Hey guys, I was delegating my ADA to a pool and the fee stated 0.17ish. After I delegated, a 2.17 ADA transaction showed up. Is this normal?

That happened to me too. I also looked at the transaction ID and it has all my ADA as the output and 0.174433 ADA transaction fee. When I look at Daedalus I sent 2.17443 ADA. My larger amount of ADA is there for now, but it has me worried TBH.
I hope I don’t wake up tomorrow and all my ADA is gone! Nobody is replying to my other post about this.

@Apple1
Someone got this response:
Thank you for contacting the IOHK Technical Service Desk.
That 2 ADA is the KeyDeposit required to register you stake address on the blockchain. You can find KeyDeposit parameter in the Shelley genesis file, here: [https://hydra.iohk.io/build/3670619/download/1/mainnet-shelley-genesis.json](https://hydra.iohk.io/build/3670619/download/1/mainnet-shelley-genesis.json)
You will get that 2 Ada back when and if you UNDELEGATE your wallet.
**Thanks,**
**The IOHK Technical Service Desk**
They need to add an explanation on Daedalus so that people don’t get spooked.

Thanks for posting @necropuddi! I was curious about this as well because the 2 ADA didn’t appear to be listed as a transaction fee on the cardano explorer so I had no idea where it went!
