Franken address

Vcoincheck.io
Also known as a mangled-address, is a Cardano payment address that contains payment part and staking parts of different wallets/private-keys. This is made possible due to the unique design of addresses on Cardano. A Franken address allows users to separate their staking rewards into a separate wallet. Some application developers can leverage delegation righ...

Stake address

Vcoincheck.io
Refers to a reward account, one of the two components that make up an address on Cardano. They are used in various operations related to rewards, such as delegating ADA to pools, checking the reward balance, etc. Anyone who owns a stake address also owns a stake in any associated funds linked to that address. It's worth noting that stake addresses cannot be ...

Stake key

Vcoincheck.io
Refers to a cryptographic key pair associated with a stake address. Stake keys give you access to any rewards held in the stake address, as well as the ability to delegate the wallet to a pool to earn staking rewards. Note that ADA holders can have multiple stake keys and can delegate their ADA to different stake pools simultaneously.
