meanwhile, PL^Gnet is an advanced multi-chain synthetic assets protocol, designed to enable asset custodians to leverage any asset from any network in its synthetic form as well as innovative DeFi services. It provides the benefits of transparency, composability, and interoperability crucial to DeFi in a way that allows improved regulatory compliance. The protocol helps asset custodians to put their “at rest” assets to work for their clients in a safe space.
PL^Gnet currently has more than 10 initial partners, more than 1,000 assets and more than $10 billion in trading volume daily between members. Global cryptocurrency exchanges such as MXC and BKEX have already announced in the PL^Gnet ecosystem, in which collaboration with various more partners also expected. With the PL^G token, anyone can take part in the governance of the PL^Gnet network and access a wide range of Exchanges, Custody Providers, Asset managers and Staking Farms. The groundbreaking protocol allows users to hold their asset with their existing provider and use that asset inside of a DeFi environment on PL^Gnet, as well as cross-chain interaction from any asset listed with a provider that is connected to PL^Gnet.
Mitsuru Tezuka, Founder at Moonstake says: “We’re pleased to partner with PL^Gnet, the breakthrough Proof-of-Stake protocol that enables anyone to access a wealth of valuable DeFi services on the market. As a member of the PL^Gnet Partner Alliance, Moonstake is also proud to provide users of the PL^Gnet ecosystem access to our world-leading staking services for the market’s most demanded staking coins. With the expansion of our ecosystem through the DeFi platform Muse.Finance, Moonstake is poised to be a valuable addition to the already robust Partner Alliance of PL^Gnet, which will in return open up even more exciting opportunities for our own users. Right now, DeFi users make up only 5% of the total population of crypto users, and our partnership, which is focused on creating high liquidity, will boost this number to new heights!”
Jerry Yuan, CEO at PL^Gnet says: “PL^Gnet is excited to welcome Moonstake, one of the world’s top 10 largest staking providers with user-friendly, secure, and highly powerful staking wallets, into our Partner Alliance. We are always looking to enrich our ecosystem with reputable, high-value projects and boost liquidity, and so far, we are very much impressed with the market position Moonstake has achieved in just one year since launch, as well as the striking development they have made with Muse.Finance to expand the value of their ecosystem.
